Theory Briefing
- Mon Mothma's line about hope being stronger than any fleet reads less like dialogue and more like a recruitment holovid script.
- The Empire's near-comedic incompetence throughout the series mirrors a classic propaganda tactic: deflating the enemy's aura of invincibility.
- Ezra Bridger's almost mythic heroism suggests he may be a composite symbol rather than a real figure — a founding myth engineered to inspire resistance.
