Resolved: The Dark side of the Force are the actual "good guys" in Star Wars.

A good guy is defined in the debate as 'Any person who is on your side', so for my arguments in this round of the debate I will focusing on actions committed by the Sith that would go contrary to what people would approve of or what would be good for people, indicating that the Sith were 'not on their side'1) Destruction of Alderaan by the Sith Alderaan, a planet of likely billions of people, was destroyed by the Sith AFTER Princess Leia gave up the location of a key rebel base, essentially meaning the Sith killed billions of people on an entire planet just for sh*ts and giggles. The Sith were not on the side of the people of Alderaan, and assuming most people are against the destruction of planets for the hell of it, this means that the Sith are not 'on your side', meaning that they are not the good guyshttp://starwars.wikia.com...2) Dissolution of the Galactic Republic and subsequent consolidation of powerIn Star Wars Ep 3, the Republic is reorganized into the First Galactic Empire by Sidious himself after using the Jedi's attempt to depose him for being Darth Disious as political gain, wiping out the voice of the people in the former republic on all government affairs while establishing a dictatorship in the process with himself at the very top. Autocracy directly goes against what the people in the former Republic would have wanted, meaning that the Sith were not on 'their side', by extension making them the 'bad guys'. The dissolution and replacement of the government with a more centralized and dicatorial one, along with the flat out annihilation of other republics/democracies in later movies, only further demonstrates the resolve against the will/power of the people by the Sith, strongly suggesting that the Sith are indeed the 'bad guys'. 3) Killing Padawans in a holy siteIn Ep 3 while carrying out Order 66, Anakin now as Vader killed the remaining Padawans who had escaped an earlier assault by stormtroopers and were hiding in the Jedi Council Meeting room. They were likely unarmed and were looking to Anakin for help and protection, where at his hands they all died in cold blood. Killing kids is one of the things that people are unilaterally opposed to, and since the Sith carried out exactly that both in a church (The Jedi Temple) and again on those who escaped indicates that the Sith are very much not on the side of the people and are instead looking out exclusively for their own interest. Therefore the Sith are definitely not the good guys4) Use of tortureThe torturing of captives while controversial and even done to try to protect people is still a tactic frowned upon by a large segment of society, arguably a majority. The Sith frequently used torture in the movies, where it is implied that princess Leia was tortured to try to reveal the location of a key rebel base. The systematic use of torture by the Sith indicates that if most people in the time period did not approve of the use of torture, then this would make the Sith the enemies of the people and thus the 'bad guys'. Society in today's day and age are agains torture for the most part, indicating that civilizations in the distant future would likely be just as opposed to the idea of torture, if not even more opposed then we are today. http://www.gallup.com...5) Use of Human Cloning for warfareWhereas torture may or may not be approved of depending on one's political affiliation, human clothing is far and away more universally opposed by people regardless of political orientation, yet the Sith engage in precisely that for the creation of the clone army in Ep 2. To go directly against the will of the people and engage in human cloning, and also purely for the intent of carrying out organized warfare, is an action that likely would be universally opposed and condemned by people in the Republic itself and all around the galaxy, indicating that the Sith are looking out more for themselves and their own agenda than for the will of the people, further lending credence to the idea that they are indeed the 'bad guys' in the Star Wars universehttp://www.gallup.com...6) Construction of MegaweaponsThe 2 Death Stars and Starkiller base (That big thing in the poster of Ep 7 that everyone who has glanced at the poster knows exists by now) are, as their names highly suggest, weapons made with the deliberate attempt to try to kill as many people as possible, rather than focus on precision bombing/attacking that current militaries in our world try to focus more and more on. Minimizing civilian casualties in conflicts has been a goal of democratic militaries ever since the end of World War 2, so the creation of mega weapons that go directly against the concept of minimizing civilian casualties, and in fact leaving no civilians left to begin with, strongly indicates that the Sith care nothing for minimizing civilian casualties in conflicts. Alderaan was an example listed before as an instance of mass killings that were carried out by the Sith regime, but this argument points to the creation and operation of such Megaweapons themselves as evidence that the Sith are looking out more for their own benefit than the will of the people regarding the value of human life, who likely prefer that civilian casualties in military conflicts be kept to a minimum which the Sith clearly does not care for. Therefore, the Sith are extremely likely to be considered the 'Bad guys' in the world of Star Wars7) Deliberate breaking of deals"I am altering the deal, pray I do not alter it any further…"Vader to Lando Calrissian Though a more minor point to make, this scene shows more directly how the Sith alter and exploit existing deals they have with other people to benefit themselves routinely, and threaten the use of force and punishment against those who protest the alterations. This is done purely to get what they want, not what other people might want, indicating that the Sith are looking out solely for their own agenda, not that of anyone else who isnt one of them. Thus this is more evidence showing that the Sith are the 'Bad guys' since even when dealing with people they are allied with, they will imbalance an agreement more in their favor whenever they see fit, and use intimidation to force others to comply with it. 8) Palpatine selling out his own planet to become ChancellorOne last argument I'd like to bring up is how Sidious became Chancellor in the first place. The Prime Minister before Palpatine was a man by the name of Finis Valorum, ( http://starwars.wikia.com... ), who was ousted out of power by a vote of no confidence against Valorum following the failure to properly address the invasion of Naboo.Vote of No confidence in Ep 1: The planet Naboo, which was invaded by the Trade Federation that was secretly under control of then-Senator Palpatine, was also the planet that had elected Palpatine as its Senator to the republic in the first place http://starwars.wikia.com...So to summarize, Palpatine authorized an invasion against the very planet that elected him to represent their interests, in a political ploy to become Chancellor of the entire republic himself. Fast forward to after the vote of no confidence against Chancellor Valorum, where Palpatine was elected to power among his fellow Senators, not by the people of the Republic. So Palpatine seized power in an undemocratic fashion by going against the will of his own people by covertly authorizing an invasion of his own planet, and would then go on to dissolve the republic altogether and make himself Emperor. As the original leader of the Sith in the first 6 Star Wars films, this clearly indicates that the Sith go directly go against the will of the people of the galaxy, and go to no end as well, in order to achieve their own agenda and consolidate power to themselves.The Sith for all intents and purposes, are therefore clearly the 'Bad guys' in the Star Wars universe
