    Hum… That assumes people weren’t forced at gunpoint to be there. That’s a pretty unlikely assumption for such kind of place.

    (But Phineas and Ferb rescued them all, so it’s good.)

      Fair, but had they completed their contracts under duress, who’s to say they wouldn’t be executed anyway? Those people were dead from the word go.

        Oh, sure, there’s no need to defend the morality of destroying the fucking Death Star. But it’s the kind of thing that would cause a lot of suffering by itself.

      There’s very little morality to be found in wars, even Star Wars.

      What we need is a Millenium crossover. Time travelers show up and get all the innocents off the Death Star right before the torpedoes drop. Problem solved!

      I remember reading in an expanded universe comic of some kind that storm troopers are actually paid a fair bit above the galactic average, and that the first order is actually the ones who would hold you at gunpoint.
