Do you think the Empire had good social security? Did the Emperor have an actual pay check or did he just get by on government aid?

An official canonization of statements made by people with no authority would need to be put out for that to be the case.

The Empire is an analogy for Nazi Germany though. (The most obvious points being Darth Vader (Vader being a word for Father in German) and Storm Troopers, who's name came from the SS of WWI).

While the Empire is not White Supremacist, it is Human Supremacist to a large degree (Which is one of the reasons Thrawn is such a big deal, he's one of the few non-humans in the Empire's forces).

Look there is no denying that Saw Gerrera has done some messed up things. However you can't refute that BOR GULLET will know the truth. Knowledge is power and power is needed to break free from tyranny. Saw Gerrera has the most knowledge because of BOR GULLET and knowledge is power so therefore Saw has the most power and power is needed to defeat the Empire and Saw has BOR GULLET therefore Saw is needed to fight the Empire therefore Saw and BOR GULLET did nothing wrong.

Sounds legit. I always liked the Empire (but I'm more of a Separatist sympathizer).

Another little known Star Wars fact. The actor for Porkins was too fat for the rebel pilot uniform, so it had to be cut down the back so that he could fit. He also complained about the tight quarters of the X-Wing cockpits.

You can roll with all the factions and scenarios until the big update comes out and there's a ton more shit.

Also, the Pentastar Alignment gets two Star Dreadnoughts. It's fixed in the big update, but right now you'll need to watch your ass about it. Jarrek or whoever also technically counts as a ground unit, so don't Auto-Resolve unless it's a ground battle.

But Plagueis is a Muun. And if you look at Muuns, like San Hill, and then look at Snoke, they look nothing alike.

There is a theory out there that Snoke is Vader reincarnate. But that's mostly because they both have scars on the top of their head, and both of them are pasty white. Then again...there's also a theory that Rey is Anakin Skywalker incarnate, but, I don't believe in either of those...oh well...Maybe Episode VIII will tell us who he really is?

My guess is his origins will be revealed at the end of episode 8 to get people pumped for episode 9

Not really an origins theory, but my reckoning is that he is the danger lurking in the unknown regions that caused Thrawn and the Chiss to contact the Empire.

I'm not so sure. I expect the bug reveal in Ep 8 to be Rey's parents. The only chance I think we have of Snoke's identity being revealed is if he's a well known character

I liked the whole slew of theories concerning who Rey is related to, from Obi-Wan Kenobi's granddaughter to Captain Phasma's daughter.

Also, TR-8R should return as awesome as ever in Episode VII.
