GD...where small government advocates promote a tyrannical space empire.

I'm just a simple moisture farmer.

The Empire was less tyrannical than the United States.

Han Solo walked around on Imperial worlds open carrying without giving it the slightest thought, to the point it was part of his style. He flew around on his privately owned ship equipped with two plainly visible quad-barreled automatic AA cannons, defensive countermeasures, sensor jamming equipment, an autonomous anti-personnel machine gun, and probably torpedo launchers... And no one gave him shit for it. He was confident flying this ship all around the Empire without fear of arrest or trouble.

A modern US citizen is not as free as Han Solo was under the Empire.

Smugglers don't make money smuggling from areas without government to areas without government.

Han made money by smuggling cocaine around the Empire. With that in mind, obviously he's going to make his ship low-profile, not rolling Probable Cause for a search. Apparently in the Empire, two giant fucking AAA cannons doesn't draw any special attention.

Darth Vader was a tormented soul that simply wanted to have a wife and family and the Jedi Order fucked it all up for him. It even brainwashed his wife into hating him. He had to get married in secret for God's sake!  

Also he didn't go around the galaxy proselytizing unlike Obi-Wan did.

The first thing the Emperor did was get rid of the Jedi Youth indoctrination camp.

Padme hated Anakin because she was a one percenter monarchist who never did a thing to earn her position and Anakin had to work his way up from the bottom. Then the rebels stole Anakin's children and hid them for twenty five years. What kind of evil, sick bastard won't even tell Luke that he has a sister? The kind that makes her a princess and leaves him to shovel shit on some dirt pile in the middle of nowhere.

All Luke wanted was join the Empire to be with his friend Biggs and meet his father, but those SOBs Owen, Beru, and Kenobi wouldn't let him. You know how Han shot first? George Lucas wouldn't even show the scene where Anakin went down to Tatooine to meet his long, lost, beloved son. He didn't show it because Uncle Owen shot first.

Then they brainwashed Luke into murdering half a million loyal employees of the Empire.

Could've been smuggling between different planets with different laws as well.

Han could've been making cash by taking tax-free "spice" from Tattoine to Coruscant.


After he started going all Copperhead Road and blasting revenue-men's TIE fighters, he drew some special attention.

No he was hired by a retired Jedi (probably ended up being Sith) and sent a world that did not exist on the Republics maps. Everything he did off world was bounty hunting.

According to wookiepedia:

Slavery was made illegal by the Galactic Republic under the Rights of Sentience clause, but continued to exist, particularly in regions not under Republic control, primarily the Outer Rim Territories and the Senex sector. On Tatooine, some slaves were installed with chips in their craniums that killed them if they tried to escape. Anakin Skywalker and Shmi Skywalker had chips installed within their bodies.[1][2]

However, after the rise of the Empire, slavery was once again given a degree of legitimacy with the issuance of Imperial Decree A-SL-4557.607.232. Non-Humans and Human critics of the New Order alike were rounded up and enslaved en-masse for work on such projects as the Death Star. Agorffi,[3] Wookiees, Yuzzem, and Talz were exploited for their strength while the Mon Calamari and the Givin were used for their famous ship-building skills. Also the Quarren, Chromans, Ugnaughts and Mustafarians were enslaved for their mining skills, the Gamorreans and Gungans were enslaved for military operations and the Kaminoans and Kallidahins for their cloning skills. Meanwhile, the Empire frequently ignored the trade of Twi'lek girls, who were enslaved for their beauty.[4]

When the New Republic became the dominant galactic power, slavery was once again made illegal by New Republic Senate Resolution 54.325.[4] However, slavery still continued in remote areas of the galaxy particularly in the Outer Rim and on certain Imperial fortress worlds such as Byss.

You do realize Solo was against the Empire and the Jedi never once asked him to see his NFA paperwork.


Solo (my favorite Rebel) was a disgraced Imperial officer.  Notice his boots and dress pants?  Imperial issue.
Boots were Imperial. Pants were Corellian.  


Depends on which scene.  There's a couple of scenes where he's wearing black pants with a red stripe, IIRC that's Imperial officer garb.

If you accept the prequels.

If you reject the prequels, then not so much.  Then Obi-wan just seemed like kind of a jerk for not telling Luke about Leia... but he didn't want Vader to kill them all or further enslave the galaxy or endanger the rebellion - which would've been a greater harm.

Obi-wan was faced with tough decisions and had nothing but bad choices as possibilities.

Red is correct, and Blue is why he is my favorite "modern" force user, that and he personally took out 2 Sith, something no other Jedi had done in modern times.

Only $350. I should have gotten 2 and sold one.

I got them on a pre-order deal. So they were like 66% off normal cost. I think they are still a bit cheaper now, but not the same deal I got.

I took a gamble as this was a pre order and based on the proto type. But it is an actually licensed costume and I am pretty confident the quality will be there. I saw some test pulls and it looks great.

I posted awhile ago my Sterling gun model from Japan that was converted to a decent trooper blaster - all I need to do is replace the t-Track.

That one's got a shot gun.

One rack of the slide and their enemies will flee.

How does the Empire expect to defeat an advanced and very hostile alien force if it cant even find the Millennium Falcon in some asteroids?

I should even mention a detachment getting defeated by teddy bears.

Let me remind you that the Empire was winning that engagement right up to the point Chewie hijacked an Imperial Walker.

GD...where small government advocates promote a tyrannical space empire.

I'm just a simple moisture farmer.

The Empire was less tyrannical than the United States.

Han Solo walked around on Imperial worlds open carrying without giving it the slightest thought, to the point it was part of his style. He flew around on his privately owned ship equipped with two plainly visible quad-barreled automatic AA cannons, defensive countermeasures, sensor jamming equipment, an autonomous anti-personnel machine gun, and probably torpedo launchers... And no one gave him shit for it. He was confident flying this ship all around the Empire without fear of arrest or trouble.

A modern US citizen is not as free as Han Solo was under the Empire.

Not really.

Solo was wanted by the Empire.

Solo operated in the outer rim which was outside of the Empire.

Solo mostly flew for the Hutts.

He is the Somali pirate of the Star Wars universe.

The Emperor was killed and the forces at Endor were defeated because some asshole armor driver couldn't be bothered to lock the fucking hatch.

I remember when that came out. What a shame they never did more than two episodes.

Close...

 



The Hutts were like Mexican Cartels and he flew dope for them. The Outer Rim was Imperial Space. Hence why Stromtroopers were there.




Han was an ex-Imperial Officer that sided with the Space Cartel and sold dope.

Mandos would let the other two groups fight it out then kill the survivors.  And then they'd take all their Credits.
