I liked Obi-Wan because I liked seeing Obi-Wan hit Vader with a lightsaber and Corran Horn being semi-canonized
Everything else is irrelevant.

Some people say all art is subjective
They are wrong, like you!
It’s not like they’re famously listed in one of the most read sections of the most published book of all time, lmao.
You can just say “I’m an intellectually lazy moron who started my nonsense with aggression and is now throwing a hissy fit because I can’t Google the text of Exodus.”
Yeah. It’s partly why I don’t care if those get posted!
Just insist on liturgical accuracy.
Have you considered that maybe I know something you don’t?
Like, for example, the direct translations of the original texts.
Even what’s actually listed on Exodus as the Commandments.
Impossible, I’m sure.

They will be greeted as liberators, solving the problems we made

Go on a goddamn walk Melvin!
The actual Commandments or the deliberate mistranslations?
Because the original flavor is very clearly a list of rules made to enable theocratic control and create a religious apartheid.
Disagree, because it will forever haunt me with the dream of MiBxJump Street

Red Rising isn’t hard sci-fi, but it is more notably sci-fi as a series after the first novel and the weird little obvious Hunger Games sequence ends.
The combat-oriented Golds are also an obvious ripoff of 40k Space Marines and the author absolutely betrays the overall message in the third book but that’s not related to the question, I just hate that he did it.
There can be peasants and feudal social classes in sci-fi. Sci-fi explores how society will react to future events and technology, but you could absolutely have a, for example, post apocalypse sci-fi novel about knights fighting over fiefdoms with swords in the ruins of Earth.
One of the reasons Star Wars gets criticised for not being sci-fi is that the science just doesn’t matter to the story.
You could have told the exact same story with samurai/warrior monks, horses, and wooden sailing ships, so the science is an aesthetic, not a plot element.
Like, they have a literal slave race of androids, fusion, FTL, everything, and it just doesn’t fucking matter. There isn’t a robot uprising. Everyone’s poor for no discernable reason, despite AI being a thing and the society effectively having unlimited energy, etc etc etc.
Red Rising might have had their weird little Youth Death Tournament but there was a point to the society doing that, to create a militarised group of the next generation of the ruling class.
Why is there poverty in Red Rising? Because they’re eugenics powered space fascists and it’s a control mechanism.
Why is there poverty in Star Wars? Because Lucas apparently never considered it should be anything else.

So are yours, but we don’t say anything
You absolute fools. This is proof they had time travel!
Me too!
My college roommate hard carried me.
