OtterlyNoah has rebranded. So when you're talking about the plagiarist and the guy who got his artist to strike a fair use video, make sure to use the new name "NoahTheOtter" so he can't run.

Thank you @TeamYouTube for taking a look at the Kino Casino clip channel! Lots of people have been making noise about this because it was taken down for no reason. This story has blown up and the internet will be a better place when the channel is back up. 🙏 thank you!

Obviously the brilliance of the scene is "overhyped" if you discard more than half of it, as this overconfident person does. He's not a moron. He's doing some analysis. But, as is typical of far too many people on this app, the strength of his opinion is inversely correlated with his knowledge of the thing he describes. The Empire's plan on Ghorman is multi-layered. The first phase is to whip up the native population, particularly its younger and less moderate members, to encourage an armed attack. (It even facilitates the arming of the Ghorman Front.) Restraining ourselves just to the immediate sequence (and not the copious and careful buildup): Phase 1 has a strong chance of succeeding on its own. The protestors get increasingly agitated. They have already been fed stories of armed resistance, the Ghorman Front has been armed, the riot barriers are deliberately removed. The protestors are kettled by storm troopers, and Tie Fighters do a low fly by. The aim of phase 1 is to bait an "unprovoked" attack on the Imperial position, precisely so the Empire can sell its response to the galaxy as justified, not an unprovoked massacre. Phase 1 only fails because Lezine gets the entire crowd singing the national anthem, which unites them in peaceful opposition and brings things off the boil. It's at that point that the half-trained grunts are sent into the middle of the crowd, which is both provocative, and an easy target. Then you get the sniper, the false flag aspect, take his shot. The soldiers' response is - as the poster notes - justified from their POV, but they have (deliberately engineered) tunnel vision. They're as much pawns in this game as the Ghor are. Their justified response provokes a justified response from the (relatively few) armed members of the Ghorman Front, which in turn "justifies" the use of overwhelming force by the Empire, in which vastly more unarmed and peaceful protestors are gunned down than are members of the Ghorman Front. It is a massacre, and would have been a massacre even if the Ghorman Front had taken the first shot. But they didn't. The entire thing is orchestrated by the Empire, which could at almost any preceding point have put down the Ghorman Front quietly and without fuss. Hundreds of innocent people are killed, because the Imperial forces are allowed and encouraged to continue their retribution even after routing the protestors. A dozen or so resistance fighters (armed and incited by the Empire) are killed, and quickly. They had no chance, and their defeat does not stop the Empire's attack. And the Ghor lose their entire planet, strip mined out of existence, while the rest of the galaxy applauds the Empire for putting down the disgusting rebels. So not only does the scene do a lot even before the OP's analysis, it also contains everything he says it misses, and it takes it further than he thinks it does. It's one of the best-orchestrated sequences in modern media and it deserves at least as much praise as it's had. *This is all from memory but I'm pretty sure I have the events and their order correct.

The "brilliance" of this scene is overhyped garbage. With the usual suspects soyjacking over this scene, it just really hammered home for me that none of them get how violence or the rules of engagement works. If you put yourself in the shoes of the guys on the crowd control line, the simple reality here is that the rank and file Imperials did *nothing* wrong and were totally justified. What that officer knew: - He took fire during a volatile event - One of his guys got killed He then proceeded to order his men to open fire, firing in the direction he believed he was receiving fire from. Immediately on the first shots from his line, his men started taking fire from ununiformed, armed rebel agents *inside of the crowd*, killing more of his men. This led to a firefight where the Imperials were opening fire in all directions and were taking return fire that was causing them further casualties. At no point were the Imperials *not* in mortal danger. It really doesn't work to try and show some atrocity, but then immediately when the False Flag happens have the actual enemies you wanted to pin it on open fire from inside a crowd and turn it into a street fight. If you really want this scene to work, you have to have some stones as a writer and show the Imperials opening fire on a truly unarmed crowd then when they realize there isn't further fire coming from the crowd, have an order be issued to continue firing as an extrajudicial punishment on the crowd as a whole. It's not "cool", it won't be a battle, it'll be grim, but it'll be a lot better than this crap.
