When you think about it, Matrix killed lots of innocent people.


All those soldiers.

I'm positive not all soldiers were evil. Lots of them were there to serve their country not knowing what kind of people Arius and Bennett are.

I thought he shot to wound most of those soldiers at the end

Innocent of what?
Nazis were taking orders to serve their country not knowing what kind of people Hitler and company were.
You get in that line of work, you are fair game for any of your leader's enemies.

They were mercenaries

on par with the second Death Star (which had builders etc, not just Imperial employees)

altho you could argue, that you take the job with a known contracter, you know what you're getting into

Fair enough.

Exactly right

Considering what we know about the Empire in the Star Wars universe, there could have been a lot of workers that were coerced or even outright forced into the construction of the Death Star.

"Oh, you're the only contractor in the galaxy that builds catwalks at great heights with no rails? You're on the next shuttle out of here to start work immediately on the Emperor's new project."

This is true. The start of Rogue One gave that sort of suggestion. But previous to Rogue One, did the contractors for DS2 know to retcon their hiring practices?

Quite a few security guards at the mall were also shot or badly maimed

Remember the setup line to that? Clearly only there so Bennet could say his "blink of an eye" thing, the soldier saying "Cutting the little girls throat is like cutting warm butter"

What a f**** psycho! Shame he didnt get his own scene where Arnie cut his throat , or better yet , Chenny doing it.
