Who do you like?

I like Team Empire:

-Pax Vader insures prosperity & peace

-Minimal government interference on empire planets

-Defense against any threat

-Stormtroopers are badass & obey orders

-Rebel uniforms suck

-Rebel planets will fight each other if the Empire is defeated

I would agree with you except all their troopers are cloned warriors...they don't utilize Empire populace to fill their ranks.

All the Empire planets in the movies, unless my old brain is failing me, seem to be fairly autonomous.

No. After the first batch, stormtroopers were recruited and trained from the populace.

Also, how can you say that Empire planets are autonomous? When the senate was dissolved, Imperial governor's had direct control of everything. And they enslaved millions and millions. Tell the Mon Calamari they're autonomous; tell the Wookies. Hell, tell Lando and his Cloud City.

I'm on the side of the party that wasn't building a weapon to destroy fricking planets! I can't support such reckless spending and I refuse to be ruled by fear. I just want to be free to fly my ship from planet to planet, to see the sights, and make bank.

I'm a big fan of the Empire if not for the shoddy marksmanship of the Stormtroopers. Have a little pride in your accuracy for crying out loud.

Everyone knows the E-11 blaster rifle was mass-produced for pennies on the dollar and had ridiculously terrible accuracy.   :) 

There was actually some Star Wars video game where if you picked up a stormtrooper blaster nd shot it, the shots went out in rather random directions.  I think it was Jedi Knight or Jedi Knight 2 back in the 90's.
