I really wish that they had done a better job with Daala. She had potential at the start. The idea that pockets of the Empire were hidden away was a good one. Then they royally effed her up and made her an embarrassment to female military commanders everywhere. (seriously, sucking your superior officer's cock is not an appropriate per-requisite for becoming a high ranking military commander. I hate nepotism with a firey passion))

I didn't read much outside of Zahn, is there any that show the Empire in a better light?

I wouldn't say 'better light'. It does make them look a little less bumbly tho. I can't remember the titles.

When I finish what I'm writing (am trying to get it done for the Black Library publishing window for new authors in April), I could always have a go.

Is it even possible to show the Empire in a "better light"??

Droyk, woman.  Depends on who you ask.

[nickiknack]

Good point, as long as don't ask any alien species, Jedi on the run, or any of Palpatine's political enemies, you might get a positive response.

"Human superiority" was pretty much an integral part of Palpatine's empire, but the remnant got rid of that at some point.

Then again even the remnant and the Fel empire do some questionable stuff but in those cases it seems to be mostly caused by few crooked politicians (How many decent moffs have we seen?) or the sith.

Still at least when Zahn is writing we see that some imperials are just doing their job out of loyalty to the empire and it's not like they go out of their ways to torture puppies just for the evulz.

[nickiknack]

Yeah, the Empire isn't pure evil, there are decent folks that served it like Pellaeon.

it's not like they go out of their ways to torture puppies just for the evulz.

Is it wrong that the image of Palpatine torturing a puppy just formed in my head??

The Mandalorians just wanted a fight.

Wow, really? I liked a couple of the heresy series.
