Because I don't really give a fuck about splitting hairs about whether it's genocide or gigadeath or something else, but looking at political parallels to the baddies in Star Wars is really interesting.

Example: A friend of mine pointed out that the Republic in the prequels can be easily turned into an analogue to the Confederacy, since slavery seems to be legal to the point where the Jedi refuse to "steal"/rescue Anakin and instead try to just...buy him. Like, it's not what happens on every planet, but the Republic's response to planets where it is common seems to be "Meh, it's their culture."
