People like Tarkin and Palpatine look at Macchiavelli quote regarding the fact that if a leader can't be loved and feared, feared is the preferable choice and make it the basis of their lifestyle; ignorat that's only half of the phrase, the rest is: but never ever be hated, because hate have the tendency of overcome fear
I feel like the outer rim, despite its dangers, offers so many adventures and opportunities. If I could choose where to live in the Galaxy it would definitely be the outer rim!
i think that living in the outer rim is only worth it if you join some community with the capability of stay hidden from the empire and be able to defend themselves against pirates and looters
I would want to live in the outer rim during the times of the old republic. Somewhere with a diverse climate and isolated from the wars of the jedi and sith, why old republic era? The aesthetic is fucking awesome looking that's why.
I'd think for those of us living inside Ukraine, formerly living inside Ukraine, living around Ukraine or in Russia - life is more terrifying than even the early days of the empire. Open warfare, risk of conscription, accidental mis-shelling...
Damn. The whole sorry war breaks my heart, so much that I don't really have the words to speak about it with. I hope you and your loved ones are able to stay safe out there.
For a second I thought the New Order part meant the sequels, I was gonna say at last we finally get an explanation of the First Order "taking over the galaxy".
Why put shite on Lucasfilms, when in reality it's those who control it like Disney, however that being said, I still agree with you in the fact the GT has great content that is better then current "Disney" suite, although I do enjoy their original stories like Mandalorian
@@hgtrftfr Marvel (under Disney) seems to be cleaning house, but LucasFilm is hopelessly compromised. I enjoyed Andor, Bad Batch, Clone Wars S7, and Mando. Everything else has been 💩
@fergawesome3732 that's what I mean by original stories, they are great and I would go so far as to join them with Georges star wars but the sequel trilogy is just a copy and paste
I love this so much. Thank you you are the best providing a very good correlation between reality and fiction. And to me you are the best Star Wars channel among the many
Remember when during season 1 of TCW the AT-TE enter the capital of Ryloth cheered by the crowd? It was really sad to the same AT-TE used as an instrument of oppression.
I think being alive in the Old Republic days would have been worse, Sith armies, Mandalorian armies, Jedi warlords untethered by the Rusan Reformation, Force cults, an untamed Outer Rim and constant warfare.
Take a rest break, you deserve it. Some new things will come along that suck up your time like the Acolyte soon enough. Fascinating video though. Your points at the end about the futile inevitability of Separatist holdouts fighting the Empire hearkens to the thing going on in a very sacred place that I won't mention explicitly to avoid idiotic consequences/making this comments section a target. The people there are pressed to their breaking points and even though that's used to supposedly justify making everyone around them targets they don't have any choice but to resist because otherwise everything will be stolen from them anyways. And the handful of decent people are shut out from positions which would allow them to exercise that.
I don't know if that's was the worst time to be alive. The Infinite Empire was really bad, the Eternal Empire was bad, all out war between the mandalorians, the sith, and the Jedi during Reven and Traya...was really bad. The time of Rey's Jedi order... was by far the worst.
In the novelisation of A New Hope Luke discusses precisely that - Imperial agents posing as Rebel recruiters and then shipping anyone who takes the bait to Kessel. The implication is that this is actually happening across the galaxy.
I'd say the Pius Dea period was the actual worst time to b e alive in the SW galaxy. My favorite summary of that era: "That time the star wars galaxy went on a bad acid trip and tried to be Warhammer 40k for a while". Basically the Republic became more evil than the Empire at its worst (again basically trying to emulate the Imperium from 40k) to the point that the entire Jedi Order went "#$%@ this, we quit!" and went into hiding, latter leading a rebellion that overthrew the Republic's now super evil government.
Relative peace only lasts for a short time in the Star Wars galaxy. War is literally in the title of the franchise. Tha being said. The mid rim or the Corporate Sector might be the only "safe" place to live.
I think the lose of the new republic and rise of the first order is the worst time because no one is safe, with the rise of the empire it’s actually pretty safe unless you’re a jedi
Before this video starts I’m guessing inifinite empire or yuzonvong war since during the yuzonyong war it was basically genocide for any system not in the new republic and the new republic was pretty new so they were under tremendous strain already and inifnite empire because there was almost nobody to go against them and they were the cruelest empire pretty much ever
I don't know -- I think being one of the quadrillions of people and/or on one of the hundreds, if not thousands of planets wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong would have sucked a lot worse than dealing with the Empire. Also, I cannot hear the 'Twi'lek" accent without thinking that they should be shouting at the Empire "your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"
Oh come on man, you can't honestly tell me that the end of the clone war period was worse for the average citizen than the time of the sith empire under darth tenebrous, when the dark council couldn't go a year without enslaving or even killing entire planets of their own citizens as part of their endless betrayals and power struggles. the longer the emperor's reclusion lasted, the crazier those sith lords got. the galaxy was an ocean of blood and suffering for decades on end for no reason other than vitiate wanting the dark side strengthened or what about the rakatan empire? i can't imagine what it would be like to be enslaved by such, and they had basically enslaved every non-rakatan sentient being in the known galaxy by the peak of their civilization i bet any one of those folk would have gladly traded places with a random outer rim denizen during the fall of the republic
"Worst time to be alive in Star Wars" The Resurgent Sith Empire begs to differ, with a literal dark side demigod trying to consume the entire Galaxy....
Lego just released a Darth Jar Jar minifigure
It took them long enough to acknowledge him as a Sith Lord, although in a very cowardly manner.
The upcoming Lego Rebuild the Galaxy has Darth Jar Jar. His reveal is hilarious, "Mesa gonna hurt yousa."
Epic 🤘🏻🤘🏻
No freaking way, I'll need it if it exists
It's for rebuild the galaxy, so a star wars what if like marvel did...
People like Tarkin and Palpatine look at Macchiavelli quote regarding the fact that if a leader can't be loved and feared, feared is the preferable choice and make it the basis of their lifestyle; ignorat that's only half of the phrase, the rest is: but never ever be hated, because hate have the tendency of overcome fear
Damn I never knew the entire phrase. And it makes sense.
Man, your channel is a near constant source of awesome Star Wars content. The hard work that goes into this is much appreciated!
Thank you for the Darth Phibious nod. The 'Mouse' is going to make that Gungan Sith Lord, 'canon'...
I feel like the outer rim, despite its dangers, offers so many adventures and opportunities. If I could choose where to live in the Galaxy it would definitely be the outer rim!
Nah too many pirates and criminal organizations for me give me the Mid Rim or the Core any day.
i think that living in the outer rim is only worth it if you join some community with the capability of stay hidden from the empire and be able to defend themselves against pirates and looters
Also systemic and structural problems such as poverty, crime and lack of democratic participation are more common ij the outer rim
if i was poor id rather live on some outer rim world, than in the underworld of coroscant.
The outer rim is like living the Mexico and Eastern Europe at the same time
I love how he actually plays the clip with darth jar jar
It's hilarious just how many years that's been a joke.
It's not a joke...
Mad how many conflicts in the world are reflected in media.
I would want to live in the outer rim during the times of the old republic. Somewhere with a diverse climate and isolated from the wars of the jedi and sith, why old republic era? The aesthetic is fucking awesome looking that's why.
Yet again you the give the best overall look at the star wars . Thank you.
Good overview of post clone wars and early imperial life.
I'd think for those of us living inside Ukraine, formerly living inside Ukraine, living around Ukraine or in Russia - life is more terrifying than even the early days of the empire. Open warfare, risk of conscription, accidental mis-shelling...
Ukraine is one huge crypto and land laundering conducted by you know who…
Damn. The whole sorry war breaks my heart, so much that I don't really have the words to speak about it with. I hope you and your loved ones are able to stay safe out there.
For a second I thought the New Order part meant the sequels, I was gonna say at last we finally get an explanation of the First Order "taking over the galaxy".
There is an explanation. It's called "bad/lazy writing".
Your videos are so informative. I am way behind as I was on a trip recently but I will get caught up. Please keep up the great work!
Go, Allen, go!!!!📣🥂🍻
Thanks again Alan , great work👍🖖🏼🙏😇!!!
Your SW content is literally better than anything LucasFilm has put out in the last year
About the only SW content creator I can agree with thst on. I actually enjoyed rhe acolyte myself, but Allen has great content
100 percent agree! And i worked there for 23 years! Brilliant work and analysis to our times now
Why put shite on Lucasfilms, when in reality it's those who control it like Disney, however that being said, I still agree with you in the fact the GT has great content that is better then current "Disney" suite, although I do enjoy their original stories like Mandalorian

Please make a video on 200 First Order Stormtroopers vs 200 Clone Troopers
Edit: and now i will watch the video
Seeing 200 Sith assault troopers vs 200 of Palpatine's Clone Troopers would be nice, though.
"Try being alive in the last days of the Republic."
I am trying. I totally am.
I love this so much. Thank you you are the best providing a very good correlation between reality and fiction. And to me you are the best Star Wars channel among the many
And that time would be known as "The Disney Era", Disney used to touch our hearts, now they touch us inappropriately.
The music for this one was brilliant…
I always look forward to your Star Wars insights. And that color looks great on you.
LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE
Remember when during season 1 of TCW the AT-TE enter the capital of Ryloth cheered by the crowd?
It was really sad to the same AT-TE used as an instrument of oppression.
Hope you are doing well today! :3
Thanks for the video.
Allen, what would happen if the Borg assimilated someone who could use the force
Hey generation tech, I love you
I think being alive in the Old Republic days would have been worse, Sith armies, Mandalorian armies, Jedi warlords untethered by the Rusan Reformation, Force cults, an untamed Outer Rim and constant warfare.
From the perspective of long-lived species like Wookies, Star Wars covers the equivalent of a really, really bad decade.
That idiot of a farmer in the Tales of the Jedi had to learn the “Safe and Secure Society” the hard way
Take a rest break, you deserve it. Some new things will come along that suck up your time like the Acolyte soon enough.
Fascinating video though. Your points at the end about the futile inevitability of Separatist holdouts fighting the Empire hearkens to the thing going on in a very sacred place that I won't mention explicitly to avoid idiotic consequences/making this comments section a target.

And the handful of decent people are shut out from positions which would allow them to exercise that.
When is it ever a good time to be alive in the Outer Rim?
Under the empire
I don't know if that's was the worst time to be alive.
The Infinite Empire was really bad, the Eternal Empire was bad, all out war between the mandalorians, the sith, and the Jedi during Reven and Traya...was really bad.
The time of Rey's Jedi order... was by far the worst.
You did a great job selecting the icon for this video. It is very disturbing and very well illustrates the point and title.
GREAT video.
“RUclips Crypto Pushers” would make a great name for a band.
Back in High-School I was briefly in a band with a couple of buddies of mine that we named The Hamster Liberation Army Crack Suicide Squad
I'd say the worst time was the Pius Dea era from legends. It was so bad that the Jedi had a civil war. If we're talking strictly canon then maybe.
A good prolog to Andor.
I 🧡💛 Generation Tech
Why didn't The empire have huney pots . Agents possing as rebels
In the novelisation of A New Hope Luke discusses precisely that - Imperial agents posing as Rebel recruiters and then shipping anyone who takes the bait to Kessel. The implication is that this is actually happening across the galaxy.
The Darth Jar Jar moment caught me off guard.
Well played good sir.
How were driods scene on Seporatist worlds
Al, your genius is showing again... 😶
From the thumbnail, I feel that the Empire doesn't like Vsauce.
🤔 Well, in the Star Wars universe, there never seems to be a GOOD time to be alive......
🖖🏻👽🛸✨️
🌌🔭
If the Outer Rim had a decent log ride, that would make it a lot better!
Personally I’m convinced 2024 is the worst time to be in Star Wars. At least, so far. 😒
I think we’ll be fine :)
Lmao I’m literally watching Andor right now for the 5th time and that thumbnail gets me sad because I liked that dude😅
What will your next 📹 be?
Thanks Alan! Tell me does anyone who doesn't know history or pay attention to
the world around us get any of these? 🤔
Just Wondering🤷🏼♀️👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Yeah
I'd say the Pius Dea period was the actual worst time to b e alive in the SW galaxy. My favorite summary of that era: "That time the star wars galaxy went on a bad acid trip and tried to be Warhammer 40k for a while". Basically the Republic became more evil than the Empire at its worst (again basically trying to emulate the Imperium from 40k) to the point that the entire Jedi Order went "#$%@ this, we quit!" and went into hiding, latter leading a rebellion that overthrew the Republic's now super evil government.
Glory to to the empire long may it reign
Can we just agree that Alan and co care more about star wars then the writers do
Gotta agree
The Empire is not your enemy so do not panic, we will bring you order and protection a life in the empire a life for the future. Long live the Empire
Relative peace only lasts for a short time in the Star Wars galaxy. War is literally in the title of the franchise. Tha being said. The mid rim or the Corporate Sector might be the only "safe" place to live.
Very Nice 💜
Can you please tell us what happened to imperials that were captured after the galactic civil war
Citizens should not fear their governments. Governments should fear their citizens.
I know Ahmed Best took a lot of unfair crap, but I'll bet even he laughed at that Robot Chicken skit (assuming he didn't voice it).
This really reminded my of the story of Darth Starmer and his oppression of the indigenious people's of the United Kingdom planet.
I thought Ryloth just stopped fighting not surrendered their weapons?
In Star Wars, what if any would be considered “cryptocurrency”? Imperial credits? Sith currency? Anything the Hutts touched?
AH CRAP PLAGUEIS TO?! I BETTER GET A LOT OF LAND MINES
So it sounds like the US is in pre-Phantom Menace times regarding your description of the Trade Federation’s actions.
Who would win, Cham Sendulla and his partisans or Saw Guerrera and his? 🤔 I need a video on this!
LONG LIVE THE EMPIRE!
I think the lose of the new republic and rise of the first order is the worst time because no one is safe, with the rise of the empire it’s actually pretty safe unless you’re a jedi
Anybody else see an odd resemblance between Jar Jar Binks and Ted Cruz.
What about Eriadu and other Outer Rim worlds that were fully pro-Imperial?
Open Fire Open Fire
Before this video starts I’m guessing inifinite empire or yuzonvong war since during the yuzonyong war it was basically genocide for any system not in the new republic and the new republic was pretty new so they were under tremendous strain already and inifnite empire because there was almost nobody to go against them and they were the cruelest empire pretty much ever
During the height of those eras I’d say that it was the worst time to be alive
"Taking care of your constituents is the most important part of your job"...
Something I wish our current and future politicians would remember?🤨
The same good guys in the prequals with the republic .are the same good guys in origionals against the Empire . With rebelion no former Seporatist
I don't know -- I think being one of the quadrillions of people and/or on one of the hundreds, if not thousands of planets wiped out by the Yuuzhan Vong would have sucked a lot worse than dealing with the Empire.
Also, I cannot hear the 'Twi'lek" accent without thinking that they should be shouting at the Empire "your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries!"
Lots of copy rights strikes going on out there
✌✌
are you going to watch the future star wars movie with rey? or have they taken a complely different directions that the star wars universe is Fk'd?
Jar Jar is totally a sith. c:
Yes it was Darth Jar Jar all along.
This is what happens when a galaxy Sith-ed the bed!🔥👹👍🔥
This video is a total Outer Rim Job!😳👍✨
Something to remember, WE live in the outer rim of OUR galaxy...
True, but as of yet we haven't heard from anyone in our Galaxy's core worlds
Oh come on man, you can't honestly tell me that the end of the clone war period was worse for the average citizen than the time of the sith empire under darth tenebrous, when the dark council couldn't go a year without enslaving or even killing entire planets of their own citizens as part of their endless betrayals and power struggles. the longer the emperor's reclusion lasted, the crazier those sith lords got. the galaxy was an ocean of blood and suffering for decades on end for no reason other than vitiate wanting the dark side strengthened
or what about the rakatan empire? i can't imagine what it would be like to be enslaved by such, and they had basically enslaved every non-rakatan sentient being in the known galaxy by the peak of their civilization
i bet any one of those folk would have gladly traded places with a random outer rim denizen during the fall of the republic
👍
My allegiance is to the Empire, to Imperium.
Try being alive during the fall of Rome! When the Vandals and the Visigoths began ransacking the countryside.
So whats worse? Living in that time or live in france?
That would largely depend on your planet.
Nice spats
Y. Vong War was the worst but anytime where Jar Jar was alive was the worst
✌
Outer rim Rules!!!!!!! Thanks my name is Steph🤣👊✌️
I like the Idee that we in our real world go back in time to change the skript so that Palpatine not take over the galaxy.
"Worst time to be alive in Star Wars" The Resurgent Sith Empire begs to differ, with a literal dark side demigod trying to consume the entire Galaxy....
He finally got a apartment on the higher level coruscant
I blame Jar Jar Binks.
If you thought being under the bootheel of two Sith was bad just wait till I tell you about the Sith Empire and how horrible that was for people.
Depends where you were and what species you are. For chiss allies wasn't too bad
If you were on a planet that was glassed, you were out of luck.
Why is the booy so tiny lol
