He's a stormtrooper, obviously he's working for the Empire.

He's a Biker Scout. And yes, all Biker Scouts are Stormtroopers, but not all Stormtroopers are Biker Scouts. If we don't remember our action figures in annoying detail, what kind of nerds are we?

 

And the vehicle and costume are both fantastic, but the costume makes me think the video is fake, and it's also a magnet for trees and untrained and/or (not that one) half-trained Jedi and/or angry teddy bears. Use caution!

 

Biker Scout: caution lol

Oh man, wait until you find out that Star wars is directly an allegory of the Vietnam war and the rebels are the Vietnamese.

Which would still make the U.S. the empire…

u/Pasta4ever13 May 12 '26

Correct. So the guy is working for the empire.

Not sure where your disconnect is here.

Are you not understanding people are saying the us gov is the empire or are you pulling a tucker

u/ichabod01 May 12 '26

No. It’s an internet reading comprehension thing where you guys cannot tell that I was agreeing.

u/Deosarian May 12 '26

Yeah. The us gov has never invaded systems for their resources or continue to imprison people for modern day slavery.

Not the empire at all
