Can we talk about how AT-AT would be the worst military vehicle to design in a universe where every other vehicle uses some sort of propulsion technology

they could've at least taken from battletech and add jumpjets or gyros or make it not topple like a drat toddler, imo

tbh there had to be rebel sympathy within the empire, how else would insurgents have won?

@ @


If the celebration scene at the end of the remastered version of Return of the Jedi is to be believed, everyone in the Empire hated the Emperor except for the military.

that, and the fact that the empire split into a billion sub-empires afterwards. some openly recruiting aliens etc

so they pretty much use the gas poo poo because gunpowder doesn't exist, right? it seems totally inefficient unless there's some phaser poo poo or bullets can't go through stormtrooper plastic

No because blasters fire bolts of coherent plasma, not beams of light. We've established this.

why don't stormtroopers wear ablatives or something which would actually protect against a direct hit instead of plastic?

so are the empire remnant dudes just the diehards who didn't wise up when their first empire was killed, and mostly technological eggheads and lovely commanders? they certainly made the stormtrooper hiring standards really loving lax

as much as george lucas loves having a hardon for pure good/pure hitler, palpatine was right about jedis being a threat to democarcy imo. in the lovely prequals he's just like "yeah dooko's sorta bad can you kill him" and baby vader was totally down for it no questions asked

And the whole clone/slave army thing. Jedi had it coming.

who decides that the proper way to fight a bunch of robots is loving cloning slaves

edit: honestly they're just as lovely and misguided if the movies are to be believed. only difference is that there's literally zero women antagonists

So what do you think will happen when the golden throne fails and the emperor of mankind dies? will he be reborn? turn into a daemon prince? will the warp beacon disappear resulting in the immediate and permanent collapse of the human empire? will humans attempt some sort of last ditch offensive against the dark eldar to takeover the webway?

Why would killing droids be better anyway? The ones we see in the movies have personality and emotions, right?

the skeleton ones are like walking dishwashers with guns or somesuch mentally, it's the commander droids that do all the mental work

Regular combat droids actually show empathy and capture the gungans rather then slaughtering them when the droids overrun them in that grassy field battle in Episode I. Telling them to surrender and sparing their lives in the process. Then the droids get shut down when the mothership blows up and they all just get thrown out. C-3PO and R2 have been repeatedly showing having empathy, planning, cowardliness etc. Droids are capable of fearing death yet get slaughtered for fun. Pretty messed up.

space oppression is a serious and real threat in jedi culture
