    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.
