But there's no blazing new ships and shiny new armor, so I'mma have to pass.

I really enjoyed it! The... well everything was just fun. Way better then TLJ.

is there a I am inevitable/I am Iron Man meme but with paluatine and ray yet? I need to see it

Dooku was the hero we needed.

This is wholly correct.

But we did dig our metal heels in and dared the Republic to come after us.

Oh yes and live under a bunch of the galaxy's most evil corporations and Sith Lords. As nice as Dooku is (to diplomats), he couldn't possibly stop all that greed.

The Galactic Republic Senate is ass tier, but hey it's not as bad as the Big Galactic Clanker Corporation Boogaloo if they got the reins.

Damn Seppies, they're coming out of the walls tonight!

[The first Galactic Republic]

Is it weird that, other than Han and Leia depending on where you draw the cutoff point, Palpatine was the only sequel character to have any sex?

I definitely think it was much better than The Last Jedi too.

"I want to live in a monarchy despite the fact that I'd be a filthy, illiterate, possibly diseased, and disposable peasant with no rights whatsoever." That's how you meatbags sound when you say things like this.

At best, I'd be a Grand Moff doing important things at Palpatine's side enjoying the Coruscant high life, and at worst- I'd be an Imperial Stormtrooper enforcing order from world to world via military campaigns/police actions which I'd enjoy anyways.

There is just no way I'd become like Maketh Tua or Aresko and Grint. Before it ever got to that point, I'd request a demotion or a reassignment to a different role where I could benefit the Empire more or be less likely to fail my superiors.

If you value obedience and a firm direction, the Galactic Empire is a good deal. It is a fair trade to serve the Empire if the Empire did a lot for you such as providing for an Imperial Academy and so forth, where you live.

No, at best you'd be in the Imperial Army where you get to be bantha fodder to the point where 40k PDF look like elite infantry by comparison.

Sai your chances of becoming a Grand Moth are tiny. Your at best much more likely to become captain of some random Star Destroyer. Is that tiny amount of power really worth supporting a government as evil and despicable as the Galactic Empire?

I mean, are you suggesting he'd actually be able to pass the requirements for commanding a Star Destroyer? He'd probably be one of the people who live on the planets said Star Destroyers oppress.

[Ameriganastan]

The level of ego in this thread.

We're all sarcastic nerds. If any of us joined the empire, we'd be the janitors on a dead end outpost in the middle of nowhere and probably get flogged for smarting off to a superior.

Hell yes, commander of a Star Destroyer is pretty good. I like having a personal fiefdom being granted to me, even if it's only minor in the grand scheme of things.

If I recall correctly, Luke Skywalker initially wanted to become an Imperial Stormtrooper as a means of getting off of Tattooine because living there as a moisture farmer kind of well, sucks. Its a backwater planet that is primarily desert and isn't quite a lush or prominent core world or a world with a ton more economic opportunity like Coruscant.

If you get a means of moving off of a planet like Tattooine via something like an Imperial Academy, you can get a better life than can be had in staying, theoretically speaking.

Certain events in A New Hope however, got Luke Skywalker onto a drastically different path.

This^.
Han Solo wanted to be an imperial pilot but his tendency to question orders got him shifted to an Imperial Army battalion reserved for dissenters and rejects.
The Galactic Empire is NOT a meritocracy.

By 'certain events' do you mean Imperial Stormtroopers murdering his only family and burning his home?
Yeah who wouldn't want to join the Empire after that?

i would.

especially after they blew up a planet full of hippies.

It would be funny if he did though. He runs off to become a Stormtrooper, and Obi-Wan just sits there pissed off that he wasted 16 years on some scorched ballsack of a planet keeping an eye on him.

Except the Empire isn't the sort of organization that is just gonna let you request a new assignment or take a step back. Once you're in, you're theirs and you do whatever the hell they want, your opinions and wishes be damned.

It can perhaps be done if there is an opening elsewhere within the Imperial hierarchy/ongoing roles and you're persuasive with decision makers.

It simply isn't true that absolutely no one benefited from the Empire. I contend that its more accurate to say that it had both winners and losers like any system. The Empire aligns with many of my values by default, so I see it as worthwhile to conform to the Imperial system or do good by it, at least until I'm in a no win situation and I have no choice but to defect or go into hiding. I have reason to believe however, that I could have an Imperial career as bright as Tarkin or Thrawn's.

Its aspirational to want to be part of an orderly but very powerful and magnificent military and civil force, reigning over the galaxy. All of the military buildup was worthwhile to be ready for the Yuuzhan Vong.

[Impaled Nazarene]

Except Luke didn't want to be a Stormtrooper he wanted to be a pilot and jumpship like Biggs did. Hell, Biggs even told Luke that he was going to jumpship after graduation. Also if you recall Luke directly told Ben that he hated the Empire.

This is all in canon too.

You know what would have been helpful against the Yuuzhan Vong? An army of Jedi.

This shows the moral decrepitude of the Empire. There was no higher goal. There never is in dictatorships. In the end, everything serves the power base of Palpatine.

By the way, it does not really matter whether you think you could do well. In fact, it makes it worse. If you willingly become part of a genocidal regime that enforces the worst of race-based chattel slavery, it just means you lack any moral character. The more you try to convince us that, actually, you would do well, the worse your choice actually gets.

Nah. The only winners in the Empire was Palptine. Everyone else lost. And really your views align with the Empire. A government that is for all intents and purposes nothing less than fucking evil? I mean I know your you Sai but come on.

The type of Imperial officer I identify most with are the "Low Key" or the "Good Imperial." I'd be either one of those but am more likely to be low key if I'm still the invisible type within that context in terms of behavior.

This video explains well the 6 most common types of people encountered within the Galactic Empire's hierarchy.

[The Krogan]

Ahhhh yes, I too would love to serve an empire where you're more likely to be killed by your fellow imperials then any rebel.

Pretty sure a single mouse is better at taking care of the Yuuzhan Vong than any amount of Jedi...
All jokes aside, I personally think the Sith would be better suited to take out the Yuuzhan Vong than the Jedi.
