Different. The Michigan governor is demanding that a pipeline that runs from there into Canada be shut off. It supplies Ontario and Quebec with 50% of their gas.
''In terms of evil, one of the original concepts was how does a democracy turn itself into a dictatorship,'' Lucas told a news conference at Cannes, where his final episode had its world premiere.
''The parallels between what we did in Vietnam and what we're doing in Iraq now are unbelievable.
''On the personal level it was how does a good person turn into a bad person, and part of the observation of that is that most bad people think they are good people, they are doing it for the right reasons,'' he added.
The difference is that people now argue "but we have to suspend civil liberties because there's a deadly virus that could kill me/my mom/dad/uncle/aunt/granma/granpa/etc." Humans overwhelmingly value safety over liberty. So appealing to civil liberties is not going to work as an argument for the people who agree with lockdowns. In fact they mockingly say "muh liberty" "muh freedumbs" on reddit.

It's amazing how much I've thought about the prequel trilogy throughout all of this. I guess George Lucas knew what he was talking about.
