I'd say that the worst jobs were probably any that brought you into contact with any members of the imperial leadership. After all, you could never tell whether you were going to be force choked for spilling Vader's coffee, have your home planet destroyed because Tarkin found the slightest fault or if some farm boy was about to launch a torpedo into your exhaust port.

Imperial Aquatic Navy might be a terrible job. Given the Imperial standards on Tie Fighters, I would not trust their deep sea equipment any deeper than a swimming pool's deep end.

They didn’t shoot it so they could search the pod just incase. But it did bite them in the butt. Should’ve just blast it no need to search what other information the droids held.

One of my favorite minor characters is Tenn Graneet, the man who actually fired the super laser. After Alderaan, he couldn't bring himself to fire it again, so he just kept repeating "stand by," all the while praying that something would stop it. Had he fired right away, all the Rebels on Yavin IV would've died. Luke would've destroyed the Death Star moments later regardless, but his delay saved the Rebellion.

11:15 Then two floor chiefs dragged the "body" away, redressed him, gave him a larger mustache and he came back as Lt. Leopold the 2nd. Just like they trained in Death Star Orientation.

I always wanted to hear a joke about why there are no guard rails on landings and ridiculously deep pits. My thought was by not including safety rails the empire could build 3.4 more bases per 1000 bases by saving the endo steel that would have been used to build safety railing.

Having latrine/sanitation duty sucks in any military operation real or imagined.

Nitpick on the Battle of Hoth: the Rebels lost almost all their Snowspeeder to pull the tow cable trick ONCE. The other AT-AT losses at that battle came from a Snowspeeder pilot discovering a weakness in the foot (namely that if you repeatedly shoot a certain spot for a prolonged period it disassembles), a guy with a lightsaber cutting a hole and throwing a bomb inside, and a kamikaze attack.

Tie Fighter design is so infuriating. They are far faster than the rebel fighters. Giving the Tie even the most basic shields that could block one or two blasts would have not only saved lives but also the Ties themselves.

I think the training for the Tie fighter was more for dedication instead of actual utility. The tie fighter screams quantity at it's honest worse. The best example as to how dime a dozen Tie Fighters and their pilots are was the battle of Scarif. Hundreds of Tie Fighters just poured out of the shield gate, and quite literally threw themselves at the rebels. They were engaging ships with point defense weapons and star fighter support it was basically suicide for the Tie Fighters. The idea wasn't to get someone useful in the cockpit but someone willing to fly a glass peashooter at the enemy. Hence all the empire propaganda poured into them during training.

Let's pay respects for the lower level officers and beurecrats who had to manage all the logistics and paperwork for transitioning the republic to the empire.

I appreciate GT for writing out in Aurebesh in their videos as well for those not understanding Earth Basic.

So going onto your point about the TIE Pilots having good training but low budget gear is actually a fair point. The reason why is because of just cost. The cost of TIEs were cheap so it was easy on the budget. But the reason they were given the good training is so that they can always preform at their very best. The US Marines have a similar way of training (coming from a marine) we get trained rigorously and the training can be very difficult but it helps because when we get issued our gear and eventually have to fight in combat with the cheapest BS the military can buy we can preform above and beyond what is required of us.

I would say being a stormtrooper or death star technician as they were near the death star laser.

There is a reasonable correlation between TIE Fighters and the A6M “Zero”

Unfortunately I don't think they give you a choice where you go after all "you are no longer serving yourself, you serve the empire"

(2:05) I feel bad for these gunners. It's like the guys that were involved in the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. You had to overcome some major mental hurdles in order to move on. If anyone wants to know how firing weapons of mass destruction can affect one's life, look up the story of Claude Eatherly.

Thought you were going to mention the lack of a railing there

Don't forget that the tunnel techs also don't even get a railing.

Being a tie pilot, a stormtrooper, an officer under Vader etc.

I think those are the *ONLY* jobs in the Empires' military, but I'm probably wrong; long comment short, just *being* apart of the Empires' military is a death sentence even if you never fired your blaster once.

Any Admiral in Vader's Death Squadron tasked to catch the Falcon. Remember Battlefront 2 with the Prison break on the Death Star? Whoever worked on Scarif after Rogue One. The first Death Star architect. Legends especially proved that. Whoever has to drive the AT-TP. The Dark Trooper program. The Endor unit when the Ewoks get hungry and it's night time. Bonus points after the Rebels won.

Awesome!

Imperial Plumber. That’s gotta be up there. Imagine how many toilets are flushing at any given moment on a Star destroyer or the Death Star? That’s some major TP usage

Honestly, working for the Empire seems to be just the worst. I mean, the Sith literally get their power from being assholes & most of the higher ups benefit from being dicks as well. No normal person benefits from that in a way that could be worth it by any stretch of the imagination.

Don't forget one of the most memorable lines given out by Vader - 'Apology accepted, Captain Needa.' That dumb sod was just like Ozzel, choked to death, but this was earlier in the trilogy... I think... I don't really remember... And how about this: had Return of the Jedi turned out different, Vader would've likely killed the rest of the 501st that'd served on Endor protecting the shield generator bunker for their sheer incompetence and rebuilt his personal legion from the ground up. That would've been one of the worst jobs then, serving in Vader's personal legion that'd failed to protect the second Death Star and thus under intense scrutiny by the Dark Lord at all times.

You forgot about under city police, the Inquisitors

TIE fighter were very good when they did not go against main characters with huge plot armour.And in the movies i did not see one fighter with shields.From ARC-170 to X-Wing,if they are piloted by extras,they go done from 1 or 2 shots.

Vader had messed up at one point and when they were on the DS1, he was actually subordinate to Tarkin per the Emperor's order.

Another thing to add about Darth Vader only being accountable to Empire Palpatine. Is that often Palpatine found it amusing and even hilarious at times when he was present witnessing Darth Vader Punishing his minions. So the only man who really could save your life as a minion to the empire often didn't care because he was complete pyschopath who murdered his entire family when he was young. So Old sheev wouldn't think twice about Vader slaughtering minions he deemed to incompetent do there jobs the only way it would happen if Palpatine still thought the individual or individuals were still useful as tool in some capacity to the Empire.

yes!

You mentioned Death Gunners, and didn’t include Tenn Graneet?

Being an officer near a sith is never good. You end up dead quicker than you can manage even the worst things ever, meaning that being close to Darth Vader is a death sentence. If you ever commit a crime, a really bad one at that, then maybe we should send you to Lord Vader and let him decide your fate, but you'll most likely just end up more dead than an ant being close to a 5 year old kid. Good luck surviving
