With the return of The Mandalorian season 2 to Disney+, I felt it was about time to also return to a Star Wars theory. In a previous theory, I talked about how the Jedi could be construed as an 'evil' order. Today, I'm taking that kind of idea and flipping it to talk about the Empire itself! I think The Mandalorian provides us with even more clues that the Empire may not be as wrong in it's philosophy as we thought! How? Why? Well Theorists, make sure you Baby Yoda is somewhere safe because this is about to take a turn to the dark side...

I find the argument to have a few fallacies. The outer rim was exploited/ignored by the empire just as much the new/old republic. Look at tatooine in a new hope. There's no imperial presence there, until Vader shows up looking for the droids. Crime and smuggling is rampant. While the moff system might be more efficent, they were always portrayed as either corrupt, or authoritarian. They never show a "nice" moff. The empire was shown burning and razing whole worlds for resources to fund it's war machine, in both the mandalorian, and various other shows/movies. Not to mention the rampant alienism. If you weren't human, it would take superhuman efforts to make any headway in the empire proper. Thrawn was an exception. They enslaved the wookies. I don't see the new or old republic enslaving races (Maybe clones, but that ended up just being the empire's doing in the end). Both styles of governance were bad, but I'll take mine with less slavery and genocide any day.

I don’t know if the mandalorian proves the Empire was right. In season 2, they had Bill Burr killing a high ranking Imperial officer for having such a callous, cold view on sacrificing thousands of people. Not to mention how the Empire is chasing baby yoda for evil practises. The empire is definitely evil and the people who serve it have a very harsh, callous, un empathetic mindset

Star Wars rebels actually gives a newer interpretation on what it was like to live under the empire and, yeah. It wasn’t all that great. I think that what the empire viewed as a good life for the average citizen and what regular citizens in the galaxy view as a good life didn’t really Mach up all that much. Such as how the empire was restrictive on speech, expression, had curfews in place, taxed it’s citizens heavily, and generally oppressed the citizens when it wasn’t necessary.

"A tyrannical governent is ok as long as it is stable" Seriously, you guys have been a democracy for 200 years, you don't know what it is like to live in a dictatorship. You suport the empire with the same mentality of the presidents in the 60s to the 80s, who suported fascist dictorships because they weren't comunist. The other systems were flawed, but at least they weren't fascist dictorships (and ok, the jedi were pretty evil, but they were barely involved with the new republic).

I'd appreciate this theory alot more if you weren't relying on the messy, inconsistent, illogical world building of the sequel trilogy to back up your points. Nothing about the first order or the new republic makes an ounce of sense, and so shouldn't be held up as some kind of proof or evidence of anything.
Пре 10 данаBrotherHood
The empire did have a pretty speciest outlook on things do. Classifying most of them as Non-Sentient or Near-Human. Basically if you human, you good! The less human you look, the worse you get treated. Remember the Death Star was mostly build by Wookie Slaves & other class 1 slaves. Soooo Good job Empire #HumanityFirst
Пре 11 данаBrotherHood
Look your first half was good, but the second part about Rian's trilogy is just bad writing. You should have used the expanded trilogy that basically explains that the New Republic goes back to it's old ways and that only the Jedi Order makes a bit of progress.

Things matt gets wrong and is overthinking because he doesn’t know enough: The Jedi were never considered good, there is no good vs evil... only Jedi vs sith. The new galactic republic is not powerful enough because they aren’t conscripting children like the empire did Prequel republic had many flaws however they had control of the galaxy and they weren’t as bad as the empire... as you can see by the formation of the rebellion in the first place. Clearly Matt hasn’t watched Star Wars rebels or played many of the Star Wars games like Fallen order

I'm just gonna say that one of the main reasons the Republic was trash was because of Palatines manipulation and corruption that led to the fall of the Republic. Thus creating the Empire. Without Palps, there wouldn't have been such chaos and war between the Republic and the CIS. Or maybe I'm just bias, cause Clone bois under the Republic make the coolest military.

Hey great video super fun but you can’t mix Star Wars legends and Cannon. The new republic is vastly different in both. The essential guide to warfare and the sequels aren’t even in the same universe. The New Republic may have sucked in Cannon but in Legends it was pretty’s good. Also the book Tarkin is Cannon
Пре 12 данаS A
The empire isn't as great at governing planets as you think, sure they are helping the galaxy but most of the empire is biased against aliens and aren't as willing to give help to the outer rim compared to the core worlds. The emperor helped a lot with the outer rim but eventually gave up when it became too much and basically left the planets in the outer rim to fend for themselves. This is the main reason why the rebellion had so many worlds that were aligned to their cause, since the rebellion promised to help their planets.

Пре 13 данаmentaya11
Very good job doing your research. I will quibble on the fact that you seemed selective about which things you took from Legends. If you're going to use Legends to back up your claims, you ought to use the universe as established by legends to determine whether the New Republic was successful. On the flip side, if you're ignoring the Legends, and very reasonably looking at the current canon to see the end result, it is unreasonable to use the Legends material to support your claims. Still, very little of this came from Legends and I think you did a great job supporting this theory. I think the sequel series did a pretty poor job at this stuff though. How *did* the First Order, ostensibly a small splinter of the formerly massive Galactic Empire, fund some of its tech like the Mega class Star Destroyer, not to mention the monstrosity that was Starkiller Base? If you look at the source material, the Death Stars cost enough to bankrupt whole star systems for *decades*! (kinda questionable money managing in a governing body there if you ask me, spending that much on a weapon built purely to terrorize) The Executor was pretty ridiculous too. And the whole New Republic crumbling in decades was swept under the rug too. I prefer the Legends universe, and they talk a *lot* about politics, and trying to balance the burgeoning New Republic and get it started, and yes, it was *much* harder than taking it, but they *did* do it. They faced their own rebellions, and fought other massive wars, and even had their original government fall apart under a galactic invasion, having to rebuild from the ground up again, but they also actually reduced slavery and smuggling, and *improved* the infrastructure. Of course, that's not canon now, and what MatPat is reporting on is the current canon. One last thing before I end my rant. The Empire was great for its individuals...*some* of them. It brought order to the Outer Rim through an iron fist and military might, leaving military outposts on worlds across the galaxy to maintain order. It also replaced the current governing bodies with its moffs...who were exclusively *human*. The Empire was great, for *humans*. It placed indigenous non human sentient populations under the rule of human moffs who answered to the Empire, giving the actual people no say. There are a few worlds (many of the ones we see in the movies) that are human dominated, but the vast majority of the sentient beings are not human, though humans may be the largest single population. Maybe it doesn't outweigh the other issues, but there is a reason many of the rebels were non-human, and you don't see any non-humans in the Empire.

He failed to mention all the the war crimes committed, indentured servitude, straight up slavery, and lack of compromising with individual systems used by the empire.
