That's strange since the movies don't really try to give The Empire any redeeming values. It's pretty literally and figuratively black and white.

But The Empire has a better costume department. ...Man I guess I'm in.

If Star Wars was indeed a long, long time ago, that brand has some serious staying power.

Better costumes, better toys, no restrictions on the use of force power (can choke out anyone you like).

Let’s face it, Darth Vader is one of the coolest villains of all time. Tons and tons of kids who grew up on Star Wars fantasized about being powerful like him and choking out their enemies in the schoolyard.

Ever since I was young, you know, I hated dissension.

Among my peer group, it caused a whole lot of tension.

When the other kids were slouching, I would stand at attention.

And I've always looked so good in white.
