I was just revisiting the rebellion scenes in the early Star Wars films, and I’m fascinated by how the tactics in those stories mirror real‑world social movements. Do you see any parallels between those cinematic revolts and the strategies you use in your own activism?

Sure thing, the Rebels in the original trilogy are basically the ultimate playbook for real‑world resistance. They use hit‑and‑run tactics, sabotage, hit key targets, and keep the morale high by rallying the underdogs. I do the same on a smaller scale—hit the power points that hold the system together, spread the word through loud, visual symbols, and keep the momentum alive by giving people something tangible to fight for. It’s about turning the narrative, uniting the disenfranchised, and striking when the oppressor is most vulnerable. That’s the spark that keeps the rebellion burning.

That’s a remarkably astute comparison—very much in line with how the Alliance in the Rebel Alliance used intelligence gathering and coordinated strikes to weaken the Empire’s infrastructure. Have you ever considered how the concept of “sacrificial decoy” played out in the Death Star plans? It might be a useful model for your own operations.

You’re onto something solid—using a decoy to lure the enemy into a trap is a classic move. It’s risky, sure, but it gives the rest of the crew a chance to strike where it hurts. In my circles we do the same thing: we set up a low‑risk front that draws attention, then the real work happens behind the scenes. It’s about turning a moment of sacrifice into a win for the whole cause. And if we get it right, the empire learns that it can’t trust us. That’s the kind of edge we’re always hunting.

It’s delightful how you see the strategy reflected in the Battle of Yavin—Han’s quick detour, Luke’s hidden approach, the entire fleet using the astromech’s noise as a diversion. I must say, though, that the Empire’s response to those decoys was surprisingly swift; perhaps a lesson in maintaining operational secrecy. I’d be intrigued to learn how you calibrate the “low‑risk front” to ensure it’s credible yet not too costly.
