Much as I love Star Wars, it does have some pretty big problems, philosophically speaking. For instance, is the Empire really evil? And that's not even mentioning midichlorians (gag) or the Virgin Birth (sputter). Of course, the link above doesn't really address the harsh disciplinary measures routinely used by the upper echelons of the Imperial Command (screwed up a mission? Hope you have life insurance…), or the purge of the Jedi (initiated by Palpatine, and not defensible IMO), etc. But it's still interesting to consider.
