Just to be clear, this thread is not about the morality of both factions in both eras. There's no doubt about that. The Rebels are the good guys and without that basic assumption the entire setup does not work. If you want to make a thread attacking GL's moral simplicity then fine, but there's really nowhere to go with it. And indeed, forget about the EU here.
One last chance for this thread to produce anything interesting about the way the Sith ware portrayed.

Please, lock this thread. I'm going to create a thread in the EU about Sith atrocities in the pre-prequel era, and yeah, this thread, as you said, is going nowhere.
Before locking this thread, i have one last question. Before the Naboo blockade and the clone wars, what exactly did the Sith do that made them the enemies of the Jedi (no EU involved).
the only evidence is very vague, but we're left to infer that the sith pulled off a military coup a thousand years before and that the events of the PT was simply history repeating itself. again, vague evidence so even that is speculative.

it seems that the jedi order was simply a fail-safe for a sith return. i mean what was their job otherwise? diplomats? since when does one need to perform magic in diplomacy? i have the impression from the PT that the galactic republic saw fit to keep them around for just that reason and kept them busy in civil service (to justify funding them perhaps?)

Now that you mention it that does seem odd.. Also seem like a handy deterrent to those who would seek to cause galactic mayhem by opposing the senate.
Lol when I first saw them as diplomats the first thing i thought was "oh so those guys are causing trouble and they I'll Jedi mind trick their leaders into stopping" but I guess that might make some sort of ethicical issue. But yeah Jedi seemed feared so it was like sending a warhead to talk diplomacy lol.
the only EU i like are the ones divorced from the saga. i dont need my cinema experience corrected by someone else's literature. if its awesome (OT) i will treasure it forever. if not, i will disavow it and look forward to a hopefully bright future with a mickey mouse hat.
