What? These guys are willing to chase Corillian Tramp Freighters into
Asteroid Belts and continue to fight even though over 65% of their
squadron
is dead due to smashing into flying rocks! These guys have more balls
than
you can imagine. Also, that revisionist Lucas only shows the battles
they
lost. Do you think they dominated the entire known galaxy because they
suck? Hardly.
It was the political system that was really at fault in their demise.
The
Emperor, "Gramps" as he was known behind his back, though depicted as
really
evil and powerful, was really just an old fuddy duddy. He was as cute
as
anyone's grandfather and about as capable of running the Universe. Had
the
younger and more energetic leader, Darth Vader, not become a turncoat
the
Universe would have been much better organized and able to deal with the
pesky Marxists from Aldeberan.
