- The Empire Was Right - The Series
The video is done in fun to show both how propaganda can be used to spin anything and that there are some plot holes in Star Wars. Rebuttal and sequel videos are being planned, so feel free to leave a comment and I may discuss it in long form.
This video dives into what led to Palpatine being justified in initiating Order 66 and the justification of what happened to the Jedi afterwards. The video also covers the Battle on Endor from Return of The Jedi to show how corrupt and violent the rebels and Jedi are.
For over four decades, there has been debate on who the true villains and heroes of the Star Wars Saga are. With over 10 minutes of content and discussion, I feel that a fair argument can be made in favor of The Empire.
I am not implying that the empire, sith, or their associates are perfectly good and I am not saying the jedi, rebels, or their associates are purely evil. But each side sits squarely on a spectrum. With the empire leaning towards the morally justified side and and the rebels and jedi leaning more towards war mongering blood thirsty side.

The reason stormtroopers dont shoot accurately is be cause they don't want to cause violence
Exactly! Several...and I do mean SEVERAL warning shots. Just like COBRA did in GI Joe.
Nope. They have shit training and helmets. 9 mouths of training. And they only know " run and shot".
Nice pop, fellow fallout fan.
@@samfire3067 fairly certain it is a tactic called blitzkrieg
Dayum i always questioned that ... now i feel bad for the empire o.o
The wampa (ice bear) actually saved Luke from freezing to death by carrying him all the way to his cave. When Luke finally wakes up, the wampa rushes towards him to share his meal with him
Pretty sure he just wanted to share frozen lemon ice cones
@@Polybius98 😂😂😂
Really shows the horrible bigotry that Luke had towards Wampas. Truly sad
LOL FR 😂😂😂😂😂
hahah
Han and Leia were feigning surrender against those two Stormtroopers arresting them, which is a war crime.

Oh heavens they do and IT IS Ahahahahaahahahha!!
The Empire were always the good guys.
I tend to think so but the Jedi and the with were both evil :(
Long Leave The Galactic Empire :)
@@john-wd4pw order 66
So I’m not the only one who was glad to see rebels and Jedi fail?
@Morg Ausome destroying planets of illegal private militia who tried eliminating the empires war plans? Makes sense to me
Thank you for your bravery in speaking truth! Emperor Palpatine ascended to power by being duly elected, while the Rebels attempted to overthrow the legitimate government through terrorist activities, and using Ewok meat-shields. Long live the Benevolent Empire! :)
One thing I noticed you forgot to mention. Once the rebellion succeeded in ending the empire, the failed to have a plan to establish a new government. This in turn left a power vacuum that opened the door for the first order to take power. The galaxy should be fortunate that a criminal empire like the Hutts or the Black Sun didn't take the opportunity to take power, or maybe they did.
The New Republic, but to be fair they are almost invisible in the new canon. The First Order never took power, instead their unwitting goal was always to pave the way for the Emperor's contingency. Criminal groups likely did gain power following the dismantling of the Empire, which could be reflected in an increased focus on them in the TV series, though it's one thing to take the opportunity to gain territory for your activities, quite another to take control of multiple planets, something even the authoritative Empire struggled with
Hold on... I'm recieving a transmission.
The Empire: The Galactic Empire is in search of a... lawyer.
Jim Huss ENT: Where do I sign?
Vader: hey guys the Empire is pretty chil. You should Join or something.
Ironically I'm studying dilplomacy in university. Can I join too?

Never Forget.
Never Forgive.
And even thought the murderer was captured later, the mercy of the emperor spared his life.
The only reason the series started with the trilogy was so that we would be biased against the Sith and Empire by the time the evidence justifying their actions is shown in the prequels. I think that if you had someone entirely new to Star Wars watch episodes 1-9 in that order and say the Rebels were the good guys, they would think you’re crazy.
Disney is the real villains here
Not Disney, but Kathleen Kennedy
You mean.. Lucas Films?

Ewoks are "off-brand clearance-rack wookies"?
I KNEW IT ALL ALONG!! It's why, when I got my first Ewok doll as a child, that I immediately called the Empirical Police on my aunt who purchased it for me. Storm Troopers came to peacefully take my aunt away but she attacke them, killing one of the Storm Troopers within seconds. I, being a young boy, picked up one of the dropped Storm Trooper blasters and was forced to kill my blood-thirsty aunt. Even in my adulthood, the psychological scars of that day still remain.
Maybe the best comment I have ever read on one of my videos.
@@IAmJimHuss Cheers. :)
Excellent work! Such bold words, you'll be highly commended for this.
Didn't vader kill you or something?
Vader killed ozzel
And Darth Vader executed Captain Need a also because Ozzel and Need a failed to do their duties successfully.
General Veers, does The Galactic Empire knows about The Lylat System of The Star Fox video games series?
@@john-wd4pw Yes, we have a fleet specifically designed to invade it which is almost prepared.
I have watch the other videos and in those videos I was kind of defending the rebels but after seeing those poor storm troopers getting massacred by Han Solo Princess Leia and Luke. I can only see them now as monsters
but thanks to you I realize that I know who are the real Monsters in the story
Han Solo? More like "Hand Solo" @11:55
I now! I just saw that now. I've watched this movie like 100 times and this is the first time I have ever seen that
I'm trying to write a science fiction novel about alien society, and this is helpful in not only establishing debate points, but also in establishing the different perspectives present. Please make more of these - they're amazing, and the debates they open are incredible!
Keep up the good work - I really enjoyed it! At some point opening up to EU/Legends would add more layers, including the Yuuzhan Vong that Palpatine may have known about, and the like. I'd enjoy including the extra content in these debates.
May I ask the name of the novel
@@karanaher5030 trying was... less than successful, I'm afraid to admit.
@@bmwfury8103 there is no try ; ) FWIW I'd read it !
I know this is supposed to be satire, but you make really great points. You bring words to what I found unsettling while watching these movies for the first time as a child. The rebels had a far greater propensity for violence.
Things went south when jarjar entered the equation, the true mastermind and ring leader..
"Rest in peace sweet prince" 😂 🤣
2:58 "Palpatine has broken no laws" actually there was actually an anti sith law (which was forgotten though) so he has committed a crime, but also I agree with you.
Sounds like bigotry to me doesn't it?
@@robertpatter5509 lmao it basically is
Anti sith law is like a law prohibiting the practice of someone's religion. Doesn't sound live a very just law to me. Perhaps palpatine taking over the republic and making it less discriminatory torwards people of a different religion would only lend him more moral justification.
Actually the law was removed because they figured why keep it if the sith no longer exists so it was no longer illegal for him to be a sith
No Sith, Jews, or Irish. I get it!
There's a refreshing lack of rebel apologists in the comments
Order 66
UthersonL The Empire did nothing wrong
The Empire bring some order tô the galaxie. No War. But the rebels always want the useless republic.
I'm calling C3P0 "The Great Deceiver" from now on.
They gave me a honest living
8:30 "Now cracks a noble heart. Good night, sweet prince. And may a band of angels sing thee to thy rest." -Horatio.
Well technically the Jedi did do treasin and palpatine didn't lie
These storm troopers are miss understood
Lol @ "the Jedi version of the Hitler-youth". Nice comparison.
I honestly think that by the time of Endor the empire had the right to shoot at the rebels from first contact.
let’s all not forget the millions of imperials that died during the terrorist attacks on the two death stars. there were more than just military personnel on the space stations as there were plenty of janitors, caterers, mechanics and technicians, all of which were killed without thought. they were just earning credits for their families at home and they were killed without thought
The Jedi left all those younglings alone in the temple, with clearly no guards to look after them, in the middle of a war. They put them in danger, and when Anakin showed up you could see that they were so scared, they asked Anakin what they were going to do, but I think they knew the truth at that point: there was no escape. The enemy had them surrounded and it was only a matter of time until they were captured, tortured and then executed or sold into slavery. Anakin knew it too, which is why he did what he did. Killing them was a mercy at that point.
In short the Empire saved those younglings from an even worse fate than what awaited tem if they had been allowed to be captured by the Empire.
Good video I like the series. BUT can you adjust the mic volume? I have my speakers cranked up in order to hear. Keep it up good work
Been watching you for years, since your original "empire was right". Glad you're making content still.
Thanks, glad to hear that you're coming back around!
It's not a bad problem to have, but the pandemic made me super busy at work, I'm hoping to make TH-cam a bigger priority in the new year.
Cheers!
@@IAmJimHuss thanks for replying, you made my day. Not all TH-cam creators are that accessible. I'll always keep an eye out for your stuff, even if the algorithm doesn't let me know about when you upload, lol.
I look forward to seeing you around!
Hopefully, I'll be uploading soon🤞
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
I 100% unironically agree with this. Proof that Poe's Law actually is a real thing.
...the thousands of comments automatically blocked by TH-cam further prove Poe's Law.
@@IAmJimHussmy lord, I humbly beseech thee... Will we see more content such as this?
Those who gave likes are The In Galactic citizens of the Empire.
Those who gave dislikes are The Violent Rebel Scum.
I mean, this is all great, but it kinda ignores that Palpatine himself engineered the crisis which led to him getting emergency powers.
This is talked about in great detail in the following video.
th-cam.com/video/6DZHISx42lo/w-d-xo.html
Legends Grievous’ backstory is the best example of why the Empire was right to come to existence.
The Huk tricked the Jedi and the Republic into thinking the Kaleesh were the baddies, when they were really fighting to save themselves from slavery and famine!
So the old Jedi Order and the Republic were blinded by their own vows for peace to notice the true story.
I just noticed that vader means father in dutch... so spoilers from the beginning?!?
I laughed at “Sidebar- *covers whole scene of Palpatine slaughtering squad of Jedi*”
How you do these without laughing hysterically is amazing. Keep up the good work.
Who said I didn't?
This one was about 30mins of raw audio before I edited down.
Why would he laugh when presenting the clear evidence that the Empire did nothing wrong?
A Wamp Rat is that creature that the Storm Trooper is riding in Episode 4. A Wamp Rat is like a space cow that makes the blue milk. 100% of Wamp Rats are domesticated farm animals similar to a space cow. A T16 Sky Hopper is basically a space version of a ATV. Basically Luke flew around his neighbors houses shooting their farm animals for fun. Luke is a psychopathic serial killer.
no, that was a dewback
Still messed up.
Thank you for the PR Jim! It's about time someone informed the public about the beautiful lie that is the Jedi. May The Force, serve you well...(intense masked gaze)

C3P0: The Great Deceiver. A more perfect description there shall never be.
Can you do a the Separatist were right video? I love these videos!
Well I mean its obvious they are good.
11:55 look where Hans hand is
I noticed that after re-watching Return of the Jedi.
The great thing about this is is shows just how powerful perspective can be
“C-3PO, The Great Deceiver” 😂
The Internet's Janitor would approve of this video
*PS: NEW SUB*
Jim, you missed something. You say that the Jedi had no right to arrest Palpatine, but him being a Sith Lord means that he trained Dooku and led the Seperatists in the Clone War.
Not only did he engage in skillful diplomacy by making friends with potentially dangerous political factions, he also didn't let his previous personal involvment with those people influence his loyalty to the republic he was elected to.
@@stefangadshijew1682 damn writing like Jefferson.....
The Galactic Empire( Peace-loving space meritocracy) are trying to bring peace, prosperity, stability and security.
I feel you are rather sarcastic about this, but I really do believe the Empire was perhaps not “good” but legal, righteous and completely justified in all of their actions. Frankly an Empire centric movie would be a lot better than the Rebel propaganda we have in the 9 movies.
You have to admit, the Ewoks were a bunch of ingrates. The Emperor notes twice that it was a "sanctuary moon"--an area set aside for their society. All the benevolent Empire asked in return was to position a shield generator there. Seems more than fair.
But NO! Those annoying little furbags turn against their benefactors. Total ingrates.
Not to mention that the Empire left the Ewoks alone in peace. The Rebels used 3PO’s threats of extermination to force the Ewoks into a war knowing the Ewoks have eaten innocent people (how else did they get that dress?)
When you say it like that this action by the rebels sounds even worse than how the video made it out to be
@@hggs4466 the Rebels are worse then the video makes them out to be.Plus in the comics it’s implied that the rebels ate the stormtrooper that the Ewoks cooked and read to them. The musical part in the end even shows an Ewok playing drums made out of the heads of stormtroopers. The fact that the Ewoks can communicate and build houses shows that they are intelligent enough to understand morality, but after convincing them they where gods, the rebels further encouraged the Ewoks barbaric behavior, this is like finding a village of cannibals, using technology to threaten them into war, then making them perform human sacrifice of your now defenseless enemies
I honestly cant tell if this is a joke or not, the words and tone you use to describe the "Non violent" empire are hilarious. Either way its great. Just maybe next time turn your mic volume up lol
There's a couple of things:
- The comparison between Adam and Eve and the destiny of Anakin Skywalker doesn't hold up to scrutiny. Why? Because foreknowledge and Destiny arent the same thing in this case especially when as it pertains to free will. For example: If I'm watching somebody on youtube play a linear story-based game that I've already played before , I have a awareness in saying "I know how this ends for the person playing the game" that's what makes it foreknowledge. Does that mean that they were destined to utilize the same time and or strategy to complete the game? Absolutely not.
However, key points in the game were predetermined because the character was purposed to take that path, that's what makes it destiny. Likewise with the analogy, God had foreknowledge but didn't rob Adam and Eve of their agency nor were they meant to eat it. Anakin was destined to bring balance to the force so certain thing were meant to happen because that was the purpose for his life but who knows if it what supposed to be the way that he did it. Why didn't he take the Ahsoka Tano approach and become a grey Jedi?That's pretty much as balanced as you're going to get. Even Kylo Ren said how both sides were flawed to him in the last Jedi.
- When you make the statement, the stormtrooper overreacted and called for help @ 7:09, are you saying that he called for help to restrain Han Solo, to give medical attention to Han Solo or to help fight the Rebels? Because if it's the first 2, then I highly doubt it. why because He was already on the ground he could've arrested him right then and there dragged him to a base that allowed for medical attention whilst still being arrested. Cops do that all the time. Here's my thing: the stormtroopers in that particular scene weren't smart. You mean to tell me that spaceships, hover bikes, and laser swords exist but they didn't have enough sense to simply radio the location in so that all the troopers could converge on their location for a highly wanted fugitive (possibly top 5 in the galaxy)?
I thought you said that the stormtroopers were peaceful. The trooper at @8:54 definitely wasn't peaceful. Luke had his guard up which was different from the battle Vader. (Side note: if Activation of a lightsaber is aggression, then you can't have it both ways, Darth Maul activated his lightsaber first during the final confrontation with Qui-gonn and Obi wan on naboo. So either Luke and the other Jedi was in the right all those other times they activated the lightsaber first Darth Maul as a sith included or the opposite is true) The trooper turned around when Luke was already meters behind him, far enough to where he could've ran away and Luke wouldn't have done a thing to stop him. That stormtrooper shot first just like Han did, again can't have it both ways. I'm not saying the Jedi was right but I'm not saying the Empire was right either. They're both horrible in their own ways.
-The trooper that died because he was distracted was his own fault.
im not sure if you get the joke
@@th3highwayman he's a rebel apologist
Thank god, the armour of the stormtroopers is often strong enough to let the peacekeeper inside alive, and in the worst cases, just some organ damage, wich is not lethal, in most cases. A nice long bacta bath and a little vacation will, thankfully, fix them.
However there are certain parts of the armor where it doesn't save the ones inside them, and Leia, as well as most rebel insurgents, know where these weak points are.
@@alduintheanti-dragonborn
Yeah, even the Ewoks knew where to shoot their arrows. Leah blabbed to them I guess.
Palpatine DID make the first blow, but I still see your point.
Also, the only reason the Ewoks teamed with the Rebels is because the Empire built on their territory, so as far a primitive species goes, I don't blame them for attacking the Empire.
Yes but they built there bases in a way to minimize the affect on the forest
I really want to know how normal empire citizen lived
So do I. It would be interesting to see how they lived.
I would watch a video about that.
TheDestiny In constant fear of a terrorist attack by the rebels.
2 words: Operation Cinder
Great, stable jobs with great state benefits and healthcare, lots of structure and feedback on performance during employment. Lots of bread and circus. The Empire will rise again.
Well played bud, I've just watched the entire series, and all I can think is "angry upvote".
same
That whole Anakin bringing balans to the force is the biggest meme ever. Also he didn't even do that right. Cal Kestis. Ahsoka Tano, Taron Malicos (who turned to the dark side), Ezra bridger, Kana Jarrus,
He kill almost ALL Jedi. Ashoka was a Grey " Jedi" she was not so useless than a Jedi.
All the dislikes are from bloodthirsty tyrannical loving Jedi sympathizers.
AKA- CHILD MOLESTERS
Remember- The JEDI like em Young...real young.... 🤢🤮🤮
(* ￣︿￣)
🤯 My childhood was a lie.... Thanks 😂
Technically it looks like order 66 was an extreme emergency plan in case the Jedi became tyrannical!
Please stop! This is so brilliant, I can't breathe anymore from laughing!
I never make comment, but WOW what a good argument to the way history is seen
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
Very interesting, it's clear that once a side is morally legitimated they can do whatever evil they want. I'm tired of movies were the "good" people kills dozens, and the "bad" people captures them without even hurting... supposed to be evil?
RIP Brothers in Arms
FIRST IN PREMIERE LETS GOOOOOOO
So the empire did nothing wrong...from a certain point of view.
I wonder if it's possible to make Sauron a good guy? Now THAT would take some work...
🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪🤣🤪🔪

I miss a chapter dedicated to the ewoks and how they cook their prey alive.
Oh my god🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ how could I have missed that?
So refreshing to see the other side of the story! And then there's Kraya, who hated both sides of the Force.
This is why i believe qui gon jinn is one of the only good jedi. He follows the force not the corrupt jedi order
Your videos are hilarious and interesting
I really love this take on things!!!!
11:55 Han Solo copping a feel on the princess.
Not going to lie, these videos are pretty amazing and I am sure are inspired by Clerks.
Thanks for the compliment!
It was more of The Empire Did Nothing Wrong on Reddit.
Ok the storm trooper chase actually hit deep
Jim Huss JNT, what are your thoughts on Adam and Eves Sin? I’m a little confused as to where you stand, the sin they committed was done and they were punished for it, God did know they would sin but it would be unjust for him to not give us a choice, that’s something God wants to give us, a choice.
its like putinga candy on the floor, and then telling a todler not to eat it, someone who doesnt know right and wrong and doesnt know disobeying a command is wrong, and then put a talking snake there to make the toddler go eat the candy anyway, he knew it was gonna happen and did nothing to stop it. and a choise, like that pharaoh wich he gave a hardened heart, that god is evil
Elysia God is not evil, he specifically told Adam and Eve that it was wrong, him knowing that they would swim does not forgive them from sinning, a father knows his children will do wrong things even when he says not to, but that does not mean the father does not punish his kids and discipline them.
@@mrshadrack8554 they had no idea what good or bad ment as they had no knowledge of that prior to eating the fruit. but he basicly setup a trap, knowing they would disobey him, and the punishment was throwing them out of the house, could he not forgive them? give them a second chance? but the most interesting part in this whole story is the snake, it is the only character in the story who does not lie.
@@mrshadrack8554 why would god put temptation there to begin with if he knew the outcome then punish him for it ? Sounds evil to me
Now i see what i never saw in star wars
Hating on "evil" is hateful too. I wouldn't call these videos satire at all , but rather useful insight , lost over the years. Rebels in our real life has always been only interrested in starting wars , therefore useless suffering against a working system. Not to mention a waste of resourcees.
In the Clone Wars, they attack Ahsoka.
No one does that.
I think you forgot the fact that C3po was made by Anakin Skywalker. So, any deceitful tendencies you talked about, 3po got were made by your hero, Lord Vader.
I have another thing to point out. Han Solo was going to shoot the Ewok chief after being surrounded by the ewoks. The ewoks are just creatures trying to eat to survive. The rebels got in their traps and the rebels was their food.
Yes I agree with you
2v2 seems like a balance restored, prophecy has been completed
i knew aways knew deep down that there was good inside the empire when i was a kid
Your moral instincts serve you well
The erroneous attitude about the empire being morally evil comes from a typo in the opening crawl of the first film which accidentally put EVIL EMPIRE instead of BENEVOLENT EMPIRE. My understanding is that it was left in due to budget constraints.
After watching the series thus far, i can certainly see your perspective. It indeed comes from a pragmatic view of their situation.
While war is ultimately pointless, in the fray, reason would be needed.
Though, it's probably more as Machiavelli first envisioned.
This video brought to you by Coruscant Lawyers Inc. Proud supporters of our benevolent empire
Yeah the Jedi definitely feel like an out of control military faction who desire to maintain and grow thier power!
I feel so bad for stormtroopers
We will watch your career with great interest.
I agree with everything except when you said that palpatine did nothing wrong. He kinda did the entire clone wars. But windu and his boys didn’t know about it or have any proof, therefore they still couldn’t arrest him.
I wonder if Anakin's purpose of creating balance is why Vader was so single-mindedly obsessed with hunting Jedi despite not really having a reason to particularly hate them.
He was obsessed with hunting Jedi is because he wanted to destroy all reminders of his past failures. Vader hates himself more than anything.
