Serious question, how the hell does the empire maintain so much loyalty?

[Kill Dat Noize]

imagine you're the dude on the right.

lol why did you even take this job? what are you fighting for?

even at the beginning of ROTJ, the dude in charge of overseeing the construction of the second death star receives death threats for not getting the job done fast enough.

how do vader and the emperor demand so much loyalty?

 

[Blackout]

Usually through fear.

Usually through fear.

so everyone in the empire is just a bunch of slaves? i find that hard to believe.

perhaps vader and the emperor are the ones that feed the governors, and it is them the soldiers are loyal to? that might make more sense.

Well what reason would they have not to fear Vader and the Emperor?

but why fight for the empire and not the rebellion?

imagine you hear a fellow stormtrooper at the lunch table, "hey i hear over in the rebellion the generals don't kill their squad fighters for lack of subordinance."

Fear is strong. The Empire is powerful.

Earth has had a history of the same scenario that guy is in.

The rebels had just won their very first victory against the empire at the beginning of A New Hope.

That means they'd been getting their asses kicked for 19 years.

Why would any imperial join the rebellion at this point?

Not to mention the rebel soldiers were probably getting paid peanuts, if at all.

because it's a children's film with card board cut out bad guys and that's what evil bosses do to their subordinates

it's funny how people try to make sense of out of a movie where teddy bears defeat military soldiers with rocks and sticks

 

[TKOK]
