>Is The Galactic Empire Evil? Conservative Bill Kristol Calls Star Wars Government Benevolent, Liberal Regime

A conservative commentator set off a Star Wars Twitter battle Tuesday after he tweeted there was no evidence that the Galatic Empire was evil. Bill Kristol, editor of the Weekly Standard, a neoconservative opinion magazine, called the Empire "a liberal regime w meritocracy, upward mobility. Neocon/reformicon in spirit." Kristol added: “Needless to say, I was rooting for the Empire from the first moment. It was a benevolent liberal empire, after all.”

Without the context of the coming Yuuzhan Vong war, the Empire gets shafted.

It makes sense that they would be so authoritarian and militant, and even create the Death Star, with the context of a coming invasion.

Otherwise they just look like space Nazis building impractical superweapons and imposing martial law all over the galaxy. But I guess that's what helps make sequels… Disney…

it's a militaristic occupation

much like south america and north korea in the movies

evil, from a certain point of view.

I'm pretty sure from the context of this he was making a joke.
