Imperial or Jedi?

>>149412898 (OP)
Well, Jedi. The Empire is cartoonishly evil in most appearances.

>>149412898 (OP)
Old Sith seemed so much better. The rule of two fucked everyone in the ass and I'm surprised the so called most cunning sith in the galaxy couldn't figure it out.

Because Star Wars is Jedi propaganda, yes.

The Empire, like in real life.

No he isn’t, don’t you see the Imp has his gun pointed directly at the Jedi’s chest while the Jedi is currently holding his saber way away from his stomach? Jedi is moments away from death.

Neither

I like George's idea of how the Sith Lords worked better than the EU's Sith Empire that was at war with the Old Republic.

>>149412898 (OP)
Imperial.

>>149415610
Only if his spine is punctured. If the shot hits the lung, then the Jedi cuts the guy on the ground off and survives.

>>149413384

uh, are you in the right thread pal?

Finally, I have a chance to be autistic about Star Wars. After becoming a manchild, one of the many problems with the prequels was George Lucas trying to add nuance with the jedi being corrupt. The jedi and sith schism should have been ideological, and what I mean by that is that the jedi should have been about "the galaxy has cancer, it must be cured through kindness," and the sith motto should have been "the galaxy has cancer, it must be cured through order." That way, you could also have subsets for each side. For example, the rule of two only being liked by the most autistic, OCD kinds of sith.

>>149412898 (OP)
I'd join the Empire.

My values, justice, order, security, killing terrorists and "police brutality is okay if it's used on real criminals" align with them. I'd be an Imperial Jedi, like the Imperial Knights, but I don't think I'd want to be an Inquisitor or one of the, like, thirty different Dark Jedi groups who served under Palpatine in the EU.

If i get to be her padawan and engage in coitus sessions with her then absolutely.

>>149419107
Are we counting the entire population of Alderann as terrorists and real criminals

>>149419275
No. Destroying Alderaan was wrong and a major mistake on the Empire's part. I never said they were perfect.

>>149419290
What about Jedah, and the genocide of the kaminoans? The entire point of the empire is they will brutalize whoever they damn well please and call them a terrorist or criminal after the fact

I don't care which faction I join, I just wanna fly starfighters and marry a cute alien waifu

>>149419323
What about the innocent contractors and slave labor on the second death star?

>>149412926
Now THAT'S a crossover I would pay money to see.

CIS. they have the coolest concept and Ships

>>149419631
I'm sorry but the Death Star was a legitimate military target and the fact that they had slaves on it doesn't help the Empire's case, especially when you consider that the first slaves they used in the project - the Geonosians - were all wiped out after their work was done.

>>149417912

>>149420003
I really hope that Star Wars strategy game coming out does good. Always wanted to command these little guys.

>>149419323
Again. The Empire isn't perfect. The Rebel Alliance is a terrorist organization who even employed criminals on Coruscant to soften the planet for a coup. I dunno what it is, but the Rebels and the New Republic have always rubbed me the wrong way.

It's pretty obvious that nobody in Star Wars thinks slavery is in any way objectionable.

>>149418925
The Jedi kind of were busting through windows, murdering people in public and laffing about it. Bounty Hunters, meanwhile, faced their targets and told them what was up and generally tried to bring them in alive.

Curious.

>>149421516
Why are they kinda cute?

>>149412898 (OP)
I used to like Jedi before they became a bunch of mainstream space hippies. I'd be fine with the empire if they weren't so cartoonishly evil like >>149412951 said.

Ideally, just let every sector do it's own thing, I guess.

>>149415929
Can't recall if it ever got explicitly confirmed, but it's amusing that this is basically
>be cool guy imperial officer
>have love triangle with hot jedi babe from the Skywalker/Solo family
>other guy she's interested in finally loses out so she gets with you
>go on to found a new imperial dynasty of force users with her
>eventually the fucking Sith show up again and your son/grandson goes all evil and fucks it up for everyone again

>>149422790
Because their depiction as utter goofs combined with a lithe and semi-featureless faceplate tends to influence things.
That said

>one of the many problems with the prequels was George Lucas trying to add nuance with the jedi being corrupt.
This isn't a problem in it of itself, at least not what was actually happening, so much as it not being entirely appropriate for the general mentality with which people approach Star Wars and also Lucas was not a good enough writer/director to get it squared.

The basic idea of the Jedi serving the Republic and thus being married to an aging, corrupt bureaucracy and having to deal with that is sound. Almost nothing we actually see of the Jedi themselves points to much corruption or even decadence within their organization other than the problems of being aligned with an imperfect galactic government. The problem is the schemes of the Sith have resulted in a no win situation: either they fight to support the Republic, largely the lesser of two evils, and tie themselves to it live or die. Or they peace out and let galactic civilization collapse under the idea of "we don't want to be morally responsible for anything." So they choose to stay and fight and get doomed anyway.

It's the little things that people pick at. The sort of stuff people don't usually make a fuss about unless they're already mad. The whole "brainwashing religious cult" nonsense people like to harp on against all sense. And there's the backlash to the Jedi not being perfect that results in people further getting all weird and going "well if the Jedi aren't perfect they're basically evil and I want to be mad about this and project my weird angsty into angry reinterpretations of canon to vent."

>>149421054
When this guy says he wants to eat her out, it means something entirely different.

My current donut steel OC is a freelance mercenary that specializes in fighting Jedi and has a standing contract with the Empire like Boba. Maybe I can have him train some Inqs but that might be getting into mary sue territory.

>>149423138
It's already pretty Mary Sue, but the important bit is what the actual "character" of the character is. Why specialize in fighting Jedi? Does he do other stuff? Where did his skills come fomr? Obviously one can make them as common as they want in ones own fanfiction, but it's a pretty specialized thing. Does he want to train people to fight them too? Even Inquisitors? What kind of training would he do? How does that story work out? How successful is he, actually? What kind of Jedi has he taken down?

"Non-force user who beats up Jedi" will always carry the stench of a Mary Sue, but the key is to have a story for the character that makes it sensible. Makes it interesting to see rather than just blatant wank. It's the execution of an idea that elevates, or lowers, someone into true Mary Sue territory.

>>149423272
Thank you kind stranger, I'll work that in

>>149420045
So the planet housing terrorists, supplying arms to said terrorists, and building weapons for said terrorists wasn't a legitimate military target?

>>149412898 (OP)
>be some regular guy working for the evil space wizard regime

>be some guy with superpowers
Yeah, i take the Jedi

>>149423471
No, the entire fucking planet of billions of people and countless native species was not a valid military target to vaporize into nothingness. The Death Star was 100% a valid military target.

>>149423471
Anon, attacking a military installation that works as a weapon of mass destruction is somewhat different than a government committing indiscriminate mass murder of its own citizens, just because some of them might be enemies of the state

Its literally like night and day

For me?
It has to be old EU empire
