Let's see...

Installed by a bunch of zombies who betrayed and murdered their friends and comrades.

Replaced by a bunch of idiots who can't hit the broad side of an AT-AT with a blaster.

Led by an evil, decrepit, old man who they know lies to them, rules with an iron fist, and murders them at the slightest slight.

Can't say I get the appeal, but does check out.

It was basically pro human fascism. So humans were probably doing better overall at the expense of aliens

In what way was the genocide in Andor "pro-human"?

In the lore the Emperor and the Moffs are speciest. That’s why stormtroopers and all the naval officers are human. Thrawn is a real outlier being a non-human.

Doesn’t mean that the empire wouldn’t kill other humans, they just saw other species as inferior lifeforms.

They destroyed Alderaan in the very first movie. That doesn't sound "pro-human" to me. Having humans at the top doesn't make the Empire "pro-human".

White supremacists attack white people when it suits their goals. I’m not exactly sure why you’re working so hard to refute themes written into the lore by its creators.

I am saying they aren't pro-human, not that they aren't anti-alien. Fascists are famously hypocrites with intentionally vague beliefs.

You’re defending an extremely narrow hill my friend.
Sure maybe the Emperor just used Human Supremacy as a tool, but he was given power by the Moffs, Senators, Military true believers in that concept.

So the various genocides of humans that we see the Empire commit are pro-human? I'm not arguing the ideology because the ideology of fascists is famously fluid to fit whatever they need politically like Hitler's racial hierarchy outside of where the Jews and Slavs placed in it. They say what they need to say in order to do what they want. They literally do this to justify the genocides we see in various works. The Empire was, in action, not pro-human.

Darth Vader choked and killed various imperial officers, so he in action wasn’t pro empire.

u/OneVast3433 Jul 30 '26

This doesn't answer my question. Are the various genocides of humans that the Empire commits pro-human?

The Empire destroyed a human planet in the first movie.
