High taxes, trade rescritions, no personal rights and freedoms, are what Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker's epic and dramatic redemption is about???? No!!!!!!!
So, millions of people with families that they loved and cared about and who grieved for their losses were horribly burned to death in two fiery explosions
Just so people could have lower taxes????? What the????????
What about all the innocents who died on Alderaan, a civilian target? Did nobody there have families? Those attacks were unprovoked. If Princess Leia stole the plans, shouldn't they have killed her instead of blowing up a whole planet full of people who had nothing to do with the stolen plans and were peaceful, happy citizens of the Empire?
The Death Stars, however, were military targets, controlled and manned by military personnel, all of whom joined the military knowing the risks of being in the military. No peaceful innocent citizens on those at all.
you contradicted urself because u first said that the empire destroyed alderaan with the DS1 (the first death star) to interrogate/spite princess leia organa, however, you also just said that it was destroyed for unprovoked reasons. Well, which is it????
It's kind of both.
You have seen these films haven't you?
yes i have
how can it be kinda both at the same time????
I thought it was all obvious...
He threatens her with the destruction of Alderaan unless she tells him where the rebel base is (interrogation).
He then says, that she's "far too trusting" and proceeds to blow it up anyway (spite) and it was unprovoked because the people of Alderaan hadn't done anything.
It's all in that one scene.
As Tyrphanax said, if they really wanted to they could have just taken it out on Leia, but they chose to make her watch whilst they mercilessly destroyed her home planet.
no, U R misenterperting this entire situation/thing
Star Wars Episode 3 the revenge of the Sith-darth sidious becomes emperor palpatine and gets rid of all democracy in the galactic republic.
Star wars episode 4 a new hope-the rebellion alliance exists to fight the bad guys.
in between- the empire does a lot of atrocities and stuff like that, that we are never shown in the films
Also in between-people don't agree with/don't like the empire for political reasons/they are dissenters.
the bad guys (the empire) uses the death star to destroy alderaan in order to show to the rest of the galaxy not to mess with them. Kinda like how Joseph Stalin is be-all-end all paranoia dictator/tyrant to the fullest extreme of paraoid schizophrneia, that sicko ordered purges to eleiminate all dissenters-even if the dissenters were just innocent ordinary everday unarmed civilians-It was not to spite Prinecss Leia or Jimmy Smits. even if there was no rebellion, aldearan would still have been destroyed. They already believed her, it was not for interrogation.....
the empire dissolves the senate for god-knows-why
