Daala got where she was because she was slobbin' Tarkin's lightsaber.

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.

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,

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.

Yes but if your capital ship was taken out and you were flying a TIE advanced you had choices.
Also-no shields.
You made me nerd out a bit and look over the TIE variants. Saw this on the interceptor wiki

"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.

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.

I can tell you this. The United Federation of Planets would be supported and supplying arms, training, and equipment t9 the Rebels. Hell, Section 33 and Star Fleet Intelligence would probably be giving them safe space in Federation territory to train. The UFP would be like the USSR supporting terrorists all back in the 60s and 70s.

Alderaan was like Afghanistan. They funded, housed, and supported Rebel Terrorists. Bail Prestor Organa was one of the founding members of the Rebel Alliance and was also the ruling leader of Alderaan. Striking Alderaan is a good thing. Planet wants to be gangsta until it's time to do gangsta shit. Part of that is getting space nuked by the Death Star.

The Sith was a religious order that broke away from the Jedi and were persecuted like many early Protestants were when they broke away from the Catholic Church. The Jedi literally waged a war and killed the original Species of Sith. THE JEDI WAGED A WAR OF GENOCIDE. They then went after people that simply wanted to experience emotions, have families, and want to grow.

The Jedi Order kidnapped kids and brainwashed them for God's sake. Yoda even said that Anakin was too old for training. Why? because he fucking remembered his mother.... that's why. They didn't even attempt to free his mother. They let her stay as a slave! Obi-Wan and Yoda lied to Luke to get him to fight against Vader. Nor did they train Leia and even tell her that she's Force sensitive. They told Luke that Vader killed his father, that his father was a navigator on a freighter, that his father was a innocent pawn killed by the Sith, etc.... ALL FUCKING LIES.

The Jedi were self appointed, fell under no civil government control (ie the People), mind fucked citizens, stole property, destroyed property, carried weapons while the citizenry were disarmed, and lopped off limbs like bored Samurai.

The Rebels wanted to bring back a corrupt government that worked much like the USSR. The Republic preached freedom yet bred an army of living beings and sent them to slaughter against a group of systems that wanted to leave the Republic over economic and tax issues. Sounds like fucking slavery to me.

The Empire didn't give a fuck if Han was armed.... Stormies walked right by him in the bar. He only got into trouble for agreeing to smuggle a know Jedi Terrorist and his Bacha Bazi Lover Boy Toy. Lando ran Cloud City with no problems.... until he harbored terrorists.

Fuck the Rebels.

Soooo oppressive that people all across the galaxy can own their own personally owned FTL capable heavily armed star ships all while openly carrying blasters that can defeat Storm Trooper armor. Private business is protected and so in intellectual property. The economy is doing well that folks even out in the middle of fucking nowhere own military grade training craft that are armed and for fun go blasting whomp rats.



When the Stormies were searching for R2-D2 and C-3PO in Mos Esley. Did they break down every door and illegally search locked residences? Nope. They knocked on doors and asked. If they couldn't gain entry they continued on their patrol.

Fucking Boston was more authoritarian when they searched for the bombers and simply went into folks homes and businesses.

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.

And that was a good thing. Especially since a number of its members were active members of a terrorist organization and supported it.

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.

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.

What if they meet the Colonial Fleet or the Cylons instead? Remember Star Wars is set "a long time ago, in a galaxy far away". Battlestar Gallactica is also set a long time ago in a galaxy far away.

Battlestars vs Star Destroyers...

Colonials or Cylons would be owned. They don't even have shielding. Turbolasers aren't lasers. They're self contained plasma bolts of superheated tabanna gas. They have the equivalency of a high yield nuke and even lowly private vessels own them.

Its been a while since I've seen it, but I thought that BG was set in the future and that humans cane from earth.

Nope....

Humans come from a thirteen tribes. Twelve of then became the colonies and made the Cylons. The thirteenth unknown one was "Earth". They nuked themselves long ago. So the survivors of the original twelve had to look for another rock to call home. They found our Earth and discovered the native primitive species is a close genetic match to establish a breeding ground. They settled and they became us.

well, in number of planets/ moonish star bases/ people destroyed, the Empire/ first order are still ahead of the rebels.

- 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.

Also what kind of prophecy brings balance by killing all of he Sith and Darkside Users? Balance means an equal number on both sides. He did bring balance. The Jedi were reduced to an equal number as the Sith.

Sith are a cancer, and the Force can't be in balance as long as they exist...but I'm pretty sure you know that

I thought Miami jbt already had a thread on this? Probably archived but he made a pretty good argument that the empire was in the right, IIRC.

I was a empire fan boy in the beginning, so beat it rebel scum.

JBTs gonna JBT so not surprising that one would side with the empire.

Good Question!

But maybe we should jump forward in time a little bit.  I bet Martin Landau could take on the entire empire in Space 1999...  Plus his "Battlestar" really was a moon!

Sith aren't a cancer. They're simply a different sect of the same beliefs. The Jedi are like the Catholic Church with the hostility of ISIS or the Taliban. Fucking pushing their extreme orthodoxy on others. The Sith are like Martin Luther questioning such bullshit.
