Didn't they abuse the outer rim planets?
>>81936253
what was their tax policy?
>>81936735
We all know Sheev would have cut taxes for the rich and middle class in order to stimulate the economy. Furthermore, a strong military provides opportunities for employment for young men, and the stability brought around by a powerful state encourages order.
>>81936691
They let the Hutts expand and used Kessel for dissidents and to hide their research bases.
A lot of backwater planets were "abused" by regional Moffs, I guess that counts. Lothal and Tatooine are examples.
>>81936942
Actually they contained the Hutts to shitty planets
>>81936942
Why didnt the rebels fight against the hutts or these gangsters instead?
>>81937114
Cause they're fucking faggots.
>>81937071
I always assumed whoever was in control let the Hutts be since they were so entrenched and old.
>>81937114
Fucking old EU had the gangsters a force for/against the New Pubs, depending on the story
>>81936253
I always say this about Star Wars. I know they're essentially films for children and adolescents, but what is so bad about the Empire? The Nazis kill Jews and the Mao starved his people but the films (disregarding EU bullshit) show a regime that is fine to live under provided you cooperate.
>>81937447
Well you don't actually see much outside of the military and that military blew up a populated planet.
>>81937908
There are 50 million planets in the galaxy.
Aldaran was essentially some middle eastern sand nigger city chimping out.
>>81936805
this. sheev is the nationalist-capitalist redpill, (((rebels))) are antifaggots
>>81938111
No it wasn't.
>>81936253
The Rebels are literally ISIS.
>>81937908
They eliminated a terrorist hotbed.
They MOABed it.
