You know who Palpatine and the Empire can be compared to quite easily from history?  And who, in fact, George Lucas has said was part of his inspiration for them?

Hitler and the Third Reich.  Especially with Palpatine's rise to power in the prequels.  And that's who you think are the real good guys???

But the Galactic Empire did not commit genocide. The Galactic Empire is more comparable with benevolent Empires such as the Roman Empire.

They didn't commit genocide?  Order 66 ring a bell?  Alderaan?  They blew up a damn planet!  Not the only one, either, they blew up another one first as a "test run" if you consider the book "Death Star" to be canon.

Well Order 66 was not a genocide because it was against a military order, not an ethnic group. Alderaan does not count because there are humans on other planets.. And the book Death Star is from the Expanded Universe and therefore is non Canon.

Ok fuck it.  You're a retard.

Ironbite-as in your mother drank lead paint while pregnant with you and then you kept up drinking it.
