        Sure. Edit: the geonosians were genocided after the clone wars when they were used to start construction on the Death Star and genocided to hide it by the empire.

            I will never understand why the empire didn’t use captured b1 units as droid labor.

            Yes, they’re totally incompetent. But it’s either incompetence or intentional sabotage.

              Its because the best robot they could do in the 1980s was a guy in a gold suit or a wheelie bin.

            I get that, I was just adding context for people who haven’t seen Rebels. (if anyone hasn’t seen rebels… you should.)

      I imagine one is the sand-people tribe, that is arguably ok, and the other is the younglings murder that is a serious misuse of that word.

        well the younglings murder was a genocide of the Jedi people. The rampage on the sandpeople tribe was murderous revenge

          I don’t think that’s a genocide though.

          Mostly because in the Star Wars universe you can’t really wipe out either the Jedi or the Sith. Both try to wipe the other out but haven’t succeedes whatsoever because they are extremely basic religious/philosophical positions: “The force exists to do ‘good’ (whatever ‘good’ is)” vs. “The force exists to make me strong”. Jedi are Jedi and Sith are Sith only because of those values plus some beaurocracy.

          Compare that to human religions where they first construct an extremely elaborate setting with a shitton of incorporated fanfiction to argue why they and only they are right and all others are wrong. That’s so much more complex, you’d have to stop believing in a billion different things if you were to switch religions.

          Tl;dr: It’s not genocide if I were to kill all philosophy students at my university because in my point of view their views are evil.
