We always get the blame, people think we are the bad guys, after all of the hard work we do to keep the galaxy in order we get called the bad guys? Hardly, we dress better than those Rebel losers, we are smarter, we are more organized... we deserve our name in lights, maybe our time will come, Imperials have been blogged by one of the best
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/001/248ipzbt.asp
Maybe we will finally get the appreciation we deserve.
pics coming soon of me and the dogs in our new VE shirts btw ;p

Great Essay. Interesting to read and well chosen facts. But I might say that it's not 100% believable.

I just want to point out that although it was a good read, there is no "we" unless you are actually a Stormtrooper. I doubt any of you are Stormtroopers.

I say we blow something up in the name of the VE.......better yet how about we write a book? and all profits benefit the VE therefore word would get out about the VE and Kadann would get some financial support for paying for the VE what do you guys think? ----------------------- He will give them death, and they will love him for it -Gladiator

I was obviously joking about blowing things up, we may not own the rights to starwars but how much could it possibly cost to write a book thats has no affiliation with the star wars plotline, and only borrowing George Lucas's world in order to make sense. ----------------------- He will give them death, and they will love him for it -Gladiator

But who would do the writing? I mean yea sure we could get all the best writers but, it would be kind of weird making a book with different writers. And it costs money to publish it and stuff like that, and if the books barely sell, then that would mean that Kadann spent all of his money for nothing. ----------------------- NightStalkers
