Germany’s navy says there was "no deeper message” in the choice to blast the famed Imperial March — Darth Vader’s theme song in the “Star Wars” films — from one of its warships as it cruised down the River Thames through London.
“Haha remember that time we tried to conquer you? Don’t worry. Our Neonazis don’t have control of the government yet” is not “dark humor” from a warship in your territory.
The only real defense would be them not being called stormtroopers in the German translations, which I suppose is possible.
Star Wars is indeed a serious matter and not to be taken lightly, it is, in fact, fiction
And “Psycho Killer” is just a song. But if I see a guy wearing a hog’s face as a mask and brandishing a giant meat clever walking towards me while singing it, maybe I feel a little uncomfortable.

What does Reich mean?
