I used to think the Star Wars prequels were the worst. And then the Star Wars sequels happened.

Now I don't really know how to talk about the prequels anymore

because they seem so innocent and pleasant and fun.

Now, whatever the case, the one guy who was definitely having a hoot

the whole time in the prequels, really all of them was Ian McDermott?

Am I saying that right?

He's a guy who played The Emperor.

Well, we didn't. He's the Emperor and then he's like The Emperor because he has these two different roles and is surprise he's the bad guy all along

and he's always yelling about stuff and going crazy and when he's doing political

things he famously says I think it's in episode one, I will make it legal.

And I think what he means by that is, like, I am the law,

I can do whatever I want, and because I have the power to make things legal,

if legal is what you really need to feel good about the crazy things I'm going to do

with my creepy monster face and my lightning hands. Cool yeah I mean obviously I'm

going to do things that are completely evil here but if legal is what matters, yeah, I got that for you.

Here, let's move some paperwork around or whatever and we'll bribe a couple of people and we'll have a couple

votes and we'll call it legal.

There, but stop me if you've heard this one before, but it turns out that

morality and legality are not actually the same thing. The one doesn't make the other

and the other doesn't make the one. Morality is this whole other better thing and

legality sometimes just happens to correspond to morality. Then a whole lot of

other times it happens to correspond with as you know regardless of political
