Rouge77 posted:Let's not give large part of the galaxy on a golden platter to a one family yet. After the Sith have been defeated, just let each planet vote in a free and democratic referendum whether they want to be independent or join some other, larger government: GA, the Fel Empire, Chiss Ascendancy, Hapes Consortium etc.

Nick posted:Fel's loyalist faction does not seem to care about typical "Imperial" concerns- like regaining the Core, opressing aliens, etc. Hence why a powerful Empire based on Bastion is no problem. The Alliance could maintain its control of the Core, Colonies, and Inner Rim, as well as its terriotry in the Mid and Outer Rim. Having both in power just plain works. And, most interestingly enough, most fans of the Fel Empire have no interest in it supplanting the Alliance. Instead, "modern" Imperial fans of the Fel sort are happy with a powerful and concentrated Empire in the Rim.

Your group has more roots there and mine more in the Core.

And you did say you'd quit making that same claim, but you repeatedly do. Would it trouble you too much to keep your word?

Rouge77 posted:The Empire is and has always been, evil. It can't be good. It's Palpatine's creation. The Fels can think otherwise, but the Empire itself will prove them wrong. It's a rotten, corrupt system, beyond redemption. Sometimes it can be a force for good through an alliance with the good guys, if they have the same enemy, but afterwards it goes evil again.
Charlemagne19 posted: It's not Palpatine's Empire, and you're not in Kansas anymore. Get used to it. You're going to have to argue morality based on something more than "They have an emperor and use armor like the bad government's armor." The problem is the Empire under Pellaeon still had people like Disra. And the Fels had people like Veed.
Rouge77 posted:Except that Gilad Pellaeon is not a former political prisoner of the Empire, but a high-ranking officer of it who has the backing of the surviving Imperial elite. He's more like Krushchev, at best Gorbachev; wants to change few things he doesn't like but mostly just so that the system can go on surviving, not because he is a nice guy.
The_Loyal_Imperial posted:Here are my thoughts. I do believe that eventually they will restore the throne to the rightful Emperor. In the end, I expect they'll have the galaxy split between the benevolent Empire and the Alliance, fans of both sides will be happy, and there will be plenty of material for stories in the future.
