i agree that empire tactics were the wrong approach and would probably have lost; however on the vagaeries of the force: palpatine knew he had to unite the galaxy under one banner to protect it against an outside unpercievable force, what he didnt know is that actual victory would be achieved by a small terrorist splinter group (uninhibited by the jedi counsel or politicians) that arose in reaction to his consilidation
no siddius, no rebels, no defeating vong
If you were Human or Nearhuman and didn't act like a shit the Empire left you alone at worst and treated you good at best. In EU a lot of Mid Rimmers said they couldn't even notice a difference in their lives between the Republic and Empire (and they didn't say that in a negative way).
The Rebellion itself starred because a few disgruntled political rivals of Palpatine lost their influence in the Senate and took a hit to their wages.
>If you were Human or Nearhuman and didn't act like a shit
Yeah like say 'Wanting democracy' or 'Living on a planet that Princess Leia lived on'.
> the galaxy is weak, the jedi are weak, only the strength of the sith could stop the vong
Except the Jedi and the Republic did successfully defeat the Yuuzhan Vong, so you're just flat out wrong there. And part of the reason that they were able to do that was that they were able to convince the Yuuzhan Vong homeworld to side with them and started the Jeedai heresy among the Shamed Ones, bringing down the Vong from within. The Sith wouldn't have been able to do that. Could the Sith have offered the Shamed Ones a better lot in life? Nope, the Sith subscribed to the same kind of brutality that the Shamed Ones suffered under the Priest and Warrior castes. Would the Sith have bothered talking to Zonama Sekot? Nope again.
>wanting democracy
You can want democracy all you want. When you start firing the first shots and murdering people for it, then you're a shit. The Empire did nothing to the founders of the Rebellion. They instigated it by sending Palps a declaration of "we're coming to murder you and there will be no negotiation".
> palpatine knew he had to unite the galaxy under one banner to protect it
Palpatine didn't unite the galaxy. He just usurped control from the largest government that was already in existence.
And again, you're wrong. The Jedi were a key part of beating the Yuuzhan Vong.
>If you were Human or Nearhuman and didn't act like a shit the Empire left you alone at worst and treated you good at best
>If you were Aryan or NearAryan and didn't act like a shit the Nazis left you alone at worst and treated you good at best
>You can want democracy all you want
Yes, which is why he disbanded the senate. At which point, what sort of democracy was available?
>Five Jedi go after Palpatine for illegally seizing power and dismantling the lawful government
>This means it's okay to blow up an unrelated planet populated by billions of people twenty years later
>When you start firing the first shots and murdering people for it, then you're a shit.
Palpatine must be a real shit, what was murdering people for his rule. You know, by starting a civil war and organising a whole heap of assassinations.
