Is the destruction of Death Star II ethical because of free-contract workers?!
Question: Is it possible?!
Answers: Is it possible?!
what!????/
that issue was indeed brought to intergalactic court wherein the families of these workers sued the rebel alliance over the deaths of these independent sub-contractors...
an out-of-court settlement was reached for an undisclosed amount of money...aslo, part of the settlement stated that neither side woulkd discuss terms of the settlement on 'the larry king show'...
Well, there's nothing in Return of the Jedi to indicate if the Death Star's labor force was contracted or not.
At any rate, there's really no ethical use for a weapon that destroys entire planets. Seriously, can you ever find a planet that has only bad people on it? Again, there is no indication in the film that the Death Star has a secondary, beneficial puspose: like say low cost housing for the Empire's needy. No, the Death Star is pretty much inherently evil just by design.
That being the case, the Rebels were well justified in using whatever means to destroy it. And if there had been contracted workers aboard at the time, their motive for being there is dubious. They should have thought twice about signing a contract to build a weapon that kills billions of people at a time.
well in episode 2 they show you who the workers are, they're the bug people from genonis (Sp?) so not that many people would care if they were bugs
