I believe the "capitalist" route was used for a deeper reason. The Sith wanted a war but not just any war. They wanted to draw the Jedi out and only a droid war could do that. Corporate entities can use either mercenaries, clones or droids. Mercenaries would not cause a large enough war so that leaves clones or droids. Both of which can entice Jedi to join the war but droids are better. If the corporate Sith dominated CIS had used clones it could lead to a situation like the Mandalorian wars. Jedi order would schism but Plag and Palp didnt want that as it would create a new Sith faction with powerful enough members to endanger them and honing the skills of remaining Jedi to fight Sith lords. No, they needed droids specifically. Only megacorps could create the drone armies. The Jedi would easily join the war as destroying droids has low dark side danger, setting them up for destruction. The Republic side needed to use clones for the same reason. Had it used droids the Jedi would stay out of the war. Had it used conscripts order 66 would be hard to implement. Also, that war would be different relative to all failed Sith wars of the past.

That’s a really good point. I always wondered if Palpatine and the Sith were betting on the Jedi joining the war. What made the Jedi so beholden to the Republic to go to war for them, and not just dip out like in the Mandalorian wars and how did Palpatine know they would fight? If the Jedi did stay neutral it would have wasted the clones and ships and droids they were building in the decades before the Clone Wars. Am I missing something here or was the Sith Grand Plan just a massive gamble on whether the Jedi would join the war? Of course if they did stay neutral, because their Temple was on Coruscant there may have been mass public outrage and protest for the Jedi refusing to fight, turning public opinion against the Jedi like in the real story. It seems like Palpatine made it so no matter what happened he won in the end.

Severus Snape was a grand master of potions, so wise and so powerful, he could bewitch the mind, ensure the sense, bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper on death. Anakin-Put a stopper on death? How is this possible? Palpatine-The art and science of potion-making can lead to many abilities some consider to be ... magical. Anakin-What happened to him? Palpatine-He was years ahead of his time and held the strongest of feelings for a girl who eventually married his tormentor. When she died, the best of him died too. He would then have to train her son, whom had her eyes and greatly resembled the man who had bullied Snape. Eventually, the time came for Snape to tell Harry all his secrets.

The Sith Empire(s) usually have a long history of early works success against the Republic/Jedi until either the Republic finally has time to mobilize itself or the Sith fall into infight, drunk on their early victories. One of the amazing things about Old Republic is how it shows you this plain as day -- the Inquisitor story-line for the Sith Empire ends with you and your rival (another Sith Lord) ruining a major battle for Corellia by spliting the Empire's forces to settle your grudge match. It really does not matter who wins the rivalry because the Republic takes Corellia either-way. It is a nice microcosmic of everything wrong with the Sith Empire.

Star Wars (in the expanded universe, anyway) has one of the most interesting takes on galactic governance I have ever seen -- mainly, it does not work. In most sci-fi settings, they always yadda-yadda the explanation for how or why this or that works; from 40K's "inexhaustible armies" to Star Trek's more idealized "mutual understanding". Star Wars, though? Every major faction (Empire, Republic, CIS, Sith Empire) all had their own unique way of trying to administer some kind of system and they all fail, but what is interesting is that they all fail for a different reasons. The older I get, the less I care about space wizards and their glow-stick swords and the more fascinated I become by the complex political and economic systems shown in Stars Wars -- mostly in the expanded universe stuff.

Well, overall I'd have to say this video I'd quality like usual. However, I have to disagree that capitalism is the best system. While it may be the most efficient to some (I disagree on that point) you can't deny its major effect on many people for the negative. Corupt capitalism is what capitalist see as the ideal because they only care about their own wealth not the average persons. Also considering the state of the world right now it's debatable to say capitalism even works since it's kinda falling apart in front of our eyes.

The Sith used Capitalism because it was easy. Capitalism is blind and ultimately amoral. It’s not discriminatory based on anything other than what perpetuates itself at least in its purest form. All it takes is one’s ability inset oneself at a high enough position to corrupt it

Cant believe how well you navigated some pretty contentious real life topics without putting much bias one way or the other. I definitely have my preference and leaning, but didn’t sense you pushing the envelop one way or the other. That’s an awesome thing, especially since the focus shouldn’t be on that kind of stuff. Instead it should be on this fictional sci fi space wizard battle world

In all honesty the IGBF sounds very similar to the Federal Reserve. A private organization that controls and prints all the money used in the economic sphere in question. For Star Wars it's the entire Galaxy with Republic Credits. For us it's the dollar, the de facto currency of international trade. Even the slow removal of a stable commodity as backing for all currency has real world parallels. The gradual move from the Gold Standard, first by issuing paper backed by gold. Then paper fractionally backed by gold, one of the major causes of the Great Depression btw, then paper backed by gold you could no longer gain access to (thanks FDR!) And finally simply backed by...the hope it's worth something when even the semblance of a Gold Standard was abandoned (thanks Nixon!) All of this allowing more and more economic power and influence into the hands of a small group of people for their own aggrandizement. All we need now is a single person linked to this institution to show up on the world scene promising Peace and Prosperity if we follow them into a new age of human existence and BOOM! We have our own version of a Sith Dictatorship.

I never understood the whole debt thing cause like both sides owed the banks then the republic took over the banks then became the empire and they probably spent trillions and billions of dollars for the clone war yet the empire had enough resources to make 2 Death Stars

Of all the enemies to public liberty war is, perhaps, the most to be dreaded, because it comprises and develops the germ of every other. War is the parent of armies; from these proceed debts and taxes; and armies, and debts, and taxes are the known instruments for bringing the many under the domination of the few. In war, too, the discretionary power of the Executive is extended; its influence in dealing out offices, honors, and emoluments is multiplied; and all the means of seducing the minds, are added to those of subduing the force, of the people. The same malignant aspect in republicanism may be traced in the inequality of fortunes, and the opportunities of fraud, growing out of a state of war, and in the degeneracy of manners and of morals engendered by both. No nation could preserve its freedom in the midst of continual warfare. -James Madison "Yet the empire had enough resources for 2 death stars" Yeah, because it was a fascist command economy where the centralized state could, fairly openly, steal whatever resources needed for it's grand schemes(killing or imprisoning or enslaving those who resisted) no matter how much it effected the demand for goods and services across galactic markets.

@@davidordaz5251 It was too expensive for the republic which was ostensibly still a "free" government. Socialist or fascist command economies are not rational in terms of providing goods and services for those who wish to buy and sell them. Command economies are capable of taking the resources that would be used to meet needs throughout society and focusing it on their "pet projects". The Soviet union starved millions to death while putting a dog in space for example.
