He’s got the best K/D in the whole series

More.Than that.
ALEX GAO true
Deniz Metinoğlu T. Well, assuming you get 100 XP for every kill, it would be 200,000,000,000 XP.
He is now also level 33,524.
Names of the people he killed in his kill streak is still being shown until today
Rollinghypogrif240 there is no word in any human language to verbally describe such a godly killstreak.
Still getting medals though. Who knows how many serial killer there was on Alderaan, so he's getting a helluva lot of streak ending medals
Jazz Espinosa um near zero. Alderaan was a very peaceful planet.
imagine the score

No joke, this is probably the only guy in the galaxy that has more self loathing than darth vader...or at least he can relate
Rockington
That’s an understatement...
Steven Choza would be cool to see more reactions from other imperial/rebels towards this guy.
Rockington
Indeed.
I agree
This is beyond the self loathing that Vader felt.
"Stand by . . . Stand by . . ."
The last words spoken by an Imperial gunner who was simultaneously one of the galaxy's most infamous murderers, and one of its greatest heroes.
Imagine killing billions of peaceful civilians and being remembered as a hero
Mr F because he also saved billions.
@Federal Bureau of Investigation and?
@Federal Bureau of Investigation no
He also tried to save the rebel base by stalling, allowing a dangerous weapon that could kill even more people to be destroyed. The rebel base lives on because he stalled the blast. That’s why he is remembered.
Ten Graneet be like: “I’ve finally got control of the largest gun in the galaxy... but at what cost?”

That's what's amazing about star wars. There's practically a backstory on the guy who mopped the floors of the death star.
Imagine his Union struggles against the introduction of the little maintenance droids zooming around, taking his job.
*sees Luke pulling vader around*
"Hey! I just mopped that corridor!"
what about the untold story of toaster droid #5 from episode 4?
Well let's not forget the backstory of the death star mopper's son.. and how he and his father, realizing the imminent destruction of the death star, managed to save a few stormtroopers just before the station was destroyed

hahahaha
yea but it doesn't hold the same weight since it just seems like a cheap knockoff.
It was Knoxville, welcome to jackass
In his own way, Ten helped the Rebels infinitely more than had he defected.
Indeed. He knew they will hire the replacement who will have no qualms and remorse whatsoever, and they may also kill him to keep silent about Death Star. When Death Star was about to fire, he saw the hour of his revenge and retribution is at hand. Respectable,redeeming and heroic deed. Even though Graneet would not seen this way,he saved the galaxy from more planetary genocide
He kind of reminds me of Galen Erso in a way. Galen knew he couldn't leave or take his own life, otherwise Krennic would realize he no longer needed him and would find a replacement. So he deliberately put a design flaw into the Death Star's reactor, a flaw which Luke Skywalker would eventually exploit.
Imagine if the instant Alderaan blew up, Tarkin turned over and was like "You idiot, I said fire a warning shot across their nose, not UP it!"
Almost as tragic as the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise
Ive never heard of it
Have you ever heard the tragedy of Darth Tragedous the Wise?
Daniel Star no I haven't
Daniel Star lol
[DELETEDBYGOOGLE] basically blah blah blah snoke
I'm surprised he didn't question the regime when they told him the place he's going to be working at would be called the "Death Star".
... are we the baddies?
I'm pretty sure the battle station was nicknamed 'the Death Star' by the rebel alliance.
I’m pretty sure the empire referred to it as stardust as that was what the project was called
Super hsppy fun time place was the Empire's name for it.
Probably had a few working titles, yeah😄
He must have had a legendary killstreak
AdventureBuilder this is a very underappreciated comment that was beautiful

I like how he, suffering from what has he done, understands that if he leaves his post, it will be occupated with soneone else who will cause genocide, so he refuses to himself to leave.
A true hero.
Mental breakdown, he had
Ur me
He couldve sabotaged the equipment and leave but it wouldve been repaired and he wouldve been replaced.
Why did I read this with Yoda’s voice in my mind? 😅🤣
A "true hero", no. He murdered billions. The fact that he felt guilt means he had a small shred of good left in him, but there's no redeeming someone like that. And we should certainly not heroify him.
I always felt so bad for him in the book, he had so much going for him, a good career, friends and respect of his peers. Then he got what he wanted, to fire the biggest gun the galaxy.When it came time for him to destroy Yavin IV his death was a mercy. The book did an amazing job showing his mental state and grief he felt for killing billions of innocent people. I'll say it again "Death Star" is a must read.
Rakatan Lord is that book canon?
Franco Valdez I don't think so, when I got a copy of the book it was canon but that was 10 years ago. I'm pretty sure it's been demoted to legends now.
Rakatan Lord ooh, what a pity 😔 It's a good story
Franco Valdez whatever Disney says I still like to think of it as canon, it's too good to not be in my opinion.
Rakatan Lord yu fukn now it
"Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds"
AmberRun at least the nukes were only used once so far, well twice, but for a single end goal on a single group of people. Oppenheimer didn’t have to live and see his weapon destroy planets. Still a sad, dark, and harsh reality though...
@@svtxj9921 Nukes would have come around with or without Oppenheimer. It was too good an idea to remain a footnote in a physics textbook forever. And the more physics was understood the more obvious it would have become that such weapons can be built. Technology and scientific understanding by the 70's was so far advanced that we'd have made it then for sure. And so would the Russians. And without the terrible knowledge gained in their use in Hiroshima and Nagasaki we may have used them in a much bigger way later on. Who knows.

He lived as a soldier, believing he was a murderer, but he died a hero.
May the force be with you Tenn Graneet, the greatest unsung rebel in the galaxy.
I don't know which is more tragic. The fact this is no longer cannon or the fact the rebels would never know of the gunners stalling giving them the win.
Madison Atteberry How about Darth Plageious the Wise?
Same problem, different question. The fact the galaxy dosen't know of the story or the fact Plageious should have known better....unless Palpatine's betrayal was his intent to see if he could cheat death and he really didn't teach his apprentice 'everything he knew'....hum....
Clayton Carmine holy shit thanks for the laughs, I needed it after watching this gloomy video
Madison Atteberry when really was it cannon? He couldnt have been a gunner during the clone wars at least not any type of gunner like the photo showed as the republic was composed of clones not regular people. And this isn't fact but it would seem to me if darth vader had to pick between an ex clone or some random enlisted who likes big guns vader would most likely choose such an important job for an ex clone.
He could have been a gunner in the old cannon. There were regular people with clones serving.

Ten:kills a bunch of people, breaks down mentally.
Luke:kills a bunch of people, some of which were innocent, parties with living teddy bears.
It's all about the imagery and propaganda. When you learned about the Nazi's in school, were you asking yourself how many of the german soldiers in WW2 were forcibly drafted into service? Cos I sure wasn't
Parties with living teddy bears who have just roasted and eaten humans
(those empty stormtroopers helmets they play drum on ..They were not empty a few hours before..)
@@solwen yeah I already knew that
@@mattpeters1676 I did
None of them were innocent, they knew what they signed up for when they agreed to maintain and facilitate a planet-destroying super weapon, whereas the million civilians they murdered on Alderan did not deserve the fate they suffered. Are you telling me the Death Star wasn't the biggest military target in the galaxy??
"Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love."

The guy who fired Starkiller Base probably felt no remorse since they were far more radical than the Empire ever was.
I have it on good authority that the one who actually fired the laser was Jar Jar Binks.

@70 Series Tires who hurt you?
@70 Series Tires so, what kind of individual calls those individuals sad but then watches the video and goes scrolling through the comments section looking for happy people to mock?
Disney: let's make it non-canon!
I just love how the backstory for the guy who fired the Death Star is "I've dreamed of firing the biggest gun I can get my hands on." That's such a ridiculous backstory for someone, it's like somebody in the writers room heard that they're to write a story about the guy who fired the Death Star and had literally 10 seconds to come up with a backstory for him.
And it simultaneously belies a surprisingly sympathetic character who believed his own lies while being committing some of the worst atrocities possible, as well as the result of that on his psyche.
well it also tells us that the character was naive and had simple ambitions, ironic for his last role
“At 4 percent of its power, the super laser completely obliterated the droid control ship”.
Looks like Shaggy has a new rival...
name surname lmfao
name surname nah Shaggy doesn’t even need 0.02% of his power to do that.
It is unwise to mock Darth Shaggy...
Ukatrev profile pic checks out.
The Nethral Kin Shaggy can easily annihilate all life with a single thought in his head, no need to use any power at all!
He has the highest kill count in Star Wars
Jar Jar Binks (caused the clone wars)?
The person that destroyed The Hosnian System in TFA?
Jango Fett (clones count)
Try Kyp Durron and the Sun Crusher. Dude destroyed a star system with it.
+super jedi player I agree that Jango Fett (through his clones) and whoever is responsible for the firing of Starkiller Base's beam both have high kill counts, but the Clone Wars goes deeper than Jar Jar Binks.
"He [Jar Jar Binks] rose to prominence after the-now Senator Padmé Amidala was forced to go into hiding after a series of assassination attempts on Coruscant. At the request of Amidala, Representative Binks agreed to stand in for her in the Senate. In her absence, however, Binks was easily manipulated by more experienced politicians, and as they preyed on his innocence, they convinced him that the creation of a Grand Army of the Republic was a course of action that Amidala would have taken. In fact, the creation of an army was exactly what Amidala had been fighting against. Feeling that it was his duty to act in her stead, he suggested that the Senate give the-now Supreme Chancellor Palpatine the emergency powers required to create the Grand Army of the Republic. The motion passed, and soon afterwards, with the Battle of Geonosis, the Clone Wars began."
-Wookieepedia article on Jar Jar Binks: starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Jar_Jar_Binks#The_Separatist_Crisis.
This quote states that it was "more experienced politicians" who began the Clone Wars by manipulating Jar Jar Binks into thinking that Padmé Amidala would vote in FAVOR of "the creation of an army", so it was THEM who (through manipulating Jar Jar Binks into starting the Clone Wars) have the kill count caused by the Clone Wars.

Ellies's Dilemma, if you want to know a bit more about him, you can read the Star Wars Legends book Death Star.

Even by stalling from firing the weapon at Yavin, he indirectly caused the deaths of tens of thousands of Imperials by allowing Luke to destroy the Death Star. It was a lose/lose situation for him (though better overall, since the DS would've likely destroyed more planets had it succeeded).
Tens of thousands of Imperials that were fine with mass genocide and who laughed when Alderaan was destroyed. Nothing of importance was lost with DS destruction
@@GM-kp7yw did they laugh tho? did all the imperials laugh about the destruction of that planet in episode 4? don't recall all of them being fine with it either. they behaved like you would on a big fat weapon full of soldiers obeying the emperor. maybe don't be so quick to judge.

JediAcolyte22 thanks ill make sure to look at it
I can really appreciate how complicated his situation is, he killed billions but felt intense remorse immediately after, he was selfless enough to not push the job onto someone else and in the end he died saving billions of people.
He is truly a case of "can he be forgiven?" He felt remorse, and died stopping another atrocity himself, but his crimes are of unimaginable proportion.
Do you think he would have gone to Star War's equivalent of heaven? I personally hope so, he was a good person stuck with the responsibility of committing atrocious crimes, I wouldn't say I blame him.
I think his actions were entirely selfless, to the degree that he himself was adhering to the light side of the Force. From his PoV he was willing to sacrifice himself just to buy time. A few minutes, an hour, even seconds. He was willing to die to delay that thing from firing. He has no hope of forgiveness and no guarantee of redemption. Not even the barest guarantee of success or atonement.
If Anakin could become one with the force with such a sacrifice, so could this one man.
@@dustinjones7458 Beautifully said
He put himself in that situation out of nativity but he still technically did. You cannot tell me you "dream about firing the biggest gun in the galaxy" and then expect not for it to be pointed at someone. Even though the empire had quite brainwashing pieces of propaganda and he couldn't have predicted that Alderaan would've been the target. So he basically deserves some sort of purgatory, to atone for what he did for a while and then yeah, since in the end he was of good enough heart to stall, he deserves a heaven of some sort
So that guy got 2 billion kills in one life on one match? Atleast it won't take 40 hours for him to unlock darth Vader

Is it bad that i read this in the emperors voice
I feel that from moral reasons the Death Star firing should have worked like this seven activation buttons and seven people only one of the buttons would work and each time it would be random which one worked that way no one truly knew if they were the the person who activated it
He probably feels like Robert J Oppenheimer.

@@DorfVG I am Spongebob, Destroyer of EVIIIL!
No, that dubious honor would fall on Galen Erso, the inventor and designer of the Death Star. Ten would be Paul Warfield Tibbets Jr. in this case.
I heard Oppenheimer was more like Tarkin.
I'd say more like the person that pressed the bomb release button for the Enola Gay, when the first nuke was dropped on Japan.
What's next, "The mouse droid that went rogue"?
Yes please
And that mouse droid turned into yoda
Welcome...TO STAR WARS LEGENDS!!!!!
Nich White yes
lmfao
He must have felt like the pilot who dropped the first nuclear bomb.
Josh Dodge. No. The totalitarian Japanese regime started an aggressive war in the Pacific. They eventually killed about 20 million people. Their Ketsu-Go plan would have had them fight on to the death. They reaped the whirlwind.
Josh Dodge I doubt it.
During WW2 very few Americans viewed Japanese as humas.
There was a poll back then where more than a half of Americans stated that they wanted all Japanese to be exterminated.
Even now when you watch any clip of Japanese military during or before WW2 almost all american comments say that "they got what they deserved"
That's precisely what I'm talking about.
Adolf Hitler i wouldn't say they deserved it, but it was the only way. To say that they deserved it is a bit fucked up, their training was practically just brainwashing. Full on brainwash, probably from birth. They were always told you do anything to protect the emperor, the emperor and your honor is EVERYTHING. You do anything and everything to preserve it.
Yes they were fanatical as all hell don't get me wrong. Its actually quite fascinating, but the nuclear option was the only viable option. It reduced out death toll but increased theirs at an unfathomable rate, and the aftershock certainly didn't help. The nuclear fallout? Some id that shit I don't think anyone deserves, especially kids born after all of it. Those mutations are just awful
"Hell no, no second thoughts. If you give me the same circumstances, hell yeah, I'd do it again." - Paul Tibbets, the pilot who flew the Enola Gay over Hiroshima.
I had to rewatch this... Dude blew up alderan in like 30 seconds. When the rebel base was in range, all the people who did the firing took their sweet time.

Well maybe.. But still you have darth sidious and Darth nihilus who have destroyed multiple planets just by force drain .. Of course nihilus never existed during the empires days but sidious did.. Therefor claiming him the highest k/d in the empire with this guy being second place
Yeah, you're right. Not so bad for a non-force user though.
Dafty Jones well ya look at it like this..
He's killed more people on actual film than any star wars character.. So yea he's very bad ass .. Second to only nihilus and sidious
Dafty Jones best accuracy too
N A N I?
0:38 dude that guy has the highest killstreak in the whole universe
From the legends book ‘Death Star’. A highly underrated book in my opinion, it gives an insight into imperial life and isn’t too wacky like other legends stories

Darth Infernus no.
Mic Clank he will be remembered!

An unsung hero, he realised the error of his ways and in a few precious seconds saved the entire rebellion
The Death Star may have been a machine built for the sole purpose of mass destruction, death, and terror, but it still had human hands at the controls.
It may only be “Legends” for now, but Tenn Graneet’s story always resonated with me. I think we all can’t help but wonder how we would fare if we were ever in a position and situation like he was.
Bleeding Eye Watcher I mean, it has some good backing to it. Even the most brain washed person, if they suddenly murder billions of people, they would probably go insane.
Honestly, gunners of artillery pieces don't see their targets. Sure they might know the city they are firing into, but streets, people. Its all just data. It usually isn't until they roll in afterward and see the destruction they caused that it starts hitting them.
Killing a person is impactful.
Killing a billion is pushing a button.
Its easy to forget what the button does. Tenn managed to not forget.
Some of the bomber pilots who nuked Japan could tell you.
How would it feel like to have all that power?
Pietree The ability to kill billions, if not trillions, at flick of a single switch?
Probably like you're gonna get sent straight to the 9th circle of hell for treachery against sentient life.
Like an explosion between your legs times Infinity
Pietree well if it's not you then it'll be someone else,I think he was a brave man to put the burden on himself rather than anyone else
It's interesting to think on since you wouldn't see or even be able to comprehend how many lives you're snuffing out. At best you would see an entire planet explode, at worst you don't even see that, just a confirmation signal from your control room. Instead you basically would have to futilely try to mentally grasp the sheer magnitude of such an act and then accept that you are ultimately responsible. Imagine for instance how a man who flips a switch that launches an ICBM nuke at a large city would handle what they've just done.
The clocks ticking,
I just count the hours.
If Tarkin was like u may fire when ready he could of been like ok give me 5 hours to think
haha
It's kinda cool how deep everything goes in star wars, like you see this one guy once in the movies but then understand the entire background of his life, and how it shaped him for his actions.
I bet the star wars EU has a story for the janitor who cleans the emperors office room on the deathstar II.
Tol ntaork? he accidentally removed the railings on the death star, while cleaning which is the reason palpatine fell. before joining the empire he was working in a cantina on Coruscant. he joined the empire when he was 30 after the battle of hoth. he was a stormtrooper that wasn't too great at fighting, and almost got captured by the rebels, but darth vader saved him. he lost one of his arms, and the new one he got wasn't good enough to get him back into combat, so the emperor assigned him to be an engineer and cleaner on the second death star above endor. during the battle of endor, he was in a shuttle helping troops to get to the ground and fight. as the second death star exploded, he was about to take off to get to the surface. as he heard Palpatine screaming while falling he tried to come back and help, but he died as the second death star was destroyed.
(if you didn't realise, i made up this story)
super jedi player THAT NEEDS TO BE CANNON
nothing in canon contradicts it, i don't see why not.
i have a few older stories (they are more silly than this one, and they aren't specifically made for this comment. the one about the death star cleaner is a freshly made, new story, while these ones are a bit older) (this is just one of them, there are a lot more, one about snoke, one about pleagious, i think there are 7 or 8 in total)
Dianoga One- a Star Wars story
Tha dianoga was a creature living on dagobah, but there weren't any trash compactors there, so that meant no people being thrown down them for it to see and eat, so it found a crashed sepratist starship that was taken by the republic and repaired, and it hid inside of it, while they went to Utapau, but the dianoga didn't like utapau, but it liked kyber crystals, but there weren't many of them there, so it was sad, but then it saw a huge crystal being taken, so it hid on it, eventually it got above geonosis, where they were making the death star, and was placed near the superlaser, but the crystals nearly burned it's legs, so it jumped in the trash compactor, and the empire put a roof above it, but the dianoga got sad, since it couldn't see the crystals, but it was loud when the laser charged up, and fired, so it got really angry about it, so it pressed the "open exhaust port " button hen it was sneaking around the station, a few minutes before the death star was in firing range, but then it was thrown back into the trash compactor, but found an escape pod, and escaped, seeing the death star explode behind it.
You're describing Finn from episode 7..

Ten in the lore: no no WHAT HAVE I DONE???
What if that pilot in return of the jedi missed the bridge of that super star destroyer?
TheRevyFilms The Super Star destroyer wouldn't crash into the second Death Star
Commander Zavala have you heard that objects big enough can create their own gravity
Commander Zavala Combo of engine and bridge damage
That would be impossible, even if he was in a trajectory that would make him miss, the Executor would just move in his way to correct that. Imperials are funny like that.
The force of the explosion may have pushed it downwards

This guy is the prof that good individuals can exist within an objectively evil empire. He may have been the executioner of alderan, but in the end he did the right thing.
masterblasterT47 the Rebels weren’t the good guys? I my opinion the empire was a good thing
Admiral Ackbar supports genocide, you heard it here first folks!
A tyrannical regime that quashed free speech/expression/worship, was massively xenophobic and destroyed entire planets? Yeah. It was definitely a good thing!!!
*sarcasm intensifies*
masterblasterT47 The Empire did nothing wrong
I wonder how many other inncocent victims that terrorist Luke murdered on the Death Star.
This has got to be my favorite Legends story ever. Such detail and depth on a really obscure character
Star wars' equivalent to "be careful for what you wish for"
Omg... To be forced to commit such atrocious acts... He must hate himself...
"Atrocious acts" lmao!
I like the new Vegas image awesome game
They cover that in the book. It's an excellent read and I would highly suggest it.

And it absolutely broke him. If ever there were a way to at least try to make amends, stalling the shot at Yavin and going down with the Death Star has gotta be it.

Kronk: Uh stand by
I felt nothing for the Imperials, until I started to understand that inside every mask is a human being with feelings just like my own, should’ve realized it sooner, most imperial soldiers aren’t innocent but they sure as hell ain’t evil.
You just made me rethink my whole empire mindset
Most imperials that joined the Empire didn’t even know what was really happening, for example, most storm troopers didn’t even know their emperor was a Sith Lord, most imperials and citizens were also brainwashed with propaganda explaining things such as how the Jedi were mass killers or how the rebellion would blow up an orphanage etc.
And some are payed to be in the background for 1k a day
Yes. No different to the German armed services during WW2.
The most evil were the top politicians, next the top military officers (field marshals and grand admirals). The least evil were the ordinary soldiers and non-commissioned officers (corporals and sergeants).
That's why I loved playing an Imperial Agent in SWTOR.
You get to play as an imperial who's actually a person, working alongside other actual people while dodging Sith power struggles.
Except for the occasional Sith like the one on Tatooine who was actually super chill and trying to help.
Top 10 secretly OP anime characters
How original
Suzaku is on top
Sean Da Best lmao
This man became Death and the TRUE Destroyer of Worlds
He was an unsung hero shows not everyone in the Death Star was evil
Of course the novel where he came from the Death Star shows a number of such people
At the end of the day the Empire itself wasn’t evil
The Empire like all nations is made up of people, most people that formed the Rebel Alliance were born Imperial and some were in the military before defecting
What ruined the Empire was those that were in command like the Emperor, Vader, Tarkin and warlords and military leaders that were corrupt and brutal that got their high positions by riding on Palpatine’s coattails
Tenn was an example of a man Witt a conscience and sadly was the unspoken hero of a New Hope
Christopher Sanchez Very well put! I truly wish the Imperial and Rebellion hardcore fans realise this and stop going at each others' throats.
that's the common misconception about the empire,every star wars movie except rogue one sees the rebels as these glorius indestructible paragons of justice,while the empire gets shafted to super evil bad guys by default,I'm glad now they're giving attention to the empire and the people within (star wars bf2 story hype)
zzurge 117 very true they are starting to show there’s good and bad people at both sides of the factions making them more realistic
Christopher Sanchez+ Sheep are sheep matter how you twist it.

I guess this must have been how the guy who dropped the A-bomb over Hiroshima must have felt.
More than likely
barbiquearea I’ve heard around that (at least the pilot of the aircraft, not sure about the person who dropped the actual explosives) said he felt no remorse for his actions and never thought anything of it.
@@AMileFromTheMoon Well I can also see that
IrkenExile Because we have to remember the context. If someone killed many thousands of your people, would you feel remorse for them after killing them?
No, many pilots on such missions are indoctrinated into thinking nothing other than they’re doing good
These are the things that no one pays attention to, people say not to look at the minor details, but to me...they matter....and this is....is far more a hero then any other Jedi
Not a hero so much as "not as much a jerk as he could have been" or "Villain who kind of made up for his atrocities by dying to prevent more", in my opinion, but I understand the sentiment.
Funny actually, how this guy can be seen as a mass murderer, but Luke Skywalker destroying the death star, killing everyone on board is not.
people who think HE is the mass murderer have no understand of that word. im sorry, but i really doubt anyone inside the base would be angry at him. on the contrary, from what i saw in the movies, unless you are talking about really low ranked officers, and very few stormtroopers. the destruction of alderaan was seen as one of the best things to happen.
but hey, they want to make a story about atrocities and people blaming someone for it. so the story demands that, even if that makes no sense when we actually look at the empire we see in the movies.
No0bieNo0b that explanation goes out the window when you realize that was an act of War. The empire was actively attacking the rebel Fleet on the field of battle. Alderaan was an unarmed planet that was not hostile at the time. The two are not the same thing unless you believe killing someone who is trying to kill you makes you a murderer
No0bieNo0b to be fair the Empire kind of used it on one of the rebellions planets, so in my eyes the rebellion had every right to destroy it, it would be a different story if the rebels had destroyed it without the empire firing
Tommy Huff Funnily enough, that's actually what happened in the original assembly cut of the film, before the famous editing job which saved the movie.
Oh wait, you meant Alderaan. Okay, Alderaan always got blown up. They weren't always going to be threatening Yavin IV, is what I meant. Granted, it would still have been justified (the Empire had a planet-killing WMD they showed they were willing to use, unprovoked, on civilian populations), but it doesn't feel as heroic.
They definitely need to make a movie about this! From the clone wars to the Battle of Yavin.
Tenn Graneet is simultaneously one of the worst mass murderers in the history of the Star Wars Galaxy, while also being among its greatest heroes.
