The reflective surfaces on inner ring of the republic fleet show the imperial fleet in the reflection. A small detail, but one that does little to shake the feeling (after playing both sides to lvl 50 in mirrored classes) that the imperials got more love from our benevolent overlords. I prefer Jedi (in the abstract), and find the empire dialogue choices to be trite and unsatisfying, but the imps have a more responsive feel and more fleshed out story lines.
