Anti-human bias in Empire??

[quote="IRG CommandoJoe"]And even Daala had to sleep with Tarkin to get to where she was. And he held her back from her true potential.[quote]

Daala DID NOT SLEEP WITH TARKIN!!!!!!
If you read the context of the statment it is Daala musing about the other Imperial Officers and their attitudes. BTW Tarkin had the officer who suggested this killed so whether or not if it true niether Daala or Tarkin apresiated it. Held her back, he put her in charge of the Empires most secret instalation! It seems to be his most trusted position to me.

I don't believe the Emperor was racist, he was too smart for that, racism isn't evil, it's stupid, please don't insult evil in that way again

He did use it though to further his own ends.

Randomly? It isn't random. Wouldn't you agree raping someone is an evil thing to do? So if he's done everything in the book from sadistic torturings, genocides, enslaving races, destroying worlds, starting wars, and is a Sith Master, why wouldn't he be a rapist as well? Could you answer that? Isn't it logical to assume that because of all of his power of the galaxy he wouldn't take advantage of Mara Jade, who was practically brainwashed to follow every single order he gave her? And you might think it is a little too racy for Star Wars, but is it really? What about Leia being Jabba's slave girl? It is obvious he raped her. That is probably why she took the time to personally kill him.

I think Palpatine had Iceheart for that. Besides, how would sleeping with him benefit the Empire? Mara was brainwashed, but brainwashed into following his orders to benefit the glory of the Empire. And IIRC, Leia was chained to Jabba's um...recliner. Which means that if she hadn't killed him, anyone trying to cut her loose would get some of his tail in his face. Not exactly pleasant. Ergo, kill Jabba so that you can cut yourself loose without getting whacked.

The problem with the EU is that I get a lot of my information from message boards such as this one. I haven't read a lot of EU books, but know the general plot lines and new technology and stuff.

I remember someone saying on another message board for a Homeworld SW TC that Daala slept with Tarkin, Tarkin stole her tactics, and he assigned her to the Maw facility to guard it. But his real intentions was to keep her under wraps and use her tactics and such for his own advantage.

In other words, he told the Emperor of all the great tactics and got all buddy-buddy with him. That was why he was assigned to command the DS. I find that very believable that he just killed that guy to gain her trust and manipulate her by putting her in charge of a secret installation.

The fact is that anyone could have guarded that installation. It was so secret that no one else in the Empire knew of it, there was almost no way Rebels could have accidentally found it, and this remained that way for years and years after Tarkin's death.

So why else would he have put her there if he did not use her for his own advantages? He could have been less of an asshole and actually present her tactics to the Emperor and say it was hers, and then he could have recommended her to be commanding significant forces on the battlefield.

Besides, how would sleeping with him benefit the Empire?

It wouldn't. But it sure as hell benefits Palpatine.

And IIRC, Leia was chained to Jabba's um...recliner. Which means that if she hadn't killed him, anyone trying to cut her loose would get some of his tail in his face. Not exactly pleasant. Ergo, kill Jabba so that you can cut yourself loose without getting whacked.

She could have just gone on the other side behind him, have Artoo cut her chains, and then get the hell out. But she strangled him to death. Much more effort for someone that only licked her and then had here sit there doing nothing. He raped her.

He did use it though to further his own ends.

How? There is no way racism benefits an empire unless it is used to unite it. Like what Hitler did. And this did just the opposite. Everyone oppressed by the Empire joined the Rebellion.

By the way, it might be that most of the Imperial leaders aren't too comfortable about odd-looking aliens, but Palpatine should be less bigoted. For example, his Clone army was made by aliens who looked like they recently crashed in Roswell, and according to AoTC, the Death Star was designed under supervision of the mosquito-like Geonosians and the reptilian Neimoidians were almost instrumental in Palpatine's schemes.

Palpatine only used these aliens to fuel his takeover of the galaxy. That is all he used them for. This explains why none of these aliens are ever seen again. He probably had them all wiped out or enslaved or whatever, along with everyone else in the Senate and his whole "cabinet" of aliens and such.

It seem to me that the Emperor , surrounded himself with poeple that he know that he could manipulate, and human first crowd was the perfect foil. Remember the statement of how you can force could sway the weak minded to me the Racist are the weak minded..

As for his policy toward woman, he was a guy, with the power to effect the mind of woman, but I doubt he slept with Mara.. But it seem to me the bit about Anakin being a Virgin birth is a little hard to believe, could it be that the Emperor is really Anakin father and he wipe the memory of the mating from Anakin mother..

[IRG CommandoJoe]

I doubt that part. Why would he go to some backwater world and make whoopee with a slave? LOL
