"…The same logic can be applied to Star Wars. Because they are so helpless, so innocent, so sweet, so peace-loving, so klutzy, the rebels inevitably beguile an unsuspecting public into supporting their cause. But once we get past their seductive Tinkerbell qualities, it becomes obvious that the rebels stand for everything modern people despise. They are inefficient. They are disorganized. They do not finish what they start. They are incapable of making quick decisions. They cannot keep their eyes on the prize. In fact, it is not going too far to say that they are complete and utter screw-ups.
For starters, they are dinky. The first insurgents we see in A New Hope are the slapdash droid R2D2 and and the prissy, fuddy-duddy robot C3PO…This pair of electronic nerds look like hastily assembled props at a poorly attended Mensa Halloween bash. By comparison, the first villains that we see are the nattily attired Imperial Storm Troopers and the peerless fashion plate Darth Vader. The contrast is remarkable; from the very beginning, it is evident that we are dealing with a duel to the death between seasoned professionals and rank amateurs, between dapper sophisticates and third-rate clowns."
--From "A galaxy not so far away" by Glenn Kenny.
For the record, I love Star Wars, I just thought this was funny.
