The Space Force is unsure of who the good guys are in ‘Star Wars’

You mean it's all based on a movie?

It is entirely possible that the Space Force, America’s freshman military service, has completely misread the meaning of the Star Wars trilogy and come to the conclusion that the Intergalactic Empire was actually a shining city on a hill.

Case in point: Maj. Gen. DeAnna Burt was recently sworn in to the Space Force in a ceremony attended by cosplayers who were dressed as Imperial Stormtroopers, an Imperial Guard, Boba Fett, and Darth Vader, according to pictures of the May 7 event at Vandenberg Air Force Base in California.

None of the aforementioned Star Wars characters can be described as “good guys,” with the possible exception of Darth Vader, whose commitment to increasing lethality is legendary. (In the end, he too was a casualty of the Empire’s failed counterinsurgency strategy.)

The inclusion of Imperial representatives is all the more anachronous considering how quickly the Tennessee Air National Guard moved to punish all involved in a 2018 re-enlistment ceremony that involved a dinosaur sock puppet. But rank hath its privileges.

Instead they should have had characters from Spaceballs!
