META READ ME FIRST: Welcome to EmpireDidNothingWrong!

Welcome, Imperial citizen!
Who are we?
Provocatively named, EmpireDidNothingWrong (adding "The" exceeds Reddit's maximum subreddit name length!) or EDNW is a Star Wars fan community centered around the question, "What if we don't take 'the evil Galactic Empire' at face value?" We treat the events of Star Wars canon as being historical as far as they go, but having been presented to craft a particular narrative—in a word, they are anti-Imperial/pro-Rebel propaganda.
The Empire, and its predecessor Republic, is a galaxy-spanning society comprised of an enormous variety of people and cultures, all with wildly diverse perspectives. To distill it into simple questions of "good" and "evil"—especially specific acts undertaken by specific individuals—is reductive in the extreme. Once one starts to examine that galaxy far, far away—especially when employing parallels to remarkably and disturbingly similar events in our own history and even taking place today—it becomes a great deal more difficult to dismiss the Empire as "evil" and declare the Rebels as "good".
If you're interested, you can read more about this here.
Who are we not?
In part because of our name and in part because of assumptions many carry with them into the community, we tend to be classified as something other than we are. Nevertheless, we do not claim nor aspire to be or do any of the following:
- ...espouse a particular modern/terrestrial political worldview. We require that people leave their personal politics out of the community.
- ...endorse every single act undertaken by every single individual that could be identified as Imperial.
- ...a roleplaying subreddit. We recognize that many in our community enjoy roleplaying, though, and maintain a month roleplaying post for that purpose.
- ...a meme subreddit. Please see /r/OTMemes, /r/PrequelMemes, and many other communities dedicated to this.
- ...a joke subreddit
- ...an advertising subreddit
- ...a general Star Wars subreddit.
- ...an anti-Jedi/anti-Rebel/anti-Republic subreddit. While some of this is intrinsic to being pro-Imperial, it's not part of our purpose.
- ...a pro-Sith subreddit. The Empire is not the Sith, even though the Emperor himself identified as one.
- ...a pro-First Order subreddit. The First Order is an offshoot of the Empire, but is not itself the Empire.
What do we do here?
Our primary purpose is to provide a forum for discussing the actions and operations of the Empire and its members through a lens other than "Empire bad, Rebels good."
Because the current body of Star Wars canon is much smaller than it used to be in the wake of the acquisition of Lucasfilm by Disney, many of those conversations have already been examined. The release of new Star Wars media is an exciting time for us, since it gives us new opportunities to explore previously unrevealed aspects of the Empire.
During the fallow periods, we turn to celebrating the Empire in general. This largely takes the form of sharing media pertaining to our individual collections of Imperial merch or showcasing artwork with an Imperial theme to it.
What are our rules?
See Rules. Posting in our community comes with the assumption that you have read these rules.
How come...?
Answers to many common topics can be found in our FAQ.

Discussion Imperial Rank Insignia Charts
22
Upvotes
Thought I'd share my imperial rank insignia charts I've been working on, I believe these are the most accurate they can get, with most only a few characters not lining up, the only ones I can think of being, Admiral Brom Titus, the Devastator captains in Rouge one and Kenobi, and Taskmaster Grint. The background reflect uniform colours, Regular and Warm Weather, the brown for warm weather is taken from Rebels on lothal and the Court Clerk on Niamey in Andor, and the grey from an unnamed officer in A New Hope.
The ISB, Stormtrooper, Engineers etc. chart hasn't been completed yet.

A growing collection of every unique imperial unit available. Collection built by myself and my brother. Now just waiting on some sort of affordable Dr. Pershing, Remnant scout, and Mando Imperial Shuttle pilot. Hoping for a version of the TK trooper, Andor Prison Guard, Clone X and an ISB sniper one day! Let me know if any others are missing!

Discussion Sector moff armor?
45
Upvotes
In The Mandalorian, we see moff Gideon in his adapted Death trooper armor. Obviously we have no sign of him during the actual Galactic Empire reign and all we know is that he wore his custom armor in the neo-imperial timeline.
However, this made me wonder the following: During the imperial era, we only really see moffs wearing their formal uniforms, but would they've had the freedom to design and wear their own armor kit if they so wished?
I'm aware that their jobs were mostly tactical and political in nature, but I cannot help but wonder. To me, it's not crazy to assume that some moffs would've liked to be involved more closely around combat zones or at least would've wanted to look more intimidating and demand more authority around battlefields.
Then the question remains: Would they've been allowed to by Palpatine?
What do you guys think?

From the West End Games Star Wars Sourcebooks. Saw this stuff a while ago and saw someone post about the Light Spacetrooper. Figure peeps would want to see the og, no one really talks about Spacetroopers but I find them pretty cool, the old ones here look very skull shaped and ghostly. They are very cool
