Tangents: Classic Webcomic #178 Order 94

Star Wars Order 36
In the Star Wars universe, “Order 66” is a significant event that resulted in the betrayal and extermination of the Jedi Order by the clone troopers. However, “Order 36” is not a canonical part of Star Wars lore. It seems to be a playful reference or fan creation, possibly to imagine another fictional order within the Star Wars universe.

All I Want for Christmas is You and the Empire
The connection between “All I Want for Christmas is You” by Mariah Carey and the comparison to the Empire’s commercial Christmas madness is likely a humorous analogy. The Empire, as depicted in Star Wars, is known for its authoritarian rule, bureaucratic machinery, and relentless pursuit of power. Similarly, the commercialization of Christmas often focuses on materialism, consumerism, and the pressure to buy and give gifts.

By likening the commercial madness of Christmas to the actions of the Empire, the analogy emphasizes the overwhelming consumer culture and the potential loss of the true spirit of the holiday season. It serves as a light-hearted way of commenting on the excessive focus on material possessions and the saturation of holiday consumerism in popular culture.

While these connections may be perceived as amusing, it’s essential to remember that they are not official storylines or intended meanings within the Star Wars franchise or Mariah Carey’s music. They are interpretations or creative parallels made by fans to draw comparisons and add humor to the discussion.
