Molestation nothing... I notice how you don't protest that Lucas named "Star Wars" as "Episode IV - A New Hope", which was definetly not in the original movie and was only added after the first movie became a success to indicate that it was part of a bigger story.

And you don't even have The Reagan anymore, so you can't talk about 'copyrights' .

It seems to me that the corruption portrayed at the beginning of the series was the work of infiltrators working for the dark side and not necessarily the by-product of a weak organization.


Palpatine exploited an already crippling problem with the system. When it gets so bad that a Corporate Entity can unilaterally invade a Planet that's a memberof the Republic, then the Government is in the crapper regardless.

OTOH a legislature composed of thousands of members would probably not work very well. It would make more sense to organize star systems into "states" which would send their own represntatives to the central legislature.



Except, those Senators you saw weren't representing systems, they were representing sectors. In a Galaxy with Millions of inhabited worlds and no central military, it's amazing it didn't erupt into a full blown civil war before the Clone Wars. (it's worth noting that The Secessionists were led by a Jedi who left the Order. Presumably, this made him less likely to be "Influenced" by the Jedi, when they came a-knocking.)

There is a second, crumbling, evil empire, Lawrence. It has hung on despite the death of it's emperor 21 years ago, even enjoying a few moments as glorious as those it reveled in under the dead drunk, but is a shell of its former self. Recently, its sophomore pretender to the crown, Mike Shula, despite his impeccable lineage, has made it only too clear that this empire has not much longer to be a blight on our world. Welcome to the ash heap of history, University of Alabama, may you rot like the Bear.

At least his remains have been put to good use, keeping worms inebriated since 1983.

He was heterosexual, now as a half-robot/half-man he is heterobosexual, though some call it "robertosexual".

The Republic didn't have a military because it hadn't needed one for more than a thousand years. What could be sweeter than billions and billions of sentients living together in harmony with no need for weapons? If that's corruption I'll take a double dose of it, thank you! Obviously Palpitine used his dark powers to hide the growing threat. It wasn't the corruption of the Republic that led to its downfall, it was the insidious subversion from within. Oh, and the Jedi Order was nothing but a bunch of lazy lay-abouts. It was their fault too. It was their job to protect the Republic from the dark side and they failed miserably.

Yeah, so?

It wasn't Palpatine that kept the Senate from doing anything. It was just the nature of the Senate.
