Did you even read my long post that had rebuttals to it, about the great jedi purge, owen and beru lars, and alderaan's destruction????

Yes, I have been reading your posts and replying to what I see fit.

By that logic, you can say that the world operates in a black and white morality and that the justice system is evil and that criminals are good. You see???

It is different because unlike real life, Star Wars is a fantasy world where evil is always evil and good is always good. That's the whole point of a fantasy world like that; there is no grey area because there is only black and white. Anything the Rebels do to fight the Empire is good because the Empire is bad; while, conversely, anything the Empire does to fight the Rebels is bad because the Rebels are good.

It's very, very simple "black-versus-white" fantasy morality that has been used in countless books, movies, video games, and basically all other forms of fictional media since time immemorial.
