The Empire was wiped out by Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher. Not that strong.

and he killed the trade federation dudes.

Imagine all the lives that would have been lost if we had decided to fight the communists back then right after WWII, and how well the entire world would be living today.

You mean like what happened in all the countries where we backed fascists in place of communists? Yeah, their standards of living are so high!
