But when we asked Lucas if he was curious to see what Abrams has done with the new “Star Wars,” Lucas said, “Not really.”

Aw don't be pouty.

What if Darth Vader offset his actions with the occasional grand charitable gesture? What if, despite being an intergalactic asshole, he was pro gay marriage and single payer health care? What ... if ... ?

Has it ever really been made clear what the Empire's policies were on anything? Like, they just seem to like putting stormtroopers everywhere. And then when people rebel against stormtroopers being put everywhere, they blow up a planet, I guess.

people always talk about the blowing up planets but what about the radical welfare reforms?

Merdeyeux, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 13:32 (nine years ago) link

welfare reform doesn't get much more radical than straight-up destroying a planet tbh

the most compelling evidence that the Empire isn't evil comes in The Empire Strikes Back when Darth Vader is battling Luke Skywalker. After an exhausting fight, Vader is poised to finish Luke off, but he stays his hand. He tries to convert Luke to the Dark Side with this simple plea: "There is no escape. Don't make me destroy you. . . . Join me, and I will complete your training. With our combined strength, we can end this destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy." It is here we find the real controlling impulse for the Dark Side and the Empire. The Empire doesn't want slaves or destruction or "evil." It wants order.

Most dictators want control so everything will be the way they think it should be ("order") at the expense of others and their ideologies.

Evan, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 17:30 (nine years ago) link

in the one SW slashfic novel I read it's clear that the Emperor believes he's a good man.

How, I dare to wonder, do they square that with their embrace of the "Dark Side," hate, anger, etc.?

Anakin's temptation in the prequels would have been a lot more convincing if it actually was played as more like what Yoda describes in the original films: it's not stronger, but it's quicker, so you could come to believe you were doing the righteous and necessary thing, directly, while those fuddy-duddy Jedis dither over whether it's the right thing to do. He should have been tempted by, like, resolving the war quickly by a gradually worsening series of atrocities, not by the promise of a magic anti-death-in-childbirth potion, coming soon from the Emperor. Also, tangent and old news but maaaaaaan how lame is it that "he helped the Emperor hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights" means "he killed a bunch of kids this one time and then the Emperor activated his robot kill program"? It's tough for me now to remember the days when I imagined the "Jedi Knights" as kind of a small number of widely-dispersed do-gooders, out there righting wrongs and guarding peace without much fanfare or institutional structure.... like how Gandalf and Radagast do their own thing but just kind of bump into each other once every hundred years.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 17:39 (nine years ago) link

For Palpatine to learn that Anakin would join him for the sake of saving Natalie Portman and her sob was the first of a series of disappointments.

I always figured the Emperor was self-consciously evil. He knows he's a huge prick and loves it. That might not be a subtle or coherent representation evil, but he's there as a kind of imaginary limit against which the more conflicted characters are measured.

good guys don't shoot lightning out of their fingertips and he really wanted to do that

linda cardellini (zachlyon), Wednesday, 10 December 2014 17:54 (nine years ago) link

Yeah, his second-in-command is someone he has psychologically tortured, and that's how it's supposed to be - he might replace him with someone else that he's psychologically tortured, leading up to him taking his father's place by killing him - and that would be fine too. It's a win-win world when you're the Senior Sith Lord.

Hi I made you some pronoun salad, hope you like it.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 10 December 2014 17:56 (nine years ago) link

xp KOTOR games were actually quite good at that, if you choose light or dark you get broadly similar powers (suggestion vs overwhelming their mind etc), but only one gives you lightning fingertips.

Making me wonder if there are any good sci fi prequels, cf. how the SW prequels and our old friend Prometheus try to flesh out something that's just suggested in the original text ('Jedi Knights' and the dead navigator) and fail
