Now I love the Empire and see many good sides to it...but I cringe at people who defend it with so rabid enthusiasm and claim it did nothing wrong (as many of those same arguments they pull can easily apply to Nazi Germany, which worries me to no end), and it definately had very big flaws on the personal level, with high level officers being thugs.

A promising Imperial cadet stumbled upon the AT-AT's weakness involving their legs and found a way to compensate. Rather than promote the guy, Colonel Veers ended up pulling favors to discredit him for humiliating him and his pet project, and the cadet ended up as one of the random Stormtroopers on Tatooine.
