I never said I sympathise, I said it's possible.
If, however, I was playing a Sith and, for RP purposes, wanted my character to still be "good", I would be completely adamant that the Jedi annihilated my people, forcing us to near-exctinction, and would no doubt do it again if we gave them but a chance.
Agree, disagree, whatever. Star Wars lore means very little to me, hence my plan to be a no-loyalties Bounty Hounter. The Empire has my credits, yo. (In regards to switching sides, I would quite like this to be an option. If I'm a supremely powerful Bounty Hounter and some mega-rich Republic officer or whatever wants to hire me... I want it to be possible.)
Forgive the mega comma splicing.
