Knowing that half the folks here are going to try and draw correlations between this and Nazis et al?

The Empire was totalitarian with an impotent, shriveled man in a smelly robe calling the shots. All the stormtroopers were male. The rebels were a coed set up. As a matter of fact in the empire you see almost no women at all in any position. Obviously the empire harnesses both sexual frustration and homosexual guilt to fuel their hatred/violence and conquest.

You sure you want to live in that empire?

Me, I personally think Han Solo knew where it was at....unbridled capitalism with no religious ties.
