The Ewoks beat both! They captured the rebels strike team (Including the last Jedi in the galaxy) and could have killed and ate them, and they defeated a legion of the greatest stormtroopers.

The empire has cool suits...
And cooler stuff.

I honestly have no Idea how they lost, is it really that hard to hit a ship as big as the milenium falcon?

It has never been a dream of mine to rule the universe. However it has been a dream of mine to help oppress every living being in the universe, so Empire all the way.

I have to go with rebellion, 'cause I tend to get sick of the "playing the bad guy is cool" conformity going on all the time. Though, really, one thing I"d like to know is when they're going to stop living in the prequel era and move on to develop stuff AFTER the fall of the empire. There's a great big golden land of opportunity for movie, tv and video game development in the after-Return-of-The-Jedi era that so far has only been touched by books, comics and wookiepedia. I think I've seen one game set in the post-fall Star Wars years, "Star Wars: Dark Forces II." Geeze people can we stop living in the damn era of Anakin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks and MOVE ON?!

Rebel scum!

The Empire looks cooler, has cooler music, has cooler equipment, has cooler troops and are evil/guardians of law and order which always gets represented as evil.

The Rebels have walking carpets and don't even get screaming fighter ships!

Aren't there two massively popular video games set in the old republic, plus a MMO coming out set in that same time period?

Heh, I noticed, when I played Dark Forces II. And I did say I thought comics were continuing the story. But I think more mediums need to be brought in on this, like games. Seems like all the latest star wars games have all been about pre-original trilogy, post-prequel trilogy stuff.

Until the prequel trilogy, it was never made clear why there even was a rebellion. The empire didn't seem overtly evil in anything other than the destruction of Alderaan (and yeah, the fact that Palpatine popped up and said 'I'm evil!').
I want to see a selection of empire policies that made rebelling a necessity. I want proof that the people of the empire were sufficiently subjugated that removing the emperor was in their best interests. How do we know that the rebels weren't just entitled douchebags looking to replace the current fascist state with a pseudo-republic of their own control?
Read the books. That's all I will say. Also, if they're willing to blow up an entire planet of civilians just to make a point--keep in mind that many Imperials had family they, Tycho being one of them--then that should give you an idea of their policies.

I'm on the side of the rebels all the way. I want to be part of Rogue Squadron if I can't be a Jedi.

The Rebel Alliance shall prevail! I have always been a good guy so I don't agree with the empire. But the dark side is tempting....

Fine. When the original trilogy was first in production, and thus before the expanded universe had been delved in to
Who's to say (at that point) that the rebellion weren't a major problem for the Empire, and that Alderaan wasn't a hotbed of sedition, and thus suitable to be made an example of?

Neither. The grand and hilarious journey of the good ship, No, Don't Put That There! was one of no real sides at all.

Which do you prefer?
I really hate the Rebels (REBEL SCUM!!), and always root for the Empire in the games/films.

The Rebels have no cool stuff, and they just overall suck, except for a few characters.
What? The Rebel stuff looks kick ass, look at the goddamn X-Wing! The Tie Fighter in comparison falls short, in fact there's no reason it even has wings, the only reason planes on Earth have wings to force the air below it to push it up, with that gone (being in space and all where there IS no air) you could just get the wings cut off and have all these metal balls which are just as effective and are alot harder to spot and shoot at making them doubly more effective.

The only problem I have with the Rebels, is that if they are rebels, then why do they have so much idenetical equipment? Why do the fighters look all the same? Surely if they were a loose faction then there'd be a variety of equipment?
