How racist was the empire?

not very

not racist enough

Under Disney, not at all. They now praise the BBC and have female commanders everywhere.

In the EU books they were pretty xenophobic, but not racist towards other humans. They didn't like alien races at all, so it was weird that Thrawn was a Grand Admiral. That was something they brought up in the books.

>empire is racist nazis
>black female captains and black troops
What did disney mean?

Aliens created the separatist war, there was a reaeson

They aren't the only race in the galaxy you know.

Human supremacists can be a thing.

Didn't the writer claim they were white supremacists anyway?

Whats the problem wit that?

The writer was mad at /pol for reasons.

Wookies are citizens too, the republic understood that.

This. The most you could say is maybe they hate on aliens.

Xenophobic but occasionally allowed aliens in like Thrawn. I'm not aware of any canon evidence that would point to them differentiating between different humans in a way that could be considered racist.

ethnicity =/= race

you done seeking attention?

Stop, Hera is pure.

explain this

He said a thing that wasn't true. The empire had a black female grand admiral (Rae Sloane) and Iden Versio is modeled after her actress a Dutch/Indian woman. The empire was never "white supremacist" and racism among humans isn't really a thing in Star Wars.

B3cause they are the most populous race in the galaxy

It was supposed to be extremely xenpohobic, Thrawn is the odd one out in his position, achieving it through sheer brilliance. On the other hand all men under his command other than the noghri backstabber were fiercely loyal so I guess the rank and file were more open to alien officers.

They're human supremacists, not racists.

In the new canon, I don't think they're really racist/speciesist at all really. The second highest office of the Imperial government is held by a non-human. The first Grand Admiral is a Chiss. They may be mostly made up of humans, but I don't think they have a policy against other races like in the old canon. That's all rebel terrorist propaganda.

>How racist was the empire?

They were pragmatically xenophobic. The Emperor used the Dark side of the Force to inspire and control his admirals and Moffs. This manipulation was easier to perform on humans than on aliens. So The Emperor organized his military to be primarily composed of humans.

Other alien races barely mean shit for new canon anyway, nowadays they just make up new ones for every shot, and add humans everywhere. Wonder how humans managed to out breed everyone to such a crazy degree

>Wonder how humans managed to out breed everyone to such a crazy degree

Would you breed with your own kind if you were a droopy-mouth, earth-tone alien with squinty wide-set eyes?

no condoms and feminism to low the fertility rate

you're far dumber than you think

Only whites are human. We've known this for years now.

Mas Amedda was the head of the ruling council and officially second in power to Palpatine himself. Thrawn was the first and best Grand Admiral. Another of their Grand Admirals was a black woman, as was one of their best TIE aces.

The Empire wasn't racist or xenophobic really. They just didn't like less civilized species that lived in the forests like savages such as Wookies and Ewoks, got rid of the Geonosians because they were disgusting bug creatures with a hivemind that took over living corpses and knew too much and enslaved Twi'leks because they basically rebelled as a species... but the women were probably treated quite well. They also blew up a human-centric planet in Alderraan because they harbored terrorists. They had no particular prejudices. Loyalty to the Empire was the most important quality.
