I thought some of you geeks might be amused by this article:
The Case for the Empire (http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/248ipzbt.asp)
-
Agreed! I always liked the Empire better, surprise huh? :)
-
The Empire has the coolest uniforms.
In fact, when that MMOG Star Wars game comes out, I'm gonna join the empire the first thing I do.
Just think about (in no particular order)
Stormtroopers
Snowtroopers
Recon troopers
TIE fighter pilots
AT-AT drivers
All the officer unifroms, elegant and slick
cool cool cool
[edit] I almost forgot the heavy artillery guys (those who fired the Deathstar gun) how cool are those helmets? COOL COOL COOL
<--- a true geek

Bah, what about the Rebel fighter pilots outfits? Bright shiny orange gayness.
The Imperial officers have cool combat uniforms (That General in the AT-AT in ESB...Veers?) With body armor and a cool helmet. cool cool cool.

Just remember .....
Rule 43 of combat.
"The side with the simplest uniform wins".
-
What the article really says is that Lucas is a piss poor story teller.

Lol, that was going to be my example of lameness. Dude looks like he's going to start welding something any minute, but that Dr. No called, and wanted his 1960 Mandarin collar suite back :eek:

LOL well better lame than gay.
Take a look at the hippie-hair bands of the rebel snowtroopers. gay gay gay
-
I wonder if there were homophobes a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...

I don't remember any 60's bands being in the starwars films? Who was it Jeferson Airplane? :D
-
A gay guy would never cut open his 2 legged horse to warm his hands. :p
-
I found the article amusing....until this:
Make no mistake, as emperor, Palpatine is a dictator--but a relatively benign one, like Pinochet.
-
I dunno, but the Emperor only surrounded himself with men, and white men at that! I'd guess the Emperor isn't homophobic at all, quite the opposite in fact! ;) Tho a bit on the racist side.
(remember, only counting the movies! Don't go pulling Mara Jade into this. James Earl Jones voice doesn't count either)

General Maximillion Veers... my fav character :) I agree GRUNHERZ, I've always been an Empire fan :D
And nifty, cc to that! The Empire is extremely racist (er, prejudice towards aliens). You can see the beginnings of this in Episode II when Anikin hacks the sandpeople apart.
-
If the Emperor is so racist how do you explain Darth Maul.....
-
dart maul
the guy is so black he turned red and grew horns :o
my kind of guy, that maul..
did you know hes a relative of mine? oh boy you should see him drunk! tells the stranges stories, doesnt talk much when sober though..
-
I see drunkeness runs in the family. :)
-
I see a definite Luftwobble => Empire connection here... :D
-
Darth Maul was killed years before the Empire even took shape Grunherz. He was in Episode 1. Now, under the control of a Sith Lord (Emperor Palpatine), things got a lil brutal. :)
-
lol. I love it. Very true to. The ending is especially funny.:D

The Sith Lord, Darth Sidius, is Palpatine, who becomes the Emperor.

Hooper: Bust this - those movies are about how the white man keeps the brother man down even in a galaxy far, far away.
Check this toejam. You got cracker farm-boy Luke Skywalker, Nazi poster boy blond hair, blue eyes.
And then you've got Darth Vader: the blackest brother in the galaxy. Nubian God.
Banky: What's a Nubian?
Hooper: Shut the diddly up! Now Vader, he's a spiritual brother, down with the force and all that toejam. Then this cracker Skywalker gets his hands on a light-saber, and the boy decides he's gonna run the diddlying universe - gets a whole Klan of whites together, and they're gonna bust up Vader's `hood the Death Star. Now what the diddly do you call that!
Banky: Intergalactic Civil War?
Hooper: Gentrification! They're gonna drive out the black element, to make the galaxy quote, unquote `safe' for white folks.
And Jedi's the most insulting installment, because Vader's beautiful, black visage is sullied when he pulls off his mask to reveal a feeble, crusty white man!
They're trying to tell us that deep inside, we all wants to be white!
Banky: Well isn't that true?
Hooper: BLACK RAGE! BLACK RAGE!! I'LL KILL ANY WHITE FOLKS I LAY MY MOTHER diddlyIN' EYES ON!!!

Of course Imperial body armor is just for looks. Either that or an Ewok bow has one bejesus of a pull!
