    Luke wanted to go to the imperial academy, Leia was a senator, and if I remember correctly, in legends canon (the only correct canon)Han actually was in the imperial academy for a while.

    Everything after Disney buyout is fan fiction at best

      In case of Luke it’s understandable since it was about the only way to get out of that hellhole and beside he knew shit at the point (you can notice that he took what Obi Wan told him not very seriously and only seeing the corpses of his uncle and aunt he believed the Empire is shit). Also Owen tried to dissuade him all the time, and he couldn’t really tell him the reason why so he did opposite by coming out as an old grumpy fart - the fact he really was an old grumpy fart even when he was young didn’t helped too.

      Leia was an Alderaniaan princes, that means she was raised in the turboliberalism, the fact she was later one of the most sensible people in SW speak volumes how much she did to overcome it.

      Han was iirc heir of stupidly big fortune on Corellia which he dumped and never looked back because he wanted adventures. For comparison, that fortune and power he dumped was so huge that by mere virtue of belonging to the clan his stupid cousin Thrackan rose to galactic prominence even despite numerous fuckups, real Louis Bonaparte hours.

      Also not everything post Disney is fan fiction, Saw Gerrera was the most canon rebel possible.

      such logical, mature take, related to real life timeline story

    Leia was a senator, so she very much tried the inside reform route until the literal last possible moment when the entire Senate was disbanded. That’s what led to her capture then, I believe:-).

    Correction: they don’t need to “join” the Empire. They mostly lived on worlds the Empire already annexed, controlled or owned. They are in the Empire. Luke worked as a farmer on an Empire world. Han was a criminal because of the Empire’s laws. Leia was part of a former ruling base of the government the Empire became.

    “All right fellow rebels… now that we’ve all infiltrated the Empire by joining as Storm Troopers, it’s time to enact our plan.”

    “Aim to miss, sir?”

    “You’re goddamn right.”

      That’s less of a peaceful reform and more of a war crime.

        It’s a long time ago, in a galaxy far away. Geneva conventions and the laws of war didn’t exist at the time.
