    Question Star Wars - Were Emperor and his Empire really the evil ones?

    The Case for the Empire

    All senator Palpatine wanted to do was bring order to the galaxy that was ruled by an inneffective, beuracratic senate. Was he really the bad guy?
    Everything I say is either loose interpretation of dubious facts or idle speculation rooted in irrational sentiment.

    Well, that whole electricity, or whatever it was, from the fingers deal wasn't exactly the best PR one could ask for.

    How did palpatine become a Sith Lord anyway ? He's never shown any talent or aspirations towards it.

    That'll be for Episode III I guess

    Just think of the job creation he did though - all those stormtroopers and other support staff would have been out of a job without him.

    The universe needs ditch diggers, too.
