'''Ian Flynn''': That's the thing, I think people are starting to get a little too lost in {{affabl|yEvil}}eness and how charming he can be. He's a bad person! He legitimately idolizes Eggman and all that he has done. Yeah, he kind of stepped out of his shadow but that's more to say "I can be better than my idol doing what he does". Starline is a bad man!\\

The deep lesson of ''Franchise/StarWars'' is that {{the Empire}} is good...Make no mistake, as emperor, [[BigBad Palpatine]] is a dictator -- but a relatively benign one, like [[UsefulNotes/AugustoPinochet Pinochet]]. It’s a dictatorship people can do business with. They collect taxes and patrol the skies. They try to stop organized crime (in the form of the smuggling rings run by the Hutts). The Empire has virtually no effect on the daily life of the average, law-abiding citizen. Also, unlike the divine-right Jedi, the Empire is a meritocracy... The Empire doesn't want slaves or destruction or 'evil.' It wants order. None of which is to say that the Empire isn't sometimes brutal. In [[Film/ANewHope Episode IV]], Imperial stormtroopers kill Luke's aunt and uncle and Grand Moff Tarkin orders the destruction of an entire planet, Alderaan. But viewed in context, these acts are less brutal than they initially appear. Poor Aunt Beru and Uncle Owen reach a grisly end, but only after they aid the rebellion by hiding Luke and harboring two fugitive droids. They aren't given due process, but they are traitors. The destruction of Alderaan is often cited as [[MoralEventHorizon ipso facto proof of the Empire's 'evilness']] because it seems like mass murder -- planeticide, even. As Tarkin prepares to fire the Death Star, Princess Leia implores him to spare the planet, saying, 'Alderaan is peaceful. We have no weapons.' Her plea is important, if true. But the audience has no reason to believe that Leia is telling the truth... Whatever the case, the important thing to recognize is that the Empire is not committing random acts of terror. It is engaged in a fight for the survival of its regime against a violent group of rebels who are committed to its destruction... I'll take the Empire."

->However ''[sic]'' Bhasa effects many interesting changes in the original story so much so that he portrays [[BigBad Duryodhana]] as a very noble and generous prince ready to give half of his kingdom to the Pandavas, digressing from the story line of [[Literature/TheMahabharata the epic]] totally.
