Brb, re-watching Star Wars for the contemporary memeableness.
I like the Clone Wars series depicting the banks and corporations having near complete control of the senate. Of course the secret Sith helped that, so maybe a little secret society-ness, but still. Some of the primary complaints of the CIS was that the senate was controlled by the rich and rife with corruption. Not that the CIS was much better, but still.
The Clone Wars episode where we see the CIS senate is one of my favorite bits of all of Star Wars
aww I was expecting it to be all battle droids
Come for the neat politics bits in a children's show. Stay for the cute little guys.
