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.
The bad guys are not bad just because they're bad. They're bad for a reason (s).
The main problem/issue here is not black and white morality. It's this idea that villains are evil just because they're evil and have to be destroyed. That is BS, and just plain ridiclous........
Even LOTR, a black and white morality storyline, has reasons why sauron is evil; not because "hey im gandalf lets go fight a bad guy, he's bad just because he's bad and we need somebody to defeat today for fun'!!!!!!
