Yeah, It just kinda bugs me that people just toss aside critical thinking like this. Mostly the star wars example bugs me as The empire in the first 3 movies was based of the 3rd reich and very clearly the bad guys, but then when disney took over and removed any story from cannon after the 3rd movie (that covers making a new republic). Now you have this weird situation where canonically the empire was a functional government (that is evil) that is overthrown by the rebels that for some reason don’t become the next government but instead the whole galaxy is now just a massive post apocalyptic hellscape with slaves and worse and somehow the emperor is back leading a crap version of the empire (but with out actually governing anything).
