movies/tv Rebel Alliance or Galactic Empire

[Hovershy 3,815]

Which star wars faction do you side with? Luke Skywalker and the rebels? Or Darth Vader and the Empire?

Rebels. The Empire, whilst having order, oppressed many species and wiped out (or tried to) anyone who opposed them. Now, Jedi or Sith is a more interesting question

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

For the Empire! Because they have the coolest armor.

From a government point of view the Empire works like a well oiled machine. Simple leadership simple control. But from a persons point of view, dictating fuckers go away. The Rebel Alliance. Based off of what system of government? Unclear. They seem to operate out of democracy style freedom, most likely wanting to regain the traditions and values of the Old Republic. Not much is known. But I would have to say the Rebels simply because its the closest to Anarchy. Seriously? One government, entire galaxy? You'd think they would expect problems. That goes for all 3, Rebels, Empire, and Republic. Seriously cut it down. The empire did have a very strong and reliable military. Decedents of clones? Perfect. Wiping out a species? Almost successful. The Rebels are very rag tag. Like U.S. revolutionary war style, the only reason they had a chance was because the designer of both the Death Stars fucks up. The Rebels seem like they were just fighting the war,  and if won, they would lose control. Not knowing what to actually do because of focusing on the military tactics so much with only one propaganda and promise. Freedom? Give me a break! Sure America worked out fine.. They would spiral out of control using up resources to try and control what they have taken, all while the remaining Empire will most likely hit back, and hard with their strong military. 

 

- note : the Emire looks badass.

The Rebel Alliance, because they seem slightly less tyrannical.

True, personally I do not  like the Jedi's ways of banning certain things, while it CAN take you over, using inner hatred towards your enemy or using your anger can be a great benefit in battle if controlled. Having a person that can use both powers to his/her benefit would be the scariest enemy to battle (take "The force unleashed" for example. Force unleashed means he can use both sides. Nothing to hold him back. The jedi seem to be protectors, not soldiers nor leaders. The sith however are more tyrannical leaders than anything. Though proved to operate out of the apprentice training style as the Jedi do.

I hate how the Jedi say there must be balance in the force...and then try to annihilate the other side - though I do agree with the idea that there should be balance (the Sith represent acting on passions etc which is good unless your passions can hurt others a la Darth Sidious, thus some order is needed). Also the Sith have cooler powers

Well agreed. The sith have much powerful powers since they call upon their anger to lash out. Have the Jedi ever said they wanted to completely rid the galaxy of Sith?

Have you read much Star Wars lore? Because in that they basically committed genocide against the Sith (yes, it's cannon).

No, they cited "balance" and what-not.

 

If I was in charge, i'd blast them sonsab*cthes into space.

Not much I just love to study sometimes. So the jedi portray themselves of keepers of the peace while trying to to push a genocidal campaign to the top of a to do list. Huh. Bastards.

The Empire. Yes they were evil, but really only at the top. Most people probably didn't notice a difference from when the Empire took over and when the Republic was still around.

Try telling that to the people of Alderaan.

Hell yea for the armor, .   Shame the Rebels didn't have something like that.   In addition, the Imperial Walkers..............just love driving them in Battlefront. (Although, my favorite vehicle is the Snowspeeder).

The Force Choke is a definite, .  As well as the Force Lightning.

Rebels. The Alliance wants to restore the Galaxy to bring a democratic republic. Also, they don't commit genocide like the Empire did.

[Castle Bleck 19,390]

Thrawn actually tried to make the Empire somewhat decent morally.

Well... they didn't notice.
