    Many people wondered why the Emperor would need guards if he was so powerful. It wasn't just meant to keep his identity as a Sith a secret, but he also used his frail and old appearance to his advantage when he made his speech, declaring the birth of the Galactic Empire. It also makes the public think that someone would be insane to attack a weak and defenseless old man.

      Frankly, the depiction in Rebels pretty much proves my point in Disney not portraying the guard in a way that actually shows their competence and ability. Sure they suspended Ezra in the air with their force pikes, as that weapon is made to do, however after that they just sat there and let the Stormtroopers do everything else, I guess forgetting that they as well had weapons.

(To fit with the video's theme of Star Wars and Empire stuff.

    I hate SWOTOR because it has some genuinely great ideas and content but it also butchers the KOTOR elements and adds obvious rip-offs of PT and OT designs. You wanna know how to do what they were trying to do effectively? Look at the designs in Episode III. Look at the ARC-170 as a precursor to the X-wing, the Eta-2 as a precursor to the TIE Fighter, the Venator as a precursor to the ISD, Phase II armour as a precursor to Stormtrooper Armour.
    Then look at the Republic Trooper and die more deaths than Vitiate inside.
