Senator Palpatine has to be one of my most favorite characters.  He's supposed to represent pure evil but at face value, if you've never heard of him you'd think he was a humble monk.  He recognizes  the destructive nature of evil and avoids luxories.  In a dual with  he states  "your arrogance blinds you, Master Yoda," which says to me that even the masters of evil still have enough sense to rise above it.

He's not like Jabba, who is on the other side of the evil spectrum, basking in as many base pleasures a mob boss could ever want.  No, the emperor gets off on pure, structured control.  Making storm troopers out of clones so that they look, think, and act alike and if one has a zit the other doesn't, it doesn't matter cause they all wear masks.  They stand in rows and kill non-human species.  They're space nazis.

I wouldn't call Jabba evil. The whole freaking race of Hutts are greedy and selfish. They worship money and power. It's pretty much the nature of all Hutts.

Why Jabba the Hut is evil:

He's a crime lord who employs assassins and smugglers.
He delights in torture
He keeps slave girls
He once fed a slave girl to a Rancor
He eats live food... a lot.
He kept Han Solo as carbonite trophy
He's a fat, slimy, greedy, slug.

Cultural differences are one thing but when they extend their practices of slavery and torture onto intelligent, space faring races, they should be treated as an evil threat on the galaxy with the swift, non-bureaucratic justice only Senator Palpatine can bring! PALPATINE FOR EMPEROR!

Han got carbonited for losing Jabba's spice. It wasn't just that Jabba decided that he was going to have this man trophy. Han worked for the Hutt and fucked up.

Being a crime lord doesn't make him evil. Employing assassins and smugglers doesn't either. Being an assassin or smuggler also doesn't make you evil.

You and I are just going to have to disagree here, on our ideas of evil. Jabba's not an evil character to me. He's not a nice guy by any means, but I think he's a far step from evil.

He didn't just feed a slave girl to the rancor, either. He fed a lot of people to the rancor.

I spent last weekend in Madame Lazonga's tattoo parlour & thought of you.
