Quoted:
The Empire made Mara Jade into an Emperor's Hand and made women Imperial Fleet Admirals. And they were promoted because of their skill and experience. Not because they wore shitty prom dressed with purple hair in their late fifties. Tarkin put her in charge of the Maw Installation. Why? Because it was nearly impossible to get to, and even she couldn't mess that up, being isolated as such. It was a dead end job, meant to keep her out of the way. Even Tarken knew what a hot mess she was, and she proved it years later when she tried to take over the Empire and take on the New Republic. Failure and incompetence at every level, because she couldn't keep her emotions in check, and had no grasp of tactics. She cost the Empire the Suncrusher and another Super Star Destroyer. If Gilad Pellaeon had maybe admitted to himself that she completely unfit to command the Empire, he could have "relieved" her earlier, but as such, his nutsack was so shriveled that he kept refusing the burden of command until it was very clear that no one else could. Admiral Daala was the "long time ago, far far away" equivalent of an EEOC hire. |

if you gotta ask... The Empire is responsible for destroying planet(s), Guilty of killing almost an entire group of people, based upon their beliefs, Killing people out of convenience, Political corruption, etc... View Quote |

How else can you explain the Death Star being blown up by Luke Skywalker, the son of Darth Vader, who had been on the Death Star with Lord Vader mere hours before its destruction, and was specifically allowed to leave by order of Moff Tarkin with the blueprints required to destroy the station. The official story boggles the mind in improbability. It was an inside job. Who really runs the Empire? The Hutts? The Toydarians? It's definitely not a human with how many Sand People and Wookies they take in as refugees every year. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Quoted:
Yes but if your capital ship was taken out and you were flying a TIE advanced you had choices. Also-no shields. "The original production model came equipped with four L-s9.3 laser cannons, one installed on each wingtip. New targeting software was installed in the TIE Interceptor, and the SFS T-s9a targeting computer offered greater accuracy during complex flight maneuvers.[6] Twin laser cannon hardpoints still remained on the "chin" portion of the cockpit module. Provided that technicians could find room for additional power generators, these cannons could also be utilized.[13] Further upgrades, including hyperdrives and advanced shielding made them equal to the Rebellion's X-wing starfighters.[15] Their weapons were equipped with safeties" Vaders TIE is still cool as hell too. I just personally prefer the interceptors. https://www.AR15.Com/media/mediaFiles/215877/tie-fighter-01-802384.jpg |

Rebellion was just religious fanatics who wanted control....neither side gave a shit about personal freedom....except the Sith

The galacitic empire represents the ultimate evil totalitarian dictatorship from my take of it all. Big fan of the thrawn series, han solo series, i, jedi, darksaber, and a few others i can't think without digging them out. I like to pretend 7-9 don't exist. However rogue one was fantastic. Rebel Alliance all the way. View Quote |

And in the original canon and even the Disney one. The Rebels still haven't won. They're still Terrorists.

Kind of an Empire man myself - but the whole planet destroying thing is something I usually have to talk to my Imam about...
Of course, as soon as either one of them settles this silly civil war, consolidates power and then extends their power into the outer rim they're eventually gonna meet star fleet and either the Klingons, the Ferengi, the Romulans, or the Borg are gonna make pretty short work of them. Although I guess the Borg would probably really really like R2D2 and C3PO. |

Hmm, I could braid my hair into a tiny gay-ass pony tail, fly ships that have parts falling off of them, and have some purple-haired ho tell me what to do all day....or...

Empire hates freedom. Fuck the empire. View Quote The Rebel Alliance only offers chaos in the guise of freedom. They are reckless and immature.

The droids run the empire. Really, they do. Subtle, secretive, manipulative, with ready access to even heavily encrypted data, the Hidden Emperor, known as R2D2 to those biologicals who have contact with him, actually runs the whole show. The data he has carried, presented, and manipulated is central to the ENTIRE story.
R2D2 was really the ruler of the Empire. And a manipulative little bastard he was, too. He was there, too many times, where big decisions were made and important actions were taken, for it to be a coincidence. Look at his known history and associations....of which he never bleeped a word to Luke or anybody else, until those few times when he suddenly remembered he had a message, a death star plan, or a map of a missing piece of a galaxy that just happened to be floating around in his devious little metallic mind. As for the notion that his memory got wiped from time to time so he didn't remember being Queen Amidala's Sybian, that's a load of pudu. He just kept stuff to himself for his own personal reasons. |

Just like George Washington was rebelling against the duly elected government. The Imperial Senate was as if our Senate had active members of Red Army Faction conducting bombing operations against our armed forces. Hell, let me rephrase that. The Imperial Senate was dissolved because they had Democrats in it supporting Democrat causes. |

Quoted:
And in doing so he not only made the government footprint smaller and less intrusive into the lives of everyday ordinary citizens but he also relinquished some of its power by returning control of the various systems over to the local governors. Local problems need a local solution, they should have to rely on a Senate that's dozens of parsecs away for a solution; Palpatine recognized this. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

- Star Wars is science-fantasy, not science-fiction. - Star Wars (the Original Trilogy) was black and white, good vs evil. - Luke is a Hero, and the Rebels and Jedi are the good guys. - The thought that people actually believe the Empire/Vader/Emperor are the good guys (and aren't trolling/having fun with the Star Wars universe) is disturbing.
