Despair Was The Empire’s Greatest Strength

The Death Star may have been capable of destroying entire major planet , but the Empire had a much more effective weapon at its disposal . The Empire ’s big weapon was desperation , andThe Bad Batchgave an in - profoundness view of how the Empire used it . The Empire almost broke Omega by giving her a constant , inescapable procedure . She rebelled against Hemlock and Dr. Karr , but just before she escaped with Crosshair , she was much less antipathetical . The Empire could n’t give Omega a common sense of despair , but she was far from normal , and the scheme would belike have had a much larger effect on average citizenry .

There ’s no point in scrap against an opposition that ca n’t be beaten , and the Empire did an amazing job of convince people that they were there to stick from the very beginning . At the start , the Empire did n’t need to vanquish individual rebels , they could permit despair take them out of the fight before it even lead off . It was a genius plan , as more obvious examples of oppression would have only inspired citizenry across the galaxy to take up arms against them . transfuse despair in this way would have been barely recognizable as oppression , intend people were much less likely to rebel .

desperation is a utile tool , but it is n’t easy to nurture in mass . alas , the Empire was more than capable of oppressing its subjects in a diverseness of ways , both overt and subtle . The Empire win over people across the galaxy that they were both inevitable and long - lasting . Because of that longevity , the Empire was able to stomp out hope in its enemies and quell many rebellions before they even began . The Empire only end up lasting about 23 years , but that did n’t stop over them from sending the message that their sovereignty would be eternal .

The Empire Was Always Playing The Long Game

Palpatine had luxurious plans for his Empire , and Project Necromancer only leaven that he believe it would last much longer than it did . Palpatine believed he would rule the galaxy constantly thanks to Project Necromancer , which would have bolster his weapon of despair . If Palpatine , the most public form of the intact Empire , was immortal , it would have meant the intact Empire was immortal as well . His power to resurrect himself infinitely would have gone a farseeing way in convincing the beetleweed of that .

How Did The Empire Convince The Galaxy It Was There To Stay?

By the prison term ofA New Hope , much of the galaxy could not conceive of life without the Empire ’s presence . Though it had only lasted about two decades , the Empire had permeated every part of everyday life-time for much of the galaxy and become a raw material of life . The Empire convinced the Galax urceolata of its longevity in the same way it attempted to convince Omega : by being a never-ending presence in every bit of every daytime .

If a person need to travel , they had to provide an majestic chain codification . If they wanted to buy something , they used regal credits . If they committed a crime , stormtroopers arrested them . Every part of spirit in the Galax urceolata far , far away admit the Empire in some room . After intimately two decade , many citizenry would have forgotten what life-time was like without the Empire ’s involvement .

Project Necromancer was evidently crucial to Palpatine , as it was the key to his own eternal life , butThe Bad Batchalso turn out that it would have helped the Empire as a whole . The desperation from Project Necromancer would have ensured people abide by with the Empire . It would have been much promiscuous to get them to exercise in a mine , join the military , or do any other task , as follow was simply easier than fighting back against an eternal Empire . While they had planet destroying weapon like the Death Star , if Project Necromancer had mould , they would n’t have needed to give notice it at all .
