The Department of Homeland Security used a Darth Vader-themed video to promote its immigration enforcement on Star Wars Day. This controversial social media effort drew sharp criticism from HBO host John Oliver, who ridiculed the video for glorifying a notorious cinematic villain while ignoring the moral implications of the agency's actions. USCIS’s response to the controversy was criticized as inadequate, evading deeper accountability by mentioning that Darth Vader was also Anakin Skywalker. Oliver also humorously suggested the agency could misinterpret other villains in popular culture.
If I may quote an insufferable man on a first bumble date, Have you ever seen Star Wars?. Because that's pretty famously the bad guy. Imagine how morally bankrupt you have to be to watch the most famous villain in cinematic history murdering a bunch of people, some of whom are literally begging for help, and think He is so us..
While DHS ignored most of our questions, when we asked about that Darth Vader video, they said . Not to spoil the plot, but as any Star Wars fan knows, Darth Vader is also Anakin Skywalker. I don't think DHS needs to regale the American public on the heroism of Skywalker. They know..
I'd honestly love to know their disingenuous takes on other movie villains. Actually, if you think about it, Thanos was the real hero of the Avengers movies, because as any Marvel fan knows, Thanos used to be a baby, and babies aren't evil.
