There is something brilliant about using the imagery of the Star Wars franchise to illustrate the concept that war has a very human impact. In addition to the mutilated bodies at the top of the page and the friendly fire incident at the bottom (complete with incompetent lieutenant who gets a promotion as a result), the next page features stormtroopers raping villagers that look like Yoda. Not necessarily the most subtle anti-war statement I’ve ever seen, but very effective.
