Politics and Repression of Palpatine’s Empire

In this presentation, we are taking a dive into the dark side of Star Wars—the politics behind the Galactic Empire and how it uses fear and control to keep the galaxy under its control. From the rise of Emperor Palpatine, to the iron grip of Darth Vader, we’ll break down how the Empire runs on repression, surveillance, and raw power. We’ll also look at how Star Wars mirrors real-world politics and what the story says about resistance, tyranny, and fighting for freedom. May the force be with you.
