So she's saying she dislikes people who vouch for, what she essentially sees as, the pro-slavery aspect of the mythos. She really dislikes those people.
That's like decrying people who like violent movies or car crashing video-games. Regardless of their real-word origins, these concepts are being displayed fictionally, a point she stresses in that diatribe. Like our enthusiasm for Jack Gleeson dying on screen is disturbing because it "shows" that we approve of the violent death of children.
What a messed up woman.

So I caught the tail-end of Revenge of the Sith on Spike the other day, and it occurred to me that uh... well apparently hyperspace travel in Star Wars is arguably one of the most efficient forms of travel in sci-fi/fantasy.Obi-Wan and Anakin are dueling, the camera cuts away to Sideous immediately after his duel with Yoda telling his aides to prep his shuttle for departure; he mentions that he senses Anakin is in danger. Obi-Wan whoops dat ass, leaves Anakin to die in the lava, takes Padme' and splits. Sideous arrives shortly thereafter and brings Anakin back to Coruscant.
That's all well and good, but. Well, is a core-world, and Mustafar is in the outer-rim. Coruscant. Assuming Anakin didn't lay there in a puddle of lava for days, Sideous' shuttle somehow managed to transport him essentially three-quarters of the way across the entire Galaxy in a matter of hours, perhaps in even less time than that.
wtf? Is this ever covered in the novelization? The only thing I can think of is that perhaps Yoda and Palpatine's duel took place days before Obi-Wan and Anakin's did. But no indication of that is ever given, and as well one would think that if Palpatine sensed Anakin's impending peril in advance, he would have warned him. Instantaneous communication is a thing in Star Wars.
So did Lucas just **** up/not give a shit about galactic geography, or is hyperspace travel really that badass? If the latter, the only sci-fi transportation that tops it really is teleportation and other forms of instantaneous travel.
Yawn.
Also prove the timeframe ******.
IT'S BEGINNING.
Priest: At this time, I’ll ask you, Nephthys, and you, DarthAnt66, to face each other & take each other’s hands.
*we take eachothers hands*
Priest: DarthAnt66, will you take Nephthys to be your husband, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish his friendship and love him today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor him, laugh with him and cry with him? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?
DarthAnt66: I do.
Priest: Nephthys, will you take DarthAnt66 to be your wife, your partner in life and your one true love? Will you cherish her friendship and love her today, tomorrow and forever? Will you trust and honor her, laugh with her and cry with her? Will you be faithful through good times and bad, in sickness and in health as long as you both shall live?
*waiting for Neph's answer*
