We need to remove all forms of Nazism from our beloved comic conventions. It's painful to go and see people cosplaying as the embodiment of evil and hatred. We've already gotten rid of Red Skull, a Nazi leader in comic books. Now we must rid the bigotry and racism of Star Wars. Being of Jewish heritage, i feel like i"m alone in seeing how messed up all these comparisons are between Nazis and the "Empire". Here i've listed all the things that are the same between the two;

-The Empire's objective was to maintain total control and unify the entirety of the galaxy under one controlling power, similar to how the Nazi party longed for total control of Europe.

-There seems to be some form of Master Race ideology going on around the empire, I don't know too much about it and I think I got the idea from a thread on the subreddit, but there seems to be an extreme lack of non-humans (jews) in the empire, where you only see them as mercenaries in one of the scenes.

-They don't seem to be afraid to commit genocide, as seen with the destruction of Alderaan, which is comparable to the holocaust. Not to even go into the books, where it goes into detail of the leaders slaughtering innocents and feeling good about it.

-The main footsoldiers wear a monotone uniform which actually make them look menacing.

-They sport their symbol everywhere, but of course this would be typical of any faction / country during annexation.

-They have a very highly regarded force of air (space) fighters of which the craft make a distinct and terrifying sound (The Tie fighter scream vs the scream the Luftwaffe craft made when dive bombing)

-The officers depict undeniable loyalty to the ruler and even the uniforms are somewhat similar.

-Both factions are led by an old Lunatic

I've been personally attacked by the Nazis who love this stuff, and as a small Jewish girl I can't defend myself physically.. We can not empower them anymore. Please sign this petition and help put an end to mainstream Nazi acceptance in comics.
