[lordmitmar]

Sith are jedi, just with cooler abilities.

We never actually see alien oppression in the movies. Simply that the Empire's military is primarily human as was the Republic's. We do see one working for the Empire in episode 4, and as the Senate still existed and had some power up until Yavin we can assume the alien senators still had power. Not once is slavery in the Empire mentioned as well. As for anti feminism, neither side had lots of female soldiers, remember at the time it was (and in many places still is) normal for the military to be all male. My mother was part of the first class of female aircraft mechanics for the US Air Force and that was in the 70s. Women are still fighting for the right to be on the front lines today. Saying the Empire is sexist for having an apparently male dominant military when it was created during a time when male dominant militaries were considered normal is a bit silly.

Expanded universe. Might try reading it some time.

Xenophobia.

Ooo burnnn.

*drops moon*

... *erm, I mean mic. drops mic. ...I mean, where is Tici when I need her!?*

 

[Cody Weadge]

[member="Ayden Cater"] You mean that thing that's no longer considered canon? While the humansentric Empire created in the novels certainly made for an interesting bad guy, alien slavery and sexism never made sense.

 

[Ayden Cater]

[member="Cody Weadge"]

And yet we continue to view those things as canon on the board. Unless you mean to say that 90% of the board's force powers are no longer canon and valid for use.

 

[Cody Weadge]

To my knowledge none of the 9 or so Empire like factions on this board have been sexist or expressly xenophobic.

And to be fair, Force powers can be pretty ridiculous on this board compared to anything in the movies OR Expanded universe.

I recall the Atrisian Empire was supposed to have an 'Alien Quarter' in Jar'kai. Clear Apartheid. The Imperial Remnant has advertised itself as being openly xenophobic.


And space magic is fun.

[member="Ayden Cater"] where does it say they where sexist, as I know the brotherhood and female members, I know swtor empire had no problem with woman

[member="Cody Weadge"]

Last I checked, they weren't the Galactic Empire.

[member="sabrina"]

The Empire, not the Sith. It's actually stated on the Wookie that there wasn't any evidence that Palpatine himself was xenophobic or sexist. But the Galactic Empire was.

 

[Darth Veles]

Are we moving on the boards now or movies?

Here, the Sith factions are not xenophobic.

They were not in the movies either... The Imperial xenophobia is one of the things that deserved to be purged as it makes no sense for Palps to oppress the majority of his subjects.

[member="Ayden Cater"] and what about malchor v

 

[Sarge Potteiger]

[member="Ayden Cater"] malchor V

anything Revan related is immediately not tied to the Jedi because Mary Sue has always been in a category all her own

I didn't see the Council ordering the bomb's construction, or that planet's destruction.

In fact it's quite clear the whole way through Revan was, by and large, running his own splinter faction of warlike Jedi.

The minority doesn't define the majority, whereas at least with the Sith the majority of them are what [member="Darth Janus"] said:

Bad people
doing bad things
for bad reasons

Malachor V was an act perpetuated by someone who had been cast out of the Order, and whom the Order looked upon with sadness and shame. They attempted to punish her for her actions and would have done so had they not been murdered by Kreia

 

[sabrina]

They where still jedi at that point [member="Ayden Cater"], they became sith later. Jedi do commit crimes, and sometimes just as bad as the sith. Not always granted.

Though saying that jedi on this board do commit a few

 

[Cody Weadge]

[member="Siobhan Kerrigan"] no one remembers that! It was not so much xenophobia as it was Atrisia having tons of aliens after they closed the border and no place for them. So they were given a section of the city, which was basically a slum no respectable Atrisian would enter. There certainly was some "non-Atrisian" prejudice overall that faded as it expanded.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

As I recall, the Atrisian Empire...sorry the 'Galactic' Empire initiated a purge of Force users during its death throes.

Until we actually get more official 'new' canon, we have to use the 30 years of material written.

Wilfully ignoring it, which would mean ignoring the whole concept of a Remnant too, would be foolish just so one can ignore a point they don't like.
