Not if you were HUMAN, anyway. The other races, including the more variant Near-Humans, not so much. (And since I’m convinced I’d probably be an Ewok if I lived in the SW-verse…) ---

Unless you happened to live on Alderaan, of course. Or any other planet which has any rebel sympathizers anywhere on it. ---

Right, but if the Rebellion hadn’t existed, that wouldn’t have been neccessary. According to the movies, the Rebellion was rebelling against the supression of the rebellion, and nothing more. Frankly, it was pretty much Leia’s fault - she dragged Aldaraan into the conflict by smuggling military secrets on a diplomatic shiop. ---

I’d choose Non, General Zod’s dumb henchman from Superman II. He is easily distracted, and shouldn’t be difficult to keep happy while the world continues as normal. His destructive urges can be channelled into demolition and mining projects. _“Great Non, the evil Piers Morgan has disrespected you, and is hiding in a quarry!”_ And if he really gets out of line, he can be cowed into submission with a couple hula-hoops and a mirror. ---
