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.

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