While you have a point about the Ewoks VS Stormies, you do realize that though the Battle of Endor was based off a certain battle in history, the Empire is almost entirely based off of the Nazi army, who wanted to just blow everyone up on the basis that they basically just weren't like them? George Lucas may have some... different views, but Star Wars as a whole, I like to think, encompasses a point for every view. Despite the Battle of Endor, I still see the Rebellion as the lesser of two evils. Besides, as Candace pointed out in P&F SW... THE EMPIRE BLEW UP A PLANET FOR NO REASON.
Not trying to argue or change your opinion. Just sharing mine.
Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what your or my views are. If it did, George Lucas would be removed from the company by our hands and we'd be running the show, and he'd be erased from history. He calls the shots (or rather, called the shots, since Disney's doing their own thing now with the franchise). And really, comparing the Empire and the Rebel Alliance is no different than arguing Nazis are bad and Soviets are good, even though they were BOTH evil (in fact, at least in terms of body count, Communism was even WORSE than Nazism). Or better yet, claiming the French Revolutionaries are good and both Nazis and Soviets were evil, even though all three are exactly the same.
And as far as blowing up a planet, technically, they DID have a reason as Alderaan was confirmed to be supplying aid to the Rebel Alliance (need I remind you that Princess Leia, one of the leaders of the Rebel Alliance, was actually the Princess of Alderaan?). Yes, it was bad that they had to go, not denying that it was very evil of them to do so, but the Empire did ultimately have a reason to blow it up.
