[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 7594720, member: 6716779"] Political assassination though? The rebels were a non state actor who used force to kill a lawful head of state. Not claiming Palps wasn't evil or used illegal means to assume power. An interesting thread in Legends was Luke does contemplate the Death Star, a million people died on it, not all of them were evil, the Empire used conscription. There was no immediate threat to another planet (Yavin moon was a military target) after Alderaan was blown up. Rogue One was also a bit darker and made the Rebels a bit more morally ambiguous. And in both Legends and new canon the New Republic fails for mostly the same reasons, an in legends there was worse than Palpatine out there his military build up was to defend the galaxy. The only government that ends up effective in Star Wars was the Empire post Endor which reforms into a military egalitarian type state. Its not a utopia but better than the New Republic. They also learn form bigger is better and start using smaller ships and better TIEs. Say if Saddam was overthrown by someone else than the Americans and you still end up with ISIS. Its more the law of unintended consequences but interesting IMHO. [/QUOTE]
