Wil Wheaton on Star Wars and real republics:
I realized that the Republic — our Republic — is worth fighting for, and even though it feels like nothing matters at all right now, everything is terrible, and the forces of evil are going to get away with it because the so-called “leaders” in Congress put their party and their ambitions ahead of their patriotism — maybe because of that — it may soon be time to get off of Tatooine, and join the Rebel Alliance.http://wilwheaton.net/2016/12/help-me-obi-wan-kenobi-youre-my-only-hope/May the Force be with us.
