Are there any villains you agree with?

In case you didn't notice, Palpatine was a very charasmatic and beloved individual. That's why it was called a rebellion and not a revolution. Lots of people liked the Empire. It was beginning to decline because of it's tactics, but Palpatine was hardly reviled. Remember, we saw him "behind the scenes" plotting his evil deeds. In front of the holo's, he was just a really loveable hugable ugly guy.

And people loved hitler. There are people who know the whole truth now and still love hitler.

This is ALL unfounded.

The people of the new Empire accepted it because they knew they could do nothing about it. It's similar to how people gripe about the blood sucking bastards in DC but they won't lift a finger to protest. People are naturally sheep (Most of them) and to say they liked the Empire is the mother of all assumptions.

Now, Sidious' men... Imperial soldiers, were reviled by the Hutts, who tried to bribe them so that the imperials wouldn't move in on their trade (Which they tried to do anyways). Several planets suffered the effects of this "ugly, loveable guy" like Kashyyk, where everyone was enslaved. Also, there are whole worlds chaffing under the empire's iron grip as shown in many books. Whenever even a small demonstration or "revolution/rebellion" took place, the imperials would execute them and several others as punishment for the act of rebellion.

I don't think you get it... Even Tarkin understands the core element of Sidious' new empire... And it's fear. People who fear you don't neccessarily love you. That goes without saying. If Sidious was mostly loved, why did he have Imperial occupation forces on nearly every claimed planet? Why did he feel the need to create the Death Star nearly twenty some years before ANH? Why is there even a rebellion?

The answer is, Sidious WASN'T some nice guy once he got his talons into the throne. He was a ruthless, evil despot. If he wasn't, we'd see evidence of people nearly worshipping him, as people did Hitler.

I agree with these villians:

Jango. When he said "I'm just a simple man merely tying to make my way in the universe", he was basically telling the truth.

Watto: Everything was buisness, nothing was personal. --except for that chance cube, that was cheap.

Sebulba: If some kid was trying to show me up in racing I'd be pissed-off to! Even in real life, when some rookie thinks they're the shit with their riced-out Civic with a coffee-can muffler and a plastic spoiler, and then they be choking on my exhaust when it's over!

The only one I can agree with is Revan.

Dooku at first, but he fell too and he was corrupted by the Dark Side, his noble goal fell by his time in the Dark. He was only confusing himself.

Revan on the other hand always stayed true to himself, what he did may have been evil but he also had a very good reason for it, and everybody that can now in Kotor II seems to accept that what he did was for the good of the galaxy. Malak just destroyed everything Revan had going for him by a push of a button.

i can only agree with jango he just wanted to live happily until windu cut his head of

Obviously people began to hate him, yes. BUt I bet his funeral turnout was huge.

Yeah, didn't you see all those people partying at the end of ROTJ? He was loved.

Well in some cultures they celebrate the deaths of their loved one's 😛

Well, I prefer the philosophy of the emperor over the ideas of Yoda. Jedi codex seems unnatural and inhuman. Sith Lords can feel.
On the other hand, I detest the Youzhaan Vong fanaticism (spelling?).
