There\u2019s no doubt that Andor<\/a> is perhaps the closest thing to perfect in the Star Wars franchise. Of course, being close but not quite sometimes isn\u2019t enough for fans, and recently, a discussion sparked up on Reddit<\/a> about what still stands as one of the most hair-raising speeches ever uttered in the galaxy far, far away.<\/p>\n

For those that might not know, the incredible call to action from Fiona Shaw\u2019s Maarva Andor almost dropped one of the first F-bombs in Star Wars<\/a>. Rather than tell the people of Ferrix to \u201cFight the Empire,\u201d Shaw actually did a recording saying, \u201cFuck the Empire.\u201d It was this alternative take that the fan admitted that “If I had a dying wish, it would be to have Disney<\/a> restore this scene as it was originally spoken,\u201d with some fans taking sides on the matter.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not sure why some people are a bit hung up on this. ‘Fight the Empire’ works perfectly in my opinion. The other wording just doesn\u2019t make as much sense to me,\u201d wrote one fan. Another added, \u201c\u2018Fight the Empire\u2019 works better because it’s a call to action. It is specifically calling for resistance and rebellion. \u2018Fuck the Empire\u2019 is just the equivalent of saying \u2018The Empire sucks,\u2019 just in a more vulgar and satisfying way. But it’s not a call to action.\u201d<\/p>\n

Comparisons were made throughout the thread about why not dropping the F-bomb was the better choice, with the aforementioned outburst being a form of rage, as opposed to a demand for the locals to finally fight back. \u201c\u2018Fuck the Empire,\u2019 says there\u2019s nothing really we can do and we\u2019re just shouting into the wind,” explained one fan. “\u2018Fight the Empire\u2019 says take this brick made from my ashes and bash a pig in the head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thankfully, the omission of a four-letter word didn\u2019t wreck the scene too much and still stands as a highlight and a decision that can be overlooked. Kicking over B2EMO on the other hand? Well, that\u2019s just unforgivable.<\/p>\n
