Heh. Yeah, I'm sure "the Empire isn't really EVIL" was foremost on their minds when the Death Star planet-destroying-superlaser was coming straight at them.
It gets better, though. EUniks claimed that those dirty stinkin' Alderaanians deserved it because they were anarchists trying to overthrow a legitimately-elected government.
Or they claim that the Empire at large did not know or approve of the destruction of Alderaan (especially not that dear, sweet, innocent lamb Mara Jade), and believed the Emperor's propaganda that Alderaan "destroyed itself with its own superweapons."
Um...Alderaan had no weapons, "super" or otherwise.
"Well, the rank-and-file Imperials didn't know that!"
Er...YEAH.
These are the same people who complain nonstop about "plot holes" in the movies and scoff at any explanations as "far-fetched."
