You've got a point about the diffinition of an attrocity. Okay still though, the Empire has destroyed maybe half a dozen planets? They're evil yes, but I feel like a big reason for a lot of the uprising hasnt' been addressed yet in a book.

Make no mistake, the Empire was evil. Alderaan was a non-military target and Tarkin destroyed it for fun, various slaveries of alien races, including Wookies, were enacted by the Empire, Caamas was bombarded into nothing by the Empire, and of course, Operation Shadow Hand in Dark Empire-around three dozen or so worlds were destroyed. Not to mention the millions of infants and children killed by Palpatine's inquisitors and such to stop any Jedi from rising up again...

I'm cynical like this too. I always wonder why (I haven't read the EU, so I can only go on the movies) for instance the Alderaan family risked everything working secretly against the Empire in the first place. When I'm really cynical I wonder if they were just pissed that other planets got the better star destroyer military contracts or something.

Alderaan was one of the founding planets of the Republic, over 25,000 years ago in the Star Wars universe. It hold Democracy in the highest regard, so the population didn't like the Empire.

Other worlds, too, I mean. Not everyone's beef with the empire was probably noble. It seemed like a lot of ne'er-do-wells joined up in the rebellion also.

I always thought the New republic was cooler than the Empire.

Alderaan? Complete evil. Right there, Tarkin showed how pure slime and how evil the Empire was.

Yeah, but you liked Enterprise. You clearly have no sense of taste.

Whoops...

Can't get rid of our only 2-star admiral, or whatever.

Hahahahahahhah HAAAAAAAAA.

I like it.

You would.

Ha! you cant destroy The almighty God-circuit that is Rochey! He has backups in several secret locations! You have merely destroyed one Incarnation of him!

*insert evil genius laugh here*

Sorry, Reliant, but clumsy old NR-liking, ENT-defending 'accidentally' dod that to all his mainframes. Whoops! I don't know what to say. *PUts on gas mask as Rochey goes up in flames*

Didn't Alderaan commit its own genocide on the indigenous peoples that lives there thousands of years ago? Or did the native Alderaanians just up and disappear?
