Note the choice of words in this article, the author deliberately compared the AdBlock open source community to the Star Wars galactic empire whereas the analogy would place them better compared with the rebellion. I get they wanted to use the "strikes back" punch line but that's still a poor comparison, unless they subtly wanted to come out as pro-facebook.
