- The Empire Was Right - The Series
The video is done in fun to show both how propaganda can be used to spin anything and that there are some plot holes in Star Wars. Rebuttal and sequel videos are being planned, so feel free to leave a comment and I may discuss it in long form.
This video dives into how Palpatine was a brilliant and merciful leader by playing both sides of The Clone Wars it also takes a deep dive into slavery in The Star Wars Film Saga.
For over four decades, there has been debate on who the true villains and heroes of the Star Wars Saga are. With over 10 minutes of content and discussion, I feel that a fair argument can be made in favor of The Empire.
I am not implying that the empire, sith, or their associates are perfectly good and I am not saying the jedi, rebels, or their associates are purely evil. But each side sits squarely on a spectrum. With the empire leaning towards the morally justified side and and the rebels and jedi leaning more towards war mongering blood thirsty side.

The Empire Was Right
documentary star wars explained
#satire #comedy #starwars
The empire literally brought all crime on Alderaan and Jeddah to 0% and gave a homeless kid a job, a name, and a family. If that’s not good guy material I don’t know what is
And PALPATINE sacrificed his free time, hobbies and interests to serve the Galaxy. And in order to do so, he had to orchestrate a war to save the Galaxy. Just like how the USA saved the Middle East.
The Empire even gave the criminal Han Solo and opportunity.
To be employed. And against my advice still gave him training. And look how that turned out.
@@jkdbuck7670 how did the usa save the middle east, it brought the start of isis making civil wars, and invading countries.

@@IAmJimHuss haven't u done with your ''first order was right'' yet ??
Agree, whatever they themselves (Rebel/Resistance).
"good alabama brother" lmao Im dying
Same
One thing that I always liked about our great new emperor, is that he is always seen laughing and having a jolly old time. I think his love of laughter is what sets him apart from all the other people in Star Wars
"Is it even really slavery when the slaves are wookiees?" Incredibly based take from Moff Jim Huss.
I love Jim's argument about the rebels being bad, it has great evidence and a convincing argument. keep making great content
i agree with you
It has virtually no argument lmao
he's right their is a lot of evidence that the empier was right and also in the mandalorian tv show that guy did say what freedom bring you only war and destruction and the empire bringed only order
Watching the videos I am confused if he's serious or he's joking.
The argument is right and he has the evidence but sometimes the jokes makes the atmosphere too sarcastic.

"nothing to see here folks"
@@IAmJimHuss as you so duly noted ;-)
Anakin was very much anti-slavery due to his childhood and hence fught to ablolish slavery throughout the Empire, the wookies were enslaved rather than inprisoned due to their valuable strength that they provided to the labour force. Hence the Empire did not enslave, instead it was more like community service.
Except Wookies were often brought into the labor force against their will, were given to Trandoshans, who enjoyed slaughtering Wookies, and oh yeah, strength doesn't really matter when you're building gigantic space stations in space. Droid could easily do the work for you.
Empire also provide free meal, healthcare and opportunity to increase their skill to wider galaxy.
@@marinerproductions1315 well the thing is wookies aren't sentient and driods would cost money
Ah yes, forced slavery that involves.
Kidnapping a certain race
Forcing them to work without pay
And then not letting them go.
What I’m describing is what the Empire did and also I’m describing slavery.

Jim Huss: Do you like propaganda?
Me: Yes I do!
I'm eagerly looking forward to more. :)
Working a video entirely dedicated to the first order!
@@IAmJimHuss proud of you
This is NO propaganda.
Propaganda is a neutral term. It's neither good nor bad
You wouldn't say a lawyer is a propagandist would you? No.
You would say he makes good or bad arguments.
Propaganda is no different. It's an argument. It can be good or bad.
Propaganda? The movies are propaganda! This is calling it out 😎
“In Chinese, his name is Keith” 😂
That 40 virgins closing-sentence was hilarious.
To be honest the thing that always irked me about the whole thing with anakin being taken from his mother was that qui gon literally could have just killed Watto and nobody would have bad at an eye
Yeah but he had to abide by the law of the outer rim. I mean what would an entire planet independent of the republic think of an agent of the republic murdering one of their citizens and abducting two slaves and doing whatever else that they wanted?
Who is he to kill an honest businessman following local rules
Hes a jedi wtf do you mean "just kill him" Qui-gon is one of the most counselor counselors ever he was not a fighter he was a diplomat and a scholar if anything, he was not going to blatantly defy the jedi code for something so trivial, he simply took the boy.
@@MichaelFebles-cn8mi excuses that guy was a slavery anyway
@@MichaelFebles-cn8mi Oh, so because Shmi was a woman, she's trivial to you? Typical reble scum and their discrimination.
I know you're trolling, but you're right. The jedi are so evil and the sith are good.
Actually, both factions kinda sucked. A lot. I'd rather go with the ancient Jed'aii, who proceeded the Jedi and Sith. They actually knew how to get shit done.
If this isn’t a joke, didn’t the sith attempt to kidnap a bunch of 1 year olds and when the Jedi attempted to return them they tried to dump them in lava?

This channel is a diamond in the rough
Thanks. Glad you like it
I knew it. The rebels with Lucas has gaslighted history. I’m so ashamed.
Even though you are being tongue-in-cheek with these videos, and even though we can all accept at the end of the day that the Empire was evil, it's hard to deny that the Republic was incompetent and the Jedi were impotent at best and shady at worst. I never understood why slavery was a thing, either. Surely droids are cheaper and easier to keep in line?
Matt Murphy whait has sombody poster these on r/palpatine did nothing wrong?
And not just droid, what about clones?
Maybe droids are expensive?
after playing swkotor, i think the jedi devolved alot since they actually started doing politics heavily
The treatment of droids in star wars is also slavery. That's part of the dark comedy of the series.
Another point for the geonosions, turns out the Jedi assassinated their queen and as bugs this lead to their extinction, especially combined with the bloody Jedi occupation of the planet. #order66justified
I think the Jedi perspective is greatly underrepresented here. I have the text of what I believe is a Jedi leaflet found on Tatooine:
The Geonosian insects are vermin; they have allied themselves with the international and intergalactic central credit issuers, and their collaboration with our enemies has been met with the only just retribution: the destruction of the Geonosian race in the galaxy!
On order of palpatine...
I'm looking forward to the following documentaries:
"Zombiephobia: the roots of genocide"
"Umbrella is a private company, leave them alone"
"Dr. Robotnic: the opressed man of science"
Clearly chubaca and his clan were not slaves, they were tried for thier crimes and sentenced to hard labor.
When it premieres in 66 minutes
Good, good

awesome series ....
Thanks. Glad you like it
I personally agree. At the end of the day ep 1-3 are all just about a few systems wanting to avoid tax and getting out of the burocracy associated with the republic. I completely sympathize with the seperatists and I cant really see the empire as such a bad thing either.
And it isn't like a bunch of rich systems that are doing this because they are power hungry or something, it's a bunch of systems that are canonically treated horribly. They get no benefits of being in the Republic besides getting taxed. It's an American revolution situation.
Like some of the rebelling systems' neighbor was a giant slug alien cartel region that the Republic just let sit around since its inception. One that helped maintain slavery in that region and regions apart of the Republic.
The separatist were the good guys who got played by the sith and led to their extermination and genocide of one of their members races. Partly helped by the Jedi, not even joking in the clone wars show Anakin and obi wan kill the last queen of the geonosians.
"Goddamned Al Quaeda gets 40 virgins and this guy can't even get a fancy collar"
LOL
I always like the emperor because he had such a good taste for comfy chairs. Also, people say that I would look like the emperor in a couple of years. Which is really a great compliment!
Hail Palpatine!
I like the the Idea. But the clones do show high level of thought. So i think it is wrong to call them souless
They all have their own personalities as well
Artificial intelligence can have higher level of thought than humans and it's still only phylosophy to consider them people or not. And it's even greater phylosophy to say humans have souls in the first place.
Wow! I thought the Empire was bad, but then there’s Michigan 😂🤣😂
This is fourth video in a row I've watched of this lol. You are hilarious and have interesting points
3:31 you bouta catch these hands for my boys 99, Rex, Echo, Fives, etc
"Princesses" don't exist in a Democracy, they are royalty. The Empire wanted to get rid of them. Vader wanted to bring "order to the galaxy" without enriching himself. He had few possessions. A true hero!
You will own nothing and be happy
I wish my country would be like the Empire, things would be far better...
I bet most countries would be better if they were galactic super powers.
That's for sure, at least things would be far better organized and efficient, also more fair.
@@IAmJimHuss, they really wouldn't be. Trust me, people have tried. It doesn't work. Oftentimes, the only thing that happens is the empire making loads of useless wars, mismanagement, and ultimately leads to its bloody collapse where loads of people die. Democracy exists for a reason.
Shock Trooper TV that only happens when unnecessary revolts happen that want to take down a fairly component government that's actually good at governing.
@@thanujadasni8494, that's the only scenario in which an empire falls? Seriously?
What a fascinating look at objective evidence! Seriously you have completely changed my views on who is good vs who is not.
This is actually very convincing! Love it! Can't wait to get into this discussion at school!
When he said "even if the empire did enslave the wookies, whats wrong with that?" I instantly got up my nerves and was like "ayo what u say?"
The sounds the Wookies make are a full blown language in the Star Wars universe. Chewbacca for example makes a wookie sound and then Han Solo responds to him like as if he knows exactly what he's saying everytime. That probably means they're at least smart enough to make their own native language. Han Solo also trusts Chewie enough for him to be a co-pilot for the Millennium Falcon.
As a resident of Toledo, I support every single point you've made in this video.
Dude, I LOVE the shade you threw at Michigan 😂😂
👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘
Utterly savage. Never stop making videos, please.
Strong arguments backed by good evidence. You had me hooked from the beginning
Anakins “regrettable Jedi faze” 🤣🤣🤣
I like how in the 1st part he contradicted himself with the lasers/lightsabers colors
Mate, you are hilarious. Thank you.
8:09 That is true, and it involves the mother of a prominent Jedi apprentice, while the Jedi are still prominently in power! I never could figure that one out... It is just assumed family solidarity is secondary to geographic distance (in a world chock full of spaceships)... Or secondary to the sect.
This was funny as hell!
The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing. Great content 👌
Hail to the glorious Sheev Palpatine! Long live the Emperor!
7:25 fun fact about a fun fact. In Spanish we don't say Qui Gon Hinn. We say Qui Gon Yinn.
See the joke is that I am an American. I don’t speak a second language 🤣🤣
and this is exactly why I have the emblem of the Galactic Empire on my jacket.
Tatooine is an outer rim planet meaning its controlled by the Hutts. If the galactic republic would have tried to outlaw slavery it would mean a war with the Hutts. Just a small mistale you made, anyways great vid.
Hut space wasn't the whole outer rim, wasn't even most of it
Gonk Droid it wasn’t in Hutt space but it was controlled by the Hutts, they had much influence especially in the outer rim
This video reminds me of the five good Roman emperors: Nerva, Trajan, Hadrian, Antoninus Pius, and Marcus Aurelius. They brought prosperity and stability to Rome. They built great infrastructure, and the arts flourished in Ancient Rome. These emperors were tolerant of many religions. While you may scream about the lack of Democracy in the empire, I don't see any evidence that the Jedi are bringing Democracy to the galaxy. The "light" side of the force would become the galaxy's official religion. Art deemed to be from the "Dark" side would be abolished. The takeover of the galaxy by the Jedi, would lead to a galactic Dark Age.
The whole "light side, dark side" is also a head scratch!.. I mean the whole lot is some largely invisible power.. I never saw any healing from the light side, yet the dark side did get a mention about reviving or preventing death.. So what is the actual meaning of these two sides of what appears to all be telekinesis?
On another note.. What's the real deal with democracy?.. it is portrayed as the best from of government.. but any free thinking individual can clearly see it is a mere mask covering a highly corruptible.. easily manipulatable "game" that people of power put in our faces under the guise of "freedom".
We vote for A LEADER.. chosen from.. "members of the same gang".. then they dictate what they want to do while in power!, while the opposition plays "oh no you don't".. it's all a side show!
wouldn't true Freedom be more like: the politicians creating new laws... and we vote if we want it or not?. why is this not a thing? has any culture ever tried it? No. because any person who ever desires power over others is inherently evil and will not relinquish any of that power to anybody else. our whole world is dictated by greed.
Am I wrong?
P.S. sorry to hit this on you. Especially a year after you commented.
They hurt animals! That thing Obi was riding in 3 got shot by a canon.
Well played bud, I've just watched the entire series, and all I can think is "angry upvote".
Yeah, it actually IS pretty fucked up the way the Trade Federation could just invade Naboo.
That's like if Pennsylvania just up and invaded Vermont or something. And NO ONE CARED or did anything about it.
Yeah, but in all honesty, no one cares about Vermont when it isn't being invaded either😂😂😂
And clone who were also souless
Clone Wars: Am I a joke to you?
I think you unknowingly used the Chewbacca defense...
Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed comments section, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. His tribe was enslaved and taken to the planet Kessel. But Chewbacca is chained up on the planet Mimban. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
That's because Chewbacca was used as an "execution beast," sorta like those 3 monsters in the arena scene from AOTC.
The Empire needed Chewbacca to get rid of the evil Rebels, they gave Chewbacca a job and food. Then Chewbacca was found by the evil Rebels who twisted his mind and made him fight in a war. The Rebels were the real ones to slave him.
(Head spontaneously explodes)
@@help-pj2ep Which was easy to do, because Wookies are shown to have an average IQ of 57 and struggle with basic logic.
Although I'm pro-empire, I'd like to counter the bloodless war statement. Yes the Geonosians are bugs, and thr clones are living droids, it is impossible for it to be a bloodless war. It is implied that some time has passed between episode 2 & 3. As we are only basing off movies, we cannot know how much. However, let's say we lowball this down to a year. Do you think that the clone wars only had two battles? No, there would no doubt be battles across the galaxy. Several of these might've been in cities, which would most certainly get civilians killed.
Even the battle of Coruscant is not excused from this. In the opening crawl, General Grievous attacks the planet and kidnaps Palpatine. Even if we can assume that Palpatine was in space when he was kidnapped, this preventing civilian casualties, the battle occurred over the planet. During the battle, we've seen ships engaging each other constantly, and even several destroyed. This means falling debris towards the planet. Which means that civilians probably being crushed by said debris.
For future propaganda, I'd recommend taking into account outside factors. For the Empire!

I've always held the unfashionable opinion that the Jedi were a bunch of intolerably smug, self-righteous a**holes, and I'm pleased to see this support my theory
your voice is so calming damnn.
I am calling Obi Wan Kenobe's master Keith from now on.
I do wanna say i wouldn't say the clone wars was victimless if you stray away from the movies, clones have been shown to have different personalities like with rex and others. And to add from my knowledge almost every droid in starwars is sentient and are regularly mistreated, definitely seen by the b1 droids like that one poor Commander who was just promoted getting filleted by yoda. But we're focusing on the movies so my point is not valid right now
Yeah the clone theory has me a bit two sided.. I mean.. once created, they then gain their own experiences from hence froth.. even in training they would begin to differ. One out of so many would get promoted for example.. others may envy. The promoted clone may realise that others did the same as he did but were not promoted... ect
Makes me proud to wear my join the imperial army shirt.
The biggest problem with destroying the Empire, what do you replace it with?
How does a new republic, not bend over backwards for those groups who were hurt by them empire?
Leading to new problems.
The only feasible way would be having, Leia become the new Emporer (sp?)
The good Alabama brother had me rollinf
The Republic outlawing slavery on Tatooine would be like the United States outlawing the right to own property in Sudan or some shit. It can't do it because it doesn't have jurisdiction there.
When it comes to people choosing between Jedi vs Sith i always like to ask "Who would you rather party with?"
Matthew 16;19 doesn't say The Clones have no Souls.
Dooku was in charge. Dooku wanted to change the Republic due to its corruption. That's why he left. The Sith Funded the clone army. And the droids.
"In Chinese, his name is Keith" LMAOOOOOOO
Clones are note soulless! #watch the clone wars
I think we need a follow up now that Andor’s come out.
0:47 Senator Joe Lieberman really looks good in blue.
2:21 I was unaware of the Alabama Brother.
in the Extended universe , the empire actually ends slavery on many planets.
Tattooine was literally outside Republic space. It was in Hutt space. The Republic literally didn't exist there. It was still Hutt space in Empire days. The Empire didn't even engage in imperialist expansion!
And remember when Chewbacca was playing the video game and when he was losing Han Solo said Wookiee’s settle disagreement by tearing peoples limbs off
It is actually funny how they tried so hard to make the Rebellion good - and a decent analysis shows at least a SERIOUS level of grey on both sides and definitely not a lot of "light" on the side of the Jedi. It is ultimately amazing how most people root for - essentially definitely not the good, and most likely, as you point out, quite the bad side.
Btw., totally love the "wookie have small genitalia" hit ;) NICE.
X-wing fuel doesn't melt durasteel beams
You already delivered that scene with Chewbacca trying to eat his roasted chicken, while four baby chickens stare at him in `unspeakable horror & betrayal-suffered´ !!! (Another video). 🤕
Republic ineffective due to bureaucracy...hmmmm what does THAT sound like in real life???
I dont agree with the clones being soulless. Because they obviously did in the clone wars. Jango Fett was a bounty hunter. And even the droids showed some level of sentientcy
Speaking of galactic slavery, I realized Darth Vader agreed with Jabba that he will seize Han Solo, have Boba Fett turn him in to Jabba. Then Luke and his friends will go recue Han and destroy the biggest slave trader in the outer realm, Jabba. This is either a coincidence or a testament to Darth Vader's calculating aspect when it comes to bringing down those who have wronged him from the beginning, his slave traders and the one that is in charge of the trade, Jabba.
On the “Wookiee question” I support your view. In particular, the “small genitalia” argument and the lack of pants seem extremely important to me.
As a fan studying WWII history, you choice of words made me laugh very hard...out loud...in public...and had to awkwardly explain to my Jewish sister in law that was present.
