10. Vader as your wingman (I think a guy who can strangle underlings
over a videophone is the kind of guy I want watching my six)

9. Fighter names that don't just rattle off the alphabet

8.The Empire, like the good custodians of the galaxy, uses solar
panels. (Take that you fossil fuel burning Rebel scum!)

7. Real men don't use sheilds! (I bet those X-wings have seat belts
too!)

6. White uniforms show all the dirt.

5. "Greedo's Guide to Bounty Hunting" not included in Imperial
handbook.

4. Two words...Death Star

3. When confronted with bad news, Imperial officers don't scream
"NOOO!" and jump down bottomless shafts.

2. Quick promotions when working with Vader

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON IS...(drumroll please) BUM BUM BUM

1. John Williams' Imperial March ('Nuf said!)
