What? He's spamming a thread I made because I was curious what people thoughtt. This forum, like the versus forum, is for discussion and speculation on things like the hypotheticals in the OP.

The Empire made no benefits to galactic-kind and was just a worthless, evil Empire.

anyway, if anything, Hutts are liberal politicians/any politician, fat, lazy rich aristocrats, and Sand people are like Republicans, dumb, illiterate rednecks shooting at random shit with their guns.
It did bring order and peace (to an extent) to the galaxy. The Empire, as Gideon has educated us, was widely supported and approved of by the general populace. You could definitely say that was due to propaganda, but it's also just as obvious that the vast majority of the population was being left untouched.

On topic, folks? If you dislike the topic, don't post...
Anyways, I think the Empire would not have held. Palpatine had power as he had been, at one point, an elected official and was in general favor with the public at the time of transition from Republic to Empire. Anakin was a war hero himself, but... not quite the same public standing. He'd be taking power by force and people wouldn't like that...
After saving Padme, what point would there be to stay evil? If he could somehow control himself and turn back to the LS, then it would be a peaceful, benevolent Empire... unlikely though
LOL You guys support the Empire so much that you actually think that the Empire brought "peace and order" to the galaxy.

Palpatine's more like Hitler. After years of strife and hardship, people were glad to have a strong absolute ruler who would make them stronger and at peace. Then there's the racism (well as in actual race as in human race above others) and various other parallels.
Order is order even if it is brutal.
And I think Anakin with Padme could make a benevolent dictatorship by and large.
