Use the death star to rule the galaxy?? What?? I don't get it.... Fear was used to keep the rebels in line, not the people.....No rebels, no death stars, rebels are not good guys, they provoked the war and the destruction of planets.
"No star system will dare oppose the emperor now"
"Fear will keep the local systems in line.... Fear of this battlestation"
It was built to control the people since they had dissolved the senate, NOT built to keep the rebels in line.
Without the rebels, the death star never would've existed and alderaan and despayre would have survived. "no star system will dare oppose the emperor now"-to quote governor grand moff tarkin. He said that just before destroying alderaan, the home planet of the rebel traitor.........
I quoted blueharvest.net and edited on parts that aren't relevant to this topic-the death star's usage, and let's analyze this to see whose opinion of ours is true.....
TAGGE: Until this battle station is fully operational we are
vulnerable. The Rebel Alliance is too well equipped. They're more
dangerous than you realize.
MOTTI: Dangerous to your starfleet, Commander, not to this battle
station!
TAGGE: The Rebellion will continue to gain a support in the Imperial
Senate as long as....
TARKIN: The Imperial Senate will no longer be of any concern to us.
I've just received word that the Emperor has dissolved the council
permanently. The last remnants of the Old Republic have been swept
away.
TAGGE: That's impossible! How will the Emperor maintain control
without the bureaucracy?
TARKIN: The regional governors now have direct control over
territories. Fear will keep the local systems in line. Fear of this
battle station.
TAGGE: And what of the Rebellion? If the Rebels have obtained a
complete technical readout of this station, it is possible, however
unlikely, that they might find a weakness and exploit it.
VADER: The plans you refer to will soon be back in our hands.
MOTTI: Any attack made by the Rebels against this station would be a
useless gesture, no matter what technical data they've obtained. This
station is now the ultimate power in the universe. I suggest we use
it!
MOTTI: Don't try to frighten us with your sorcerer's ways, Lord Vader.
Your sad devotion to that ancient religion has not helped you conjure
up the stolen data tapes, or given you clairvoyance enough to find the
Rebel's hidden fort...
TARKIN: Lord Vader will provide us with
the location of the Rebel fortress by the time this station is
operational. We will then crush the Rebellion with one swift stroke.
You see?? Without the rebel alliance's existence, no death star usage on any planets!!!!
