Clerks:
Randal Graves: Which did you like better? "Jedi" or "The Empire Strikes Back"?
Dante Hicks: "Empire".
Randal Graves: Blasphemy!
Dante Hicks: "Empire" had the better ending. I mean, Luke gets his hand cut off, finds out Vader's his father, Han gets frozen and taken away by Boba Fett. It ends on such a down note. I mean, that's what life is, a series of down endings. All "Jedi" had was a bunch of Muppets.
Randal: There's something else going on in Jedi. I never noticed it until today. They built another Death Star, right. Now the other one was completed and fully operational before the rebels destroyed it. Now, the second time around it wasn't even done being built yet. It was still under construction.
Dante: So?
Randal: So, a construction job of that magnitude would require a hell of a lot more manpower than the Imperial army had to offer. I'll bet they brought independent contractors in on that sort of thing. Plumbers, aluminium siders, roofers...
All those innocent contractors brought in to do the job were killed. Casualties of a war they had nothing to do with. All right, look, you're a roofer, some juicy government contract comes your way. You've got a wife and kids, the two storey in suburbia. This is a government contract which means all sorts of benefits. Along come these left-wing militants and blast everything within a three-mile radius with their lasers. You didn't ask for that. You had no personal politics. You're just trying to scrape out a living.
