Mar 25, 2017 at 10:55 comment added Valorum @thegreatjedi - Palpatine's primary aim was the development of his battle station. He was (at least according to 'Tarkin') made Grand Moff so that he could better coordinate the materials and manpower needed without having to wait for the Emperor to order the other Moffs to do what he asked.
Mar 25, 2017 at 10:32 comment added thegreatjedi @Valorum Thing is, criminal empires thrived under the Republic for a reason. An Empire cracking down without hesitating to use deadly force is always bad for business. Also, the appointing of Tarkin as Governer of the entire Outer Rim doesn't look like Palpatine has "little interest" to me either. If the criminal empires have armies strong enough to resist the GAR from simply seizing those hyperspace lanes from criminals, why not throw the Empire out?

Mar 19, 2017 at 23:19 comment added Harry Johnston @Valorum, on the other hand, the Stormtroopers didn't hesitate to push their weight around at Mos Eisley. Wasn't that considered Hutt territory?
Mar 19, 2017 at 13:18 comment added Valorum I should imagine they continued on much the same tack. Palpatine had little interest in the outer rim planets
