stormtroopers were awesome looking, vader was pure legendary (original trilogy) and the empire side just attracted the interest.
love my star destroyers, and sith lords, and stormtroopers. naturally i gravitate to the imperial side in any SW game. darkside all the way, they have the coolest stuff
i mean really, lightning and red sabers and huge im-gonna-destroy-your-planet ships? interceptors and advanced TIE's? the deathstar? who can deny the dark side?
my own preference of course, and note i am completely ignoring the destruction that is the new trilogy :/ in the orginal SW when the corellian ship flys through im kind of "meh" but as the star destroyer comes into view im all like "i WANT one of THOSE!"
and thats why i go imperial.
