The Galactic Empire, the ultimate "bad guys" of film. Cold, callous, destructive, and merciless. So... why are they so beloved by so many fans? What makes Darth Vader, Emperor Palpatine, and the rest the evildoers that you love to hate, or just love? Is the common man of the Star Wars galaxy actually better off with the Empire in charge? Ben and Zach dig in, and Zach has a real revelation as a result. See if you do, as well! Download today!

The New Jedi Archives is a comprehensive look at the Star Wars saga during all of its eras. Zach Hagenbucher is a fan from the very end of the Original Trilogy generation, and Ben Schultz is very much a part of that generation. New episodes drop every other Tuesday!
