I don't really care about the Empire, I just hate the Republic.
What a bunch of hypocrites. At least the Empire knows it's evil, corrupt and accepts it, so you know you will expect treasons. The Republic, the other way, think they are the good and the free and blablabla but in reality they are much as corrupt. The cases of Jedi falling to the darkside and politicians being corrupt makes the Republic look weak, fragile and untrustworthy.
