    Palpatine exploited an already crippling problem with the system. When it gets so bad that a Corporate Entity can unilaterally invade a Planet that's a memberof the Republic, then the Government is in the crapper regardless.
    I'd point out that the Trade Federation invaded *after* Palpatine gave them the OK.

      How come no one has explored these dark sided subjects?

      1. The taboo incestestual lust between Luke and Lia?

      2. Are the robots homosexual?

      3. If Darth is a-sexual then why does he/she/it need a women for offspring?


      4. What was the foul stench lia smelled from Tarkin?

      5. What is the connection of only having one sith lord and one whatever you call it? Homo?


      Just a few but you git the picture

        Kids these days will do anything.


        2. Are the robots homosexual?
        As futurama teaches, they are robosexual.

        3. If Darth is a-sexual then why does he/she/it need a women for offspring?
        He was heterosexual, now as a half-robot/half-man he is heterobosexual, though some call it "robertosexual".

        4. What was the foul stench lia smelled from Tarkin?
        halitosis

        5. What is the connection of only having one sith lord and one whatever you call it? Homo?
        It has to do with the peculiar ettiquette involving Sith formal dances.

          I thought from the first movie he had no father or something like that?

            His mother was just embarrased that she fell for the Jedi mind trick in some bar.

                              The Republic didn't have a military because it hadn't needed one for more than a thousand years. What could be sweeter than billions and billions of sentients living together in harmony with no need for weapons? If that's corruption I'll take a double dose of it, thank you! Obviously Palpitine used his dark powers to hide the growing threat. It wasn't the corruption of the Republic that led to its downfall, it was the insidious subversion from within. Oh, and the Jedi Order was nothing but a bunch of lazy lay-abouts. It was their fault too. It was their job to protect the Republic from the dark side and they failed miserably.

                                Yeah, so?

                                It wasn't Palpatine that kept the Senate from doing anything. It was just the nature of the Senate.
