When the Empire hires a lawyer.
😍😍😍😍💯💯💯😁😁✌✌✌
damn thats the best lawyer in the entire galaxy
He's employing the Chewbacca Defense
@Félix Berbakow It is an EVIL empire.
@@gbonkers666 nice reference XD
So what you're basically saying is that Vader brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to his Empire
His new empire?
@@autobotproductions1244 dont make him kill you
@@autobotproductions1244 don’t make him kill you
Honored to be your 66th like
@Die in the face my allegiance is to the republic. To democracy!
I love how he summarized bounty hunters as private contractors
Thats what bounty hunters indeed are. Darth Vader is just giving job for these bounty hunters and Darth Vader said he will pay a lot for the bounty hunter who catches Millenium Falcon and brings them alive. So of course the bounty hunters listen then, when the empire itself has the most money in the entire galaxy, so they can pay you a lot, if you do what they want you to do. Empire can pay much more, than Jabba the Hutt could ever pay for these bounty hunters.
@@jout738 that don’t make it morally alright bro😂
@@jager-hill well what makes it morally wrong?
So it was morally okay that there was a slavery on Tatooine during Republic and they were just closing the eyes on it? Jabba didn't pay taxes, and everything about Jedi's is to serve for those corrupted monarchy retards, not noticing inconvenient stuff for politicians?
@@jager-hillor wrong.
The destruction of Aldaraan was absolutely no big deal , even their own princess didn't seem to care .
She pretty much just shrugged it off and flirted with her brother .
@Homer He's not. That's literally how it is.
And let's not forget the slaughter on Corucant. Trillions of men and women of the Empire slaughtered.
Surprisingly in the expanded universe with the Republic history (it could be canon idk) Aldaraan was one of the old civilizations back of sleeper ships
she just remembered her stash, thats all.
Heard someone say the death star reduced Aldaraans crime rate to zero
Let's face it the Empire gave jobs to millions of Wookies, reduced the unemployment level on Alderann to zero,defeated a cult of Zealots and Helped a disable war veteran find a new lease on life
That disabled war veteran was Darth Vader.
Kaze Kaizaki that is rebel propaganda the Wookiee’s that are peaceful get to live in homes with their families only the rabid ones had to be controlled
Kaze Kaizaki, we’ve never seen an enslaved Wookie in any of the movies. The entire concept of Wookie enslavement is an expanded universe thing, not canon.
In point of fact, the only slavery seen through the entire saga were droids and the on non-aligned world’s such as Tatooine and Jakku.
Scott Jefferson in Star Wars Rebels like one of the first episodes we saw Wookiee slaves
Nicole7073 that’s an expansion.
And rip the stormtrooper that said ”set to stun!” but got shot and killed by Leia anyways.
Rip
Terrorists
@Imperial Death Trooper DT-725 Speaking of things that don't make sense... Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk. But Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now think about it; that does not make sense!
Why would a Wookiee, an 8-foot-tall Wookiee, want to live on Endor, with a bunch of 2-foot-tall Ewoks? That does not make sense! But more important, you have to ask yourself: What does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense! Look at me. I'm a lawyer defending a major record company, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca! Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense! None of this makes sense! And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests.
He did not die he only went unconscious !!!
Allison Priddy tell that to yourself, but it’s canon, he died.
Let’s be real here, the Jedi actually are the villains. Instead of helping anakin overcome his fears, they tell him to “let go”. The big bad Palpatine actually gave him a solution and his family only died cuz Anakin wanted power over anything else.
well the jedi are a cult that recruits people through human trafficking so yeah
Ok let's be real. Anakin was a weak willed person, who let his attachments get the best of him. His mother. He killed all the sandpeople. And he probably liked that too. Then he fell in love and married, something Palpatine used to his advantage. "Only I can save the ones you love" and Anakin fell for it hook line and sinker. Now I won't deny the fear and anger. But with proper training, he would have been passed all that. But Anakin was weak willed and did what he wanted. Yoda lasted 900 years without attachments like wives, children or some other mortal trivial thing to interfere with his training.
@@chriswood1210yes and The empire f**king destroyed alderaan
@@chriswood1210but yoda didnt fully master the force. You must be able to balance to dark and the light. Thats what luke showed, you can have attachments and still be a Jedi. Having something to fight for makes you a better warrior
@@emmawatzon ok and? That doesn't contribute anything. Jedi could've avoided lots of deaths and suffering when the Sith only lead to more
Darth Vader just wanted his children. He was a single father who was a victim of child/family court who had mediators, counselors, and the other parents family turn his children against him. He never ordered to kill Luke and Leia, he just wanted them with him and hoped they would be apart of the Empire and not be rebels wanted by government.
When the time came, Darth Vader gave his life for his son Luke, just like any other father would. I’ve always thought The Empire were the good guys and Rebels were bad guys.
Thank you for this video. It has a like and multiple shares.
And he was right all along. Look what kind of people raised his kids! Both felt they are brother and sister and they still kissed each other like it is nothing. That brave little handicapped father is a hero for all of us.
Anakin/Vader really just wanted to take care of his family from day one. People tried to distance him from his wife and kids, and that was what brought on the darkness.
The death star is flat.
😆😆😆
If the death star is round then why are stormtroopers like this (shows stormtrooper) and not like this (shows curved stormtrooper)? Take that round death star-ers!
Best comment on this video lol
The why is it seen as round in the movies which are cannon
@@bibigamer502 cause they are lying
There actually is a reason for vader being on the dark side. The Jedi left his mother in slavery and the first time he sees his mother in ten years is the last.
Not to mention, it was the Jedi who chose to leave her on Tatooine when they easily could've freed her, and several others if they really wanted to. The Jedi claim to be morally good. They claim to be loyal to The Republic as well. The Republic allegedly outlawed slavery. And yet, they constantly turn a blind eye to it. The only time the empire appears to use slave labor, however, is with the Wookies. The Wookies who can't speak and don't wear pants. Clearly, they aren't people, they're animals. The empire are the good guys, and the Jedi are not.
@@MasquedJustice i heard from another comment that the wookies were actually paid lol
Idk tho, havent watched it yet. (Dont ask why, i never get the time)
According to the novelization, Shmi Skywalker did not want to leave Tatooine as she fell in love with Cliegg Lars, got her freedom and wanted Anakin to be away from her so that he can fulfill the destiny that the Jedi told her about. Padme tried to look for her at some point but couldn’t find her as Watto’s shop moved elsewhere and Shmi was living in the middle of nowhere. If she came to Coruscant, Palpatine would probably kill her to try and get Anakin to fall to the dark side.
@@MasquedJustice The Jedi follow the ways of the force. If the force wanted his Mom alive and off Tatooine, it would allow it
@@MingusDynastyy So what your saying the force is: Yo Homie Qui Gon lets free this child of slavery because Im sure he would make a good Jedi but leave his mother and several thousand other slaves to rot and be sold and eventually die
Dude, that Lando Calrissian thing drove me crazy! When they made the decision to make Lando a General and put him in charge of the entire fleet, did no one stand up and say, "Wait, isn't he the guy that betrayed his friend and almost got us killed by making a deal with Darth Vader, just to save his own skin?"
You get enough evil sheepherders in your force, they do rather tend to take over. You've seen through the Alliance disguise, which even Lucas didn't "foresee". Rey for new emperor (which is actually the old emperor possessing her)! Hail Rey! Even bad girls can turn good, thanks to our original emperor!
Considering what some rebel cells did, Lando is actually one of the most ethical guys in their roster
When I watched the movie. I didnt even much pay attention, when Han and Lando were made generals, but it seems the rebel alliance does not have bigger charchters for generals, so thats why they make Han and Lando generals, when their one of the biggest charchters in the rebel alliance. Han and Lando general role still didnt have much in it, than to be complete maniac with their millenium falcon.
Who did some things off screen in between, keep that in mind. He's clearly done a lot for the Rebellion and he had a whole city to worry about
He also saved Han from Jabba so he redeemed himself
Darth Vader’s first words after he got the suit on was “Is Padme ok?”
Actually it was "yes, my master."
I just realized something. If the rebels had never stolen the Death Star plans, The Empire may not have destroyed Alderaan.
True
They would've picked another planet with almost the same amount of innocents.
@@GabrielSiberon07 nah nah, nuclear deterrent. Nobody wants to glass an entire planet, it's an intimidation move, which they only felt the need to pursue the creation of because of the rebellion
@@cancerconnoisseur Sure, an intimidación move, killing thousands of innocents AND esentially making a massive genocide and a war crime. Surely that's an intimidation move.
@@GabrielSiberon07 Building the Death Star was an intimidation move. Destroying the Death Star caused more damage than destroying Alderaan in the grand scheme. Destroying alderaan, a planet full of terrorist sympathizers impacted only the lives of those from Alderaan. Destroying the Death Star plunged the galaxy into an economic depression that likely led to far more deaths than one meager planet.
@@cancerconnoisseur er, I can't tell if your joking or not, but if you aren't, well, the empire didn't have to destroy alderon. While yes, they did sympithise with the rebellion, it's not like the entire planet decided to declare war on the empire.

Carlo Bayani that is a thing I’ve bean wandering about for so long
Actually the storm troopers had great aim, earlier in a new hope old ben and Luke come across Jawas that were attacked stating that it could have only been the storm troopers because of the troopers precision and accuracy
He even mentions that "only stormtroopers are that precise"
Precision is how tight the grouping is, not if the grouping is at the right spot.
@@HappyBeezerStudios potato pototo
So who else would it have been? Jabba the Hutt. Suppose it must've been the Rancor monster that killed the Jawas and Uncle Ben and Aunt Beru
@@edgaracajabon9522 idk maybe the Tuskin Raiders who are vicious and roam the planet. The Jawas could have been anyone but there was proof it was the empire. Luke’s aunt and uncle’s deaths aren’t so up in the air. They knew the empire was looking for droids that they had and Ben and beru didn’t roam like Jawas so they wouldn’t have trespassed on raider territory like Jawas would.
obi wan killed them and used it as propaganda to push luke
Not to mention that the Death Star was built with the purpose of countering the threat of the Yuzhan Vong right from the get go but this was never elaborated on in the original Canon.
"Stormtroopers fired warning shots"
This helps canon immensely!
86 warning shots later: "I don't think they take the hint lord Vader".
@@vrykyl6464 LOL!
@@vrykyl6464 just fire more maybe theyre not looking
Vader ordered them to miss just so they could find the rebel base
@@Da-Official-BenBoi6921 was about to say this but saw your reply
For many people, the Death Star tragedy is the Empire’s version of 9/11.
Especially on empirial coroscant
The rebels ARE terrorists.
@Jack the Gestapo do you seriously believe that?
id say more like pearl harbor
#AlderanLivesMatter
to add to the bit about Leia's arrest; if you look, you'll actually notice that the ISD is firing non-kethal warning shots, you can tell because of how the bridge of the Tantiv reacts, and even WITH Shields at full charge, a direct hit to the bridge is gonna shake the absolute hell out of that ship with how powerful ISD cannons are
Thats Because its like The salvos of The battleships of today with The pirate raids, first make a warning shot to alert The pirates yo stop operations if that dosen't work you can aboard The ship like what happens on tantive IV
Also it's the reason why storm troopers specifically miss some of their shots due to them following orders and purposely missing leia and han, they wanted to follow them to the rebels base so that they could end the war craving rebel scum, also the empire is an actually government while the rebels are a monorchy, so it shows how the empire actually gives freedom to the galaxy
Can you be my lawyer?
Me too!

The Stormtroopers bad aim was plot armor for the characters in every other instance the Stormtroopers wiped the floor with every rebel force. Fighting accurately, swiftly and precise.
Despite being satirical in nature ,you have to realize that Some of the workers on the star were probably just normal people hired for the purpose of sanitation/cleaning/cooking/construction etc
Never hurt a soul in their lives and when Luke demolished it...
I believe they used a lot of wookies...
They also had slaves on the death star
Yeah, the empire used a lot of slavery and genocide just for the reason of showing power
Clerks is a good movie
They are also keeping a star killing machine alive. So it’s a lose lose
@Quack I am a DUCK 336th StormCleaner regiment of the 2nd army corps.
The new trilogy makes this video even more true. The fact the new republic fell in only a few decades proves that they never gained public support. Most people in Star Wars prefered the empire, otherwise the first order would not have risen so quickly.
Less than two decades - and they'd clearly been building forces for a long time. I get the impression overall that for most people life was much better under the Empire otherwise how did they garner so much support so quickly.
weimar moment
I like the fact that Jim needed to specify that he was only counting with the evidences shownd in the original trilogy. There're too many things that contradict "The Empire are the good guys" in the entire canon, so he couldn't bother going that path.
I know, like 50 times in Season 1 of Rebels alone, we see clearly evil acts from the Empire
@@Dislike_and_Unsubscribe Making sure merchants have proper permission to sell, arresting suspicious people, retrieving stolen cargo, offering numerous times to buy land and make poor people rich, enforcing speed laws, defending citizens from the terrorists sorry “rebels” yeah totally evil

And we can’t forget that the ever forgiving Emperor Palpatine still found it in his heart to offer Luke a job in the Empire as well as giving Vader the chance for a well deserved retirement so he can relax and spend time with his children. If that isn’t a good guy I don’t know what is.
No because he new the many side effects of the dark side of the force that most don't know about paranoia so bad that you would kill loved ones for power meaning he was planning on having Vader kill luke.
@@Tyleregor4588 r/woosh

@@Tyleregor4588 If Vader killed Luke, threat eliminated. If Luke killed Vader, hey, upgraded new right hand man.
Oh yeah so much so that he was going to kill him for refusing. Oh yeah he's such a good guy
Just so you know, when plot armor isn't a factor the stormtroopers are approx 40x more accurate than any real life spec ops during practice.
Thats Because its not plot armour It was a plan to put a beacon on The Milenium Falcon to research The hidden Rebel base and stop The civil war
Honestly, learning about Jedi I was very confused about how they were the good guys. Many of their tactics, traditions, and values I see as unreasonable.
They were the good guys in the way any militant cult are the good guys, PR and indoctrination

"was" the good guys is correct, "The Empire" is singular, therefore it's "was" rather than "were". The weird bit is the use of "guys". It should be "The Empire was the good guy".
@@timspaceman yeah it was the plural guys for me haha
The whole theory of Stormtroopers being bad shots has always had one major flaw. If they hit the targets that they're shooting at, then these movies wouldn't be very long. The people that they're shooting at have 12 inch thick plot armor protecting them. When they shoot at people when set to stun, or when they shoot at droids, they hit. Plus the one that shot Leia in Jedi, that was a hell of a shot. The clearing between the bunker and the forest was quite large, and the angle would have put Leia sideways with only a bit of her arm sticking out around the corner. Where it hit her arm is right on line with her heart, if her arm hadn't been in the way she'd be dead.
The Roman Empire had brought centuries of prosperity, enlightenment and peace to the lands under it's dominion, and the barbarian hoards that wrought it's destruction only ushered in an age of anarchy and ignorance. The rebels are nothing more than futuristic barbarians: self-serving, power-hungry, violence-addicted degenerates hell bent only on destruction. Darth Vader is not only the most interesting and compelling figure in the story, he is also the one who commands the most respect and...dare I say it ...admiration.
Truth Has been said. Long Live The Empire!
The “good guys” always write history. Long live the Empire
The victor writes the story, but each side was good in there own ways tbh
Just like the Allies, they commited atrocities against the Axis Powers but we barely here about it in school.
@@yesyes-yf6jm but you have heard of it which kinda refutes your point

On a serious note. In the extended lore it is explained that the sith were originally an off shoot of the Jedi who called them selves the Dark Jedi. They did not wish to sacrifice their emotions and chose to leave the jedi. The Jedi order then tracked them down and systematically executed them.
The Republic was backed by the Jedi while the Empire the Sith. So by extension you could actually say that the rebels, whom are the remnants of the Rebpublic, actually are the evil ones.
Well. That is if you accept the extended lore as lore.
Falney Also the Republic then started complete utter genocide of the Sith species after
But with are inherently evil beings, who murder and destroy at will. And they are clearly aware of that.
@@arnolfo2741 technicalities
@@definitelyarussianpaidtrol1406 Its not fair to say the Republic. It was more the Jedi who at the time were in control of Republic troops. And its because of events such as the Great Sith Purge, that the Jedi were turned away from military action for thousands of years by the Ruusan Reformation. The Republic didnt agree with the Jedi in having to murder off a species and causing war over what was seen as a religious dispute. In fact, the only reason it changed was because Palpatine manipulated people to start a war. But thats all old news. Point is, the Republic and the Jedi are separate entities that dont generally answer to each other unless in times of galactic war.
There were so many really cool interesting things to do with the new trilogy... What were they thinking with the mess they put out? A movie about this lore would be awesome with tons of room to shoot off, tons and tons of philosophical questions to explore. They could make 12 movies just setting this up, then another million exploring their battles and characters and back stories... What happened to real art?
Let's not forget that Obi-Wan was training Luke to kill his invalid father, which is why he didn't tell him vader is his father.....
This guy would definitely be an imperial senator and would be astounding. He would literally destabilize the rebels entirely by saying the stuff he does in the video making their followers leave rapidly.
“There is really nothing wrong with the dark side.”
Vader: *Slaughters children*
A group of children? What about the millions that die that died on the Death Star, a weapon used for peace keeping. How many useful technologies and resources were destroyed by the terrorist rebels and cultist Jedi!
Meme Benedict well, then maybe both sides are evil. My point was how can you say nothing is wrong with the dark side (not the empire. They are ok) after murdering Jedi and children who knits wanted peace.

"Moon, what moon, we didn't get any reports of a rouge moon in that area?"

"What; Dark Star, Oh, 'Death' Star what's a Death Star?"

The DEATH STAR that you were forcing me people to build, before you killed my entire race (or so you thought)
I'm more talking about the prequels here but he was "the chosen one to bring balance to the force", yet the council all mistook it for being 'yeah he'll be a Jedi and bring balance by destroying all of our enemies' when really it's just destroying and maintaining both Jedi and Sith.
Thats Because The jedi where assholes using kids as weapons
"They fired warning [not life rounds] shots at the rebels [who were behind cover], but the rebels killed first [in self defense]". The fact that Vader kills someone directly after the boarding whilst inhumanely interrogating a POW is overlooked
Thats what happens when you interrogate rebels or terrorists, The US makes The same with islamic terrorists and its a DEMOCRACY

WELL THEN YOU ARE LOST!!
Memeing aside, the Jedi really did not have a good record before Palps came in.
Honestly, at least the Sith know what they're doing is wrong. Jedi basically were doing morally questionable things like taking babies, some of which turn to the dark side because of Jedi teaching failures, and refusing to learn from obvious mistakes.
At the end of the day for Anakin, the Jedi and Sith are no different, one had the thing he wanted in his eyes, the other were being assholes to him, the choice was obvious.
The Jedi are a child kidnapping cult of sexless space magicians.
They were seriously messed up. They only took children because they were easier to brainwash into never questioning the Jedi creed.
The first time in ages they took someone old enough to know how the galaxy really works - Anakin - and he grew up to destroy them.
Seme they killd lot of pepole on the deth star for like no reson
From George Lucas' point of view the EMPIRE is the EVIL EMPIRE.
Read the crawl.
When looking at the original trilogy exclusively, this video makes so much sense. However, including other material such as spin off shows, comics, etc., it’s hard to see them as anything other than a oppressive regime. The rebels are no saints though.
While the prequels and such came out far later, the movies were never supposed to be looked at in a vacuum so it's hard to separate things from just the original trilogy standpoint
This video is satire
well, it doesn't. it's a satire. At the begging of eps IV, the empire makes a genocide in Tatooine, including killing innocent sand people and the uncle and aunt of Luke, completely unnecessary, the destruction of Leia's planet was just a test (in a populated area) and a scare tactic of torture to obtain information of a prisoner, which isn't compared to the destruction of death star because the death star was a military station, and if isn't enough, was a weapon itself, that had destroyed an entire planet without a good motive. their plans were to rule the galaxy through fear, when they go down the entire galaxy commemorate, which is a good indicator of how people feel about them... why do you think there were rebels in the first place?
i always knew cheering on the empire was a good idea.
Wait he's defending stormtrooper's terrible aim?!
Only one person can do that.
A stormtrooper.
... There goes my secret 🤦🏻♂️
Incorrect! Imperial doctrine requires One magazine of Warning shots to be fired before having engagements against any rebels! These rebel militants are not firing any warning shots! This has to be justified!

I can confirm that us, Stormtroopers, are regularly issued with orders to sieze or incapacitate rebel troops. Our weaponry is quite non-lethal and usualy renders enemies unconsious.
Those rebels shoot to kill, you shoot to incapacitate. Those monsters!

And the Jedi of the Old Republic routinely took babies from their families if they were seen to have Force potential. That is just sick.
Don't forget the Empire did the same thing with stormtroopers--a LOT more stormtroopers. At least the Jedi got to have names

He right tho
Core ideas the empire is based on equal it can not be anything but evil .
The emperor owns everything and everyone and can without or with reason do anything to anyone .
The core idea that by any means necessary to further the empire means morality can not matter and only exist as abstract. Destroy entire planet with billions of beings as nothing more then way test fire weapon when any of the billions of uninhabited planets would work . Killing of all jedi children because risk they may become list goes on and on show why is zero way for empire based on the core ideas shown in films or books to be good or even benign.
@@col.glover4134 😂😂
Nothing was ignored, rewatch the video. It was clearly stated that only the original trilogy was going to be cited.
Jim Huss, you missed some of the main issues, like the Empire being environmentally conscious using solar powered TIEs. While the Rebels continue to use fossil fuels. The entire 8th movie is based on this.
Great point...sequel material🤔🤔🤔
Even the first order’s starkiller base used soler energi......😺
I don't think the space cares about the greenhouse effect...
The 8th one is a alternate universe didn’t actually happen in Star Wars it’s a what if movie lol
The typical liberal material I expect from disney.
Love this point of view, the Empire has always been the symbol of organization and discipline. Somewhere in the Intergalatic Dominican Republc they say: They tree that gives the mangos is the one that gets the stones... (from spanish)
Sure the warning shots thing might be right but we actually learn from close examination that stormtrooper helmets limit visibility horribly
Stormtroopers aren't supposed to be good at aiming...because they were never meant to actually shoot someone....

That's literally what was stated in the film though.
Plus there is the possibility that the death star was meant to fight hostile factions from the unknown regions or from extragalactic space.
sure would have been nice to have both death stars around when the Yuuzan Vong invaded!
That’s actually exactly what is was built for. It was built to keep aliens from a completely different galaxy away in their galaxy.
@@danewood1115 uh, this is late, but no it wasn't. Thrown and the chiss where the only ones who were really aware the vong existance, and thrawn was heavily against the death star. Not to mention, it probably wouldn't even work, cause the vong ships don't have shields. The death star was made for simply scaring the galaxy into not messing with the wmpire
@@godzillakaijuboy Thrawn told Palpatine about the Yuuzhan Vong and he took the threat seriously. That being said the Death Star wasn't a "hiveship killer" as some like to claim. It was a terror weapon, some expanded information even claims it is intended to harness the dark side of the Force. Palpatine in expanded universe had plans for a truly dark side imbued empire down the line. His Dark Empire emerged and fought the galaxy after his rebirth (sounds familiar?). And it featured slews of examples of Sith sorcery.
Thrawn hated the Death Star and considered it pointless which can tell you that from the point of fighting the Yuuzhan Vong it would not have been that viable. Imperial Remnant peeps just loved to come up with BS to justify how the Galactic Empire was right. To their credit the ISD-II was maybe designed with the Vong in mind, given how it fought them better than 20+ years younger capital ships.
The Death Star would do a Hiroshima on the Yuuzan Vong
Lukas brought forth a really good story. Then he told the story of Luke's Dad, Anakin Skywalker. Ian McDermott, Senator then Emperor Palpaltine was the best. It was good to see Peter Cushing in what would turn out to be his last movie.
It makes your points hard to prove when you're voice is drowned out by a planet exploding. Great video, keep up the good work!

"When viewed from the proper context, weapons of mass destruction, are actually weapons of peace."
- my new favorite line in cinema :)
The novelization of A New Hope is even more supportive of this argument with the Empire’s focus on saving lives on Leia’s ship. Vader specifically orders that civilian survivors be left alive and only questioned, and we get to see a very interesting dichotomy just before Leia is captured.
We see the thoughts of the Stormtrooper who leads the group, excited to take her in alive. To simply stun her, receive a promotion, and return home a rich man to provide for his family. Then we hear the incredibly painful process of Leia’s blaster going through his helmet and melting his brain, after he would have merely stunned her.
I laughed when Princess Leia got a visit from the IT-0 Interrogator which punished her for murdering the galactic officer
Commander Buizel Bedwell wait, that shit was at the battle of Scariff... that means the rebels were taking civilians into combat with them ._.
Tbf, the novelizations had a blue Yoda so I'm not sure that's the best basis.
@Vice Admiral Buizel Bedwell
A compelling argument Jim Huss ENT and also Vice Admiral Buizel Bedwell but there is something to consider.
1: While the Galactic Empire is indeed a government on intent seeks to bring peace and order to the galaxy? It discriminates non humans.
In essence the Galactic Empire is really nothing more than the Third Reich, and while they too were a government, genocidal cleansing of those they deemed as, "non pure" meant ghettos, concentration camps, and finally gas chambers. Even until this day this argument is a core argument that we find very common about atrocities in human rights.
So if we are to take this into account? Is the Empire good? Because aliens that are not human in this case? With the exception of Thrawn are indeed inferior leaving other regions like the Outer Rim Territories to become the new slums leaving the Core Worlds to just human?
Yeah....frankly another example exist today between the rich living lap of luxury and the poor forced to suffer in the regions beyond cities.....
North Korea.
So in turn I hate to say it but yeah.....Suck it.....
2: WMDs to keep the "populace" in line.
Again WMDs could be considered a means of fear to bring about order. Sure the Atomic Bomb ended WWII? But THAT same counter argument incited ALSO a Cold War between the United States of America, and also the Soviet Union. A "Cold War" that on more than one occasion could have become both hot, and meant the death of lives and various civilization. In turn fear as a means of control is NEVER the best example and like any fear means eventually "apthathy" toward the oppressor.
Again gas on Jews in the Holocaust?
Gas used on Kurds?
Chemical weapons used in Syria?
You call those good examples?
Negative on that argument. Hate again only breeds hate, or anguish, in that case war, and in time could be good? Or worse than the power already in line. If atrocities were allowed not only would the galaxy in the Star Wars Universe reach a Dark Age.....
Oh wait, LOLZ, it is in the middle of a Dark Age......
THE MOTHER FUCKING DARK AGE OF THE SITH, OMFG FUCKIING BRILLIANT!
SUCK IT!
3: The Empire Was Never A Monarchy But Self Proclaimed Leadership Manipulated By Propaganda
Again I hear this a lot as for those that support the Empire, and sure yeah the Tantive IV might be an Imperial Ship?
Oh wait it was a Diplomatic Ship of the Aderaanian Government! FUCKING BRILLIANT!
See this is what you have to look at here, the Tantive IV was a ship from Alderaan, in other words a ship of the "State" this argument is pretty much debunked by definition if you will the Empire would be considered as "Federal or Higher Central Power" and Alderaan being "State, City State, or Providence". Now depending on the fact if Alderaaan is considered to be allowed autonomous is one thing or another. But IF SO; well then this is more of an argument of jurisdiction. Sure the Empire MIGHT have been collecting data back stolen on oh a Corvette "owned" by Alderaan? AND the Empire DOES have control of the galaxy?
BUT! The thing to look at here the Tantive IV was pursued technically in "International Space" or in this case one Tattooine. Which MEANS the Outer Rim Territories are considered more really as a region "outside" the control of the Empire and ALSO contested and yes this is canon by the "Hutts". So in other words yes while the droids, the data were on an Alderaanian Corvette? Not saying it isn't Corelllian Corvette, but YES none the less a Corvette from "Alderaan". Thus in turn the Emperor could bitch all he wants and use force to seize it? But again he would be in political terms breaking "International Space" seizing a Corvette in space he does not own!
So again to do this what does he do? He takes over Tattooine? To bring peace and order to the Empire?
So already a Corvette shot over a planet he does not own? Violates jurisdiction, out of fit Vader captures or destroys those on board, okay genocide if you will. Then after that to make an example brings Leia to the bridge of Palpatine's and the Empire's Big Ball to Jizzmak all over Alderaan.....
Oh excuse me.......destroy lives on Alderaan.
So we have already in this lets look at it this way.
A: Pursuing a vessel in International or Intergalactic Space.
B: Invading or Forced Entry on a ship outside of it's jurisdiction.
C: Maybe genocide to hide the events.
D: Invasion of a planet to find droids.
Uh yeah......sure their good I know someone else that did the same thing!
Naepolian, and Hitler, OMFG THAT'S FUCKING BRILLIANT!
So already an "Empire" committed violations already on an Intergalactic scale to justify itself would be considered laughable.
But I digress.....LETS SHIT FEST ABOUT THE EMPIRE'S CLAIM TO POWER! >:D
First what do we have, an invasion of Naboo. Jedi sent, and yeah shit goes wrong.
To justify things Sidious, "not in power" sends an assassin oh I'm sorry "apprentice" to keep the Trade Federation in line, kill the jedi with Padame who is queen at this time.
Wow opposition going to kill a noble through assassination. That's ALSO a form of treason. DUH!
After that manipulates events through kickstarting a civil war in II, followed by manipulate an individual through political intrigue to become his apprentice, AFTER he manipulated events to come into power as "Chancellor".
Finally in turn after winning the war, turn and kill a peace keeping force sworn to protect the republic. Manipulate it's Senate, proclaim himself Emperor as ruler for life, and only in the end institute "absolute power" not even through "divine right" unless you consider the Sith, a thank you very much!
Yeah now when there is a rebellion? He's doing the right thing?
Yeah two words, Adolph Hitler. Ring a bell?
So there you go as Padme says it, "So this is how Liberty dies, with thunderous applause."

So allow me to counteract that now.
First as a CZcamsr I declare my divine youtube right to speak....
Put my barrel in your mouth and suck it! >:D
After that I justify it by saying that divine right allowed me and not a damn thing you can do about it. >:P
After that no only do I do that? But I ALSO exercise my divine right to hit that dislike.
Why because I declare divine right, and exercise it!
Now how you like THEM apples pal?
Right not too logical now is it?
Overall interesting video but every truth has a certain point of view. :P
You made some very good points. Granted the video is satire so you did a lot of unnecessary typing since I know The Empire is inherently evil and merely made this video to show how facts can be twisted to fit an agenda. But, if our paths ever meet, I owe you a high-five for giving me my longest comment to date.
even if the stormtroopers did shoot at Obi-Wan, they would accidentally hit Darth Vader since they're so cordial that they can't fire properly
Very good point
The stormtroopers can’t aim because there blasters were mass produced to make a massive army. The Empire was not peaceful.
They probably intentionally miss because whoever trained them probably told them to only fire warning shots, like how Grizzlies bluff charge you just to scare you.
@@mrcreepersubscribe5385 this would reinforce the idea that the empire is a peace loving regime. well said.

You're actually right about the Empire not being prepared for war. It's military and technologies were designed around peacekeeping and policing. That's outright canon (actual canon, not Disney fanon).
some designs were dumb tho like the hover brick could of made it so the storm troopers dont stick out could of added more weapons
When you are doing class debate and get assigned the side you know will loose.
A lot of citizens had good lives in the Empire. Worked, lived, and loved. Look into Arinda Prices storyline, she did quite well once she knew how to play the game. The thing is you have the realize life’s not fair, the ones who play the game and know how to get what they want are the winners. Just like GoT universe, just like Hunger Games universe - the smart crafty ones succeed and the “heroes” aren’t always the good guys.
I think one way to look at this is that the Empire isnt as evil as we thought and the Rebel Alliance isnt as good as we thought. Both did good, both did evil

Rebels never blew up a PLANET with millions of creatures and lives involved. POV??? LoL. Sure sure 😀
@@johnnieblades what about all the lives lost in the destruction of the death stars? Engineers, soldiers, builders
@@johnnieblades Most POWs in Rebel territory were treated well, horribly. The rebels used torture against stormtroopers and the Empire used torture against the rebels. Also, they orbitally bombarded multiple planets during the Yuzhan Vong war, even planets that weren't controlled by the Vong. If anything, the Rebels are just as worst when it comes to war crimes. Though, when it comes to ideals, the rebellion is miles better than the Empire. I'd rather live in a democratic galaxy than an authoritarian one.
