What I said, the general notion we got of the empire as a political entity is that it's against democracy.

You can't state it's an ultra leftist autocratic state like the USSR, or a right-wing dictatorship like the nazis with the material we currently have.

But, whatever, it's a radical idea so far so I guess why not? (Although I still think it wouldn't work).

About Jaitea's comment on the engines I agree with Bingo, the Falcon isn't willingly going to the Death Star, and that should be reflected on the footage.
