      We need a “…Valkyries”, that’s been arranged to sound like 5th grade band. Like a Wagner Shreds video. That would be perfect for this entire regime.

      To be fair, Star Wars is a dystopia. Authoritarian Empire rules, with troops willing to vaporize entire planets to quell ragtag bands of protestors who eventually go military in their operations. There’s your organized antifa, the rebels.

      It’s easy to parallel it because it’s an established archetype in life and lore. Authoritarian regime vs underdog rebels.

      But with magic.

        Parallel is a bit too weak a word. George Lucas has said that Star Wars is an allegory for Vietnam and the Empire is based on the US.

      It sounds cool, but if you don’t know it’s already associated with an evil authoritarian empire. A second one can’t really do more damage. You can still like the song.

        I mean some Wagner is already associated with the nazis lol

        Edit I read your comment half asleep and did not understand. I guess I’d rather just have something goofy or musical shitty otherwise I mean having an intimidating piece of music seems like more of a rallying anthem than otherwise. I’m with the entrance of the gladiators option.
