You may have seen it, a bumper sticker, a patch, even a tattoo with the words "The Empire did nothing wrong" slapped on it. Wait what?

From the innovative 'urban renewal' of Alderaan to Darth Vader's intense commitment to 'hands-on leadership,' we explore the laughable lengths some go to defend the Empire's, um, questionable tactics.

And in a Blaster Fire first, Liz joins Alex and Nick as the three dive into the twisted logic of thinking the galactic Empire wasn't actually evil.

Warning: This episode may cause the sudden realization that maybe, just maybe, the guys in white armor aren't the good guys.

Milk-sucking hermit Luke Skywalker, Deathstar-sized plot holes, cancer-causing humor and Porgs. The Last Jedi has pissed off a lot of people.  It is a radical subversion of George Lucas' vision and it is quite possibly the most divisive movie in the Star Wars universe.
