This is only discussed until the establishment of the empire until its demise, and the beginning of the first force has already gone too far.
Aside from the fantasy elements of the Jedi Sith, in fact, we all know that the Galactic Empire is from the Galactic Republic. The Republic is actually a federal government. The lords of each place have completely independent sovereignty, and some of them are aristocratic governments. Otherwise, where did the princess come from, even if is an adopted daughter. The top level of the Republic does not have the ability to directly rule the civilians at the bottom, including until the early days of the empire. There is no such thing as the bottom civilians who can't bear the tyranny of the empire and rise up. Maybe the soldiers of the rebellion have this idea, but this is not the essence of the uprising . The key is that due to the development of the empire to a certain extent, through the clone corps, a military force that is not restrained by various places, and the establishment of personal loyalty, including the promotion of high-level empires, is separated from the influence of high-level officials from local power backgrounds. Governing every corner of the empire, the imperial army, from soldiers to high-ranking officials, is not loyal to the lords, but directly loyal to the emperor. The lords are about to lose their privileges and use the name of the people to incite the lords, especially the poor. , rose up and attributed the failure of governance to the empire. According to Star Wars itself, democracy disappeared in the roar of applause. Anyway, no matter how the emperor took it, the big one was taken.
In fact, this kind of story is not new at all, it is basically the chronicle of the Arab empire, but it is replaced with the background of interstellar war. Everyone knows that in the transition from the orthodox caliphate to the hereditary family system, the caliphate needs to centralize power, and the religious leaders are not enough to directly rule the military and political affairs of the empire. , The position of the Emir is very mysterious. Unlike the tribal elders, the elders are only loyal to the locality. The Emir is both the local governor and the representative of the caliph. Then the caliph wants to take back the local privileges, and the loyalty of the lords has been shaken. Isn't he a bare commander, and it is impossible to talk about taking back his power. No, he is not a bare commander. Except for the forces in the core area of the capital, he has no choice. There are local guards, then the tribe loses its privileges and opposes the central command. Where did the soldiers of the guards come from, there are places, they are not Arabs, and they did not fully convert to Islam at that time, who, Turks, Turks The Guards are directly loyal to the Caliphate and do not accept tribal elders to contain them. However, is it possible for the Turks to turn against the water? It is possible, but it is difficult for the empire to be strong, because once they turn against the water, they will lose their right to represent the central government and their strength will be weakened. All can crusade them. In this way, the caliph, the guards, and the local lords can reach a temporary balance. Until the Turkic tribes can not be left alone in the entire empire, they will always convert to the local area, and once they have to establish their own country, everyone Knowing that the Turks have ruled Egypt many times, I am not talking about Ottoman Turkey, but it was done earlier. This is also a side profile of the collapse of the Arab empire. The emirs have also been completely transformed into representatives of local strength, and the independent court has become a reality, nominally The empire eventually fell apart.
Star Wars is actually the replacement of the traditional caliphate to the family autocracy and hereditary to the republic to reorganize the empire. The emperor is the caliph, the revolt alliance, at least the high-level is the emir and tribal elders who are unwilling to hand over power and the central government wants to continue to control the privileges, and the soldiers of the revolt are instigating The tribal warriors and poor ghosts, the generals of the imperial army and the clone corps are the Turkic nobles and the exclusive guards, and finally the children of Lord Black are the Mongols.
Whoever really regards Star Wars as a dictatorship giving way to democracy, and evil can never prevail, can only say that you have been completely brainwashed. No matter the military or politics, whoever is worse than anyone can win and surpass. In contrast, Lord Black is so cute.
