@@Tracer_Krieg I understand where you're coming from, but blowing up planets you own-especially key systems-is far, FAR more destabilizing both politically and economically. Besides, if the Empire had to "send a message" by going after the populace, they could have just used orbital bombardment and then just repaired the planet and reuse it for whatever ends they saw fit. Or better yet, they could have used chemical and/or biological weapons to wipe them out. Blowing up a planet not just nullifies the point of owning it, it wastes resources and potential living space. Also, with all due respect...in the original, pre-Disney Star Wars Legends (although I do concede I'm sure about this for the new canon) Tarkin and Palpatine's regime didn't even broadcast what they did and actually tried to hide it, and when it got out Alderaan was destroyed they tried to pin it on the Rebels, so obviously they were not concerned about sending a message, otherwise they would have made sure everyone-without exception-could see it. I mean, think about it...if they really wanted to make sure a message was sent, would it not have made sense for them to broadcast the Battle of Yavin (when they thought they were going to win) to make the whole galaxy witness the end of the Rebellion live?

​@@lerneanlion I can certainly see where you are coming from. Is it really such a shock, given what happened last time both in the Disney canon and pre-Disney Star Wars Legends, that a New/Second Republic would repeat the mistakes of the first? Hell, especially in the new Disney canon version, the New Republic not just repeated the mistakes of the previous one but amped up its problems, its weaknesses and flaws to eleven. Rather than learn from the mistakes of the past in making a new system, or even just replicate the old system completely, they doubled-down on its weaknesses. Also keep in mind that by the time the rebellion happened the problems of the Republic were still very much in living memory, it really was not that far back, especially for a galaxy where the average human lives to over 100 years old, the average force sensitive human lives to over 200 (sometimes longer), and there are alien species that can live for several centuries to more than a millennia. It is certainly understandable that many people would want to overthrow Palpatine's regime or at least see a change in leadership, especially since the leadership (If not the system itself) had proven themselves to be a bunch of raving, often xenophobic lunatics who wanted to be the 'Empire of the Ashes' as evidenced with Alderaan, Despyre (in Star Wars Legends), or Jedda (in canon), and those are just the more notable examples. However, it boggles the mind how a large segment of the over 100 quadrillion people of the larger, known galaxy would be up for another Galactic Republic after what just happened with the previous one. One would think most would be weary of such an idea of giving it another go, it was thanks to the Republic and its problems that they ended up in the mess that was Palpatine and his regime in the first place. Sure, the original Rebel Alliance from the original trilogy looks big to us, and it is in Earth terms...but in Star Wars terms, with a galaxy of over 100 quadrillion people in a big galaxy, it really isn't that big relatively speaking. Perhaps that comes down to people being reluctant to see a New Republic repeat history. Hell, even by the time the New Republic crashed and burned in Star Wars Legends with the Yuuzhan Vong War, or got destroyed by the First Order in Disney's canon version, the Republic still is very much in living memory. Even by that point-both in Legends and canon-it has only been about fifty years...yeah, in our terms on Earth today that is a long time but still in living memory, and in Star Wars the average human-again-lives to over 100 years old if not more. Honestly, given what we have seen, I think the only reason the Republic in either version ever came into being, let alone lasted as long as it had and was as successful (despite its issues) it had been was purely for one reason, one advantage they had that hardly any competitor did, something that gave them a trump card against many foes: the Jedi Order. I do not think it a coincidence in Star Wars Legends that the Republic was founded not very long (at least in Star Wars terms) after the Jedi Order was, nor do I find it a coincidence that when the Jedi Order weakened the Republic did too (as in the case of Knights of the Old Republic 2 when the Jedi Order is near extinction and the Republic is close to collapse), nor even do I find it a coincidence that when the Jedi Order was destroyed the Republic's democracy followed suit (even if the state itself did survive). Sure, in Legends the New Republic did have a Jedi Order backing it like the Old Republic did, I will acknolwedge that point, but it was a much smaller, less established Jedi Order still trying to rebuild itself. In the case of canon...is it really a coincidence that the New Republic face-planted as it did with the Jedi Order barely rebuilding and then getting wiped out again not super long before? I honestly think, given what we have seen in Star Wars materials from the films, to games, to comics and other mediums that a New Republic was never going to work, especially not without the backing of a force organization like (but not necessarily restricted to) the Jedi, who had effectively acted as the Republic's lifeline, it's life support to keep it going. The materials certainly has shown the Republic was its own worst enemy, if nothing else. I think that probably what would have worked the best would be some kind of elective, constitutional monarchy (an actual constitutional and elective one and that some elaborate hoax as Palpatine set up, and one that was fairly strong but not overly, like with Naboo's system) with a strong (but not overly) parliamentary democracy with a strong and independent judiciary (seriously, have we ever seen the Judicial Branch of either the Old Republic or the New Republic in either canon or Legends, or gotten anything more than a brief mention of a Supreme Court? It seems like a non-factor). Anyways, sorry for the mini-essay ramble, but I do very much agree with your larger argument @lerneanlion.

It is possible, I suppose, that maybe those senators who were loyal to him-or at least some of them-might have been rewarded afterwards with some other cushy job or something or another to buy them off, but it is also possible they could have just been dismissed (or secretly worse) now that they had effectively outlived their usefulness and couldn't really do anything about it.

Planets did keep up their own military. It just wasn’t strong enough to withstand a federation invasion or unified into a galactic army.

Well, the comparisons drawn here tend to reflect real-world autocracies.. Given that it gives us an idea to relate to. However, we never actually know what life is like in the galaxy except for what is told to us in the movies, tv shows and games. Sure these have expanded on the topic a lot. But for me the jury is still out. The Empire has a huge military sure, but all those resources can't be delivered to that military without having a stable infrastructure of production. If the Clone Wars left the whole galaxy in a galactic stone age, more likely the Empire would be busy investing in the lives of its citizens and rebuilding entire regions of space so that they actually could invest in constructing a bigger military, or a super-special battle station. That would take time, a lot of time, and I think you did cover this nicely. But if we're going to draw similarities between the star wars universe and our world, then I imagine the galaxy is just as fragmented in terms of development and ideology. Of course there are parts in Star Wars where people are impoverished or oppressed, and often we see that as the drama plays out in those settings. But how can we really know what life in the Empire is like based on its description from the view from someone far removed from the center of the galaxy, e.g. a farm-boy from a dusty planet? It would be like viewing the experience of the average American citizen through the context of an average Afghani, Syrian or Sudanese. In the real, most people in parts of the world that are suffering from conflict or humanitarian crisis don't have any idea of what life is like for Americans, or westerners in general because they have no metric for it, save for the occasional deployment of military or aid organizations that have a UN logo slapped on their helicopters and equipment. So in the case of the Empire, I think there is simply not enough information about this. Luke would have grown up hating the Empire, and maybe some of that is justified, but has he ever actually been to the Empire? There must be a stark difference of opinion between people living in the developed/developing parts of the galaxy and all we, the audience really knows is the perspective of the latter.

The thing is.....you don't really need droids to run a factory as fast as a biological. We have machines that can work faster and newer 3-D printers and right now are developing a 3-D printer that makes products using light to make parts. With these machines, made simpler and maybe less pieces that break down less thus needing less workers to do the same job the Empire wanted. Less workers needed and not becuase of droids would want people to join the military more, and cutting a deal with the manufactures that for every worker they don't need that pay goes into the military that would improve the quality of life for the soldiers, Storm troopers and.....'sailors'? Would those in the Imperial Navy be called- And that's another problem. The Republic, Rebellion, Sepertist and Imperial 'Navy' is technically the 'space force'. If you had a fleet of say......oh Hell lets say hover vessel's like Jabba's sail barge then yes you could call it a 'Nany' of sorts. And even keep the sail on those hover craft as it wouldn't require a lot of maintenance compared to propulsion- ANYWAYS, but an improved quality of life in the military for every worker the factory owner doesn't need and for the pay that would have gone to a worker is reduced from their taxes as it is already being paid for, as well a prestigious position within the Empire or if the factory worker isn't really needed all that much to run the factory becuase of the simple machines and if they want one, a Commission of sorts, maybe to have their own hover fleet world pending.

Yeah, I really don't see why slavery is even a thing in the Star Wars galaxy (except maybe as a status symbol, maybe) when you have droids, which really aren't overly expensive and are very, very common. I mean droids don't have to eat, they don't need water, they don't need medicine,they don't need to breath, they never get tired, they only occasionally need to be recharged, they can work in far harsher conditions (including the vacuum of space) without real consequences (and if hardier ones are needed they exist as well), they can have "experience" or whatever programmed into them to be more efficient (which also means you don't have to really train them to be efficient), and they basically never rebel (to say nothing of restraining bolts and regular memory wipes and shut-down commands if one is still worried about that). Really, slavery with organics just seems like both a stupid risk and needlessly expensive one. Sure, droids aren't super cheap, but they're clearly commoditized, and with further advancement they could theoretically become super cheap. I mean, just look at the Lars family and their homestead. The Lars family are moisture farmers in the middle of nowhere on Tattooine of all places, yet they can afford some droids and still afford that ship Luke flies shooting womp rats, plus a speeder, plus other things...and they don't appear to be financially struggling as a result. If a family like the Lars can afford some droids, I see absolutely no reason why the Galactic Empire's military government couldn't just automate stuff for labor or whatever it is they fancy at any given moment. And that's just the topic of droids with intellect, that's to say nothing of just regular machines like you described like in factories. Even in the real world here on Earth, machines replacing people and their jobs is an actual issue...and we're far, FAR less advanced than the Star Wars galaxy, probably by thousands and thousands of years. If automation is already becoming a thing here, and is increasingly becoming a thing to the point where even people in authority are at a loss for what to do about all the people who have and will lose their jobs to automation, then automation should be all that much easier, cheaper, more doable and efficient in the Star Wars galaxy. Automation should be way more of a thing in Star Wars. And again, back to droids, there is very little that sentient organics can do that a droid cannot at ultimately a cheaper (if not far cheaper) price (and with very, very little risk of rebellion, zero if handled right). Those things that organic sentients can do that droids cannot (or at least not as cheaply, at least barring further technological advancement) are things that ultimately require education anyways, and I doubt the Galactic Empire (indeed, most slave-holding and/or authoritarian societies) would want to educate slaves anyways. Seriously, slavery of organic sentients makes no bloody sense in the context of Star Wars on a purely economic and productive scale given what we have been shown even just in the context of the movies, to say nothing of other materials.

@@madisonatteberry9720 That's an interesting point. From what I know-though I could be wrong-the larger Star Wars galaxy seemed to rely on reactors of some kind, even in the original film itself, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope they mentioned reactors. That being said...they never went into detail on reactors or other sources of power in the films themselves. I'm sure they did in some comics, games, books or whatever, but as far as I know there hadn't been any mention of what type of reactors they are. Whatever exactly these reactors are, though, I imagine they are probably far more efficent and produce way more power than our nuclear reactors, or barring that then at least they're smaller and more affordable-or most likely, all of the above. Maybe their reactors are some kind of super advanced future nuclear reactors? Maybe they figured out cold fusion (which seems far more likely, but who knows)? Maybe something even more theoretical like, say, zero point energy or something? Or maybe whatever kinds of reactors they are, what sort power source the galaxy largely depends upon, is from something we can't or just haven't accounted for?

There are a number of assumptions that can be countered. - The Cult of Man is no longer canon. In all of the movies, human and aliens were treated equally badly. Even withing the Rebellion, aliens were not common, and alien fighters were rare. We only recently discovered that there were women Stormtroopers and there may have been aliens there as well. Loyalty was all that was demanded. - Entire worlds produce a huge amount of material and wealth. It doesn't take that much to supply a military. The US military only amounts to 1/5 of its GDP while making up the majority of NATO even when all other allies are combined. - The Empire didn't spend willy nilly. They cut costs frequently. They stuck with the TIE and TIE interceptors where as they could have purchased the TIE Defender. Stormtrooper armor was cheap plastoid instead of denser more resilient materials. The list goes on. These are all cost cutting measures used to equip a military yet they could have spent more if they wanted. - You don't need poverty to get lots of recruits. Even middle class use the military to get adventure & get benefits. Better educated recruits make better soldiers. Every planet is going to have a middle class and poor category. The idea to keep planets poor makes no sense since rich planets offer more in taxable wealth and production capabilities. - You don't need to keep a people in poverty to keep them under foot. You only have to corrupt their politicians. People will follow along with the law as long as they're fat and happy. You can tax the crap out of them and they'll go along with it. (note: see USSR). - Constant wars? Where? The Empire ended up having to do some policing actions cleaning up old Separatist areas but this was minor stuff. It only took a fraction for this to be done. The Empire was at peace for 2 decades while most places grew fat again. Outer rim worlds were the only exception but then the Republic didn't care about them before the Empire either. The fact is that they've done a pretty piss poor job of making the Empire the big villain to hate. Some of the authors of the new EU are just bad with schemes that make little sense.

@@starwarsrebel2006 Iraq wasn't safer under Hussein, the number of civilians who died each year from homicide, either by private individuals or the state, was higher under Saddam then after his deposition. Iraq and Russia have that in common, not that they where safer under the previous dictatorships, but the illusion of being safer existed despite it not being the case. It's similar to how people in the US feel that it's more dangerous today then in the past, despite it being safer now then at any other time on record.

@@ragnerschwarzmane3412 Eh...well, technically speaking, to be fair, he was kind of correct. Humans are technically the overwhelming supermajority in terms of demographics, and in Palpatine's regime they were politically dominant insofar as who got preferential treatment and (Grand Admiral Thrawn not withstanding) was actually allowed into positions of importance (or even just allowed to join the rank and file). You were certainly right that their downfall was inevitable, but the reason was because they kept going around pissing off most of the galaxy (often for no real practical reason) into either rebelling against them or just not supporting them. That and also by convincing everyone they were a bunch of raving lunatics who wanted to burn the whole galaxy to the ground, like what they did with the first Death Star for the most notable examples both in the pre-Disney Star Wars Legends and the Disney canon.

Do they have super strength or something? Then again...a regular human can-at least if they're strong enough-kill another by punching them just right in the nose so as to both to break it and make bone stab into the brain, so I guess in theory if a death trooper had the right coordination and enough strength one could kill someone with a punch. I assume when you ask "can one survive a punch" that you are asking if a human could survive that rather than, say, a wookie surviving it.

I would argue this tho: a single B1 costed about 1.800 credits, by the time of the empire maybe even less. The average imperial stormtrooper costed more, food, armor, weapon, all the people who took care of training, cleaning, cooking and stuff would amount at MUCH more credits than that. The empire would've been better off creating B1 droids to field along side its organic forces, but not reveal their existance, not right away.

I declare this anti-Imperial propaganda. I choose to ignore it as it is trying to speak ill of our glorious Emperor.

bruh if people just listened the empire would have been great

Sad video about star wars empire isn't near as bad as 40k's empire.

This video goes against the terms and conditions of the imperial broadcasting company. You have 2 hours to remove this video, or you will face severe consequences.

This is some real rebel propaganda. Expect a visit from Imperial Intelligence.

The problem with the empire isn't it's form of government. It's lack of competent leadership. No form of government (democracy, republic, dictatorship, monarchy etc) is good or bad. It comes down to the whether the leadership is competent or not.

But is ultimately bogged down by wanting a concensus/vote on an issue, bureaucracy, and recognizing threats to it until it was too late... sounds like the current Dems to me.

REBEL PROPAGANDA

The Empire is kind of like the US. Most people live in poverty, minorities are held down, there is no government investment in education, health care, basic rights, etc. You CAN succeed, but in order to do so you literally have to be the best at whatever you're trying to do or else you can't be used to turn a buck for someone else. And in order to be the best, in most cases, you need access to resources and training opportunities that aren't there for you because you live in poverty. Oh and did I mention our cops are basically Stormtroopers? They kill innocent civilians, so there is that.

Where do you get this nonsense? Welfare/Retirement/Healthcare programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid) make up THE MAJORITY of Federal spending. The states collectively spent $670 billion just on secondary and elementary schools in 2016. That year, the U.S.only spent $534 billion on its ENTIRE DEFENSE BUDGET. The vast majority of "Poor" people in the U.S. are middle income or upper compared to the rest of the PLANET. Average people take government officials to court and WIN all the time. Even after all the media hype surrounding it, 64 percent of Americans still OPPOSE the concept of "defund the police". I don't know where you got your ideas, but they don't resemble reality.
