I think you're on to something!

Technically, yes, in that distant galaxy, the eating of a sentient species by another sentient species counts. The Ewoks are literally  Space Aztecs, down to the mistaking someone for a god. The irony is that C3PO is golden, which the Ewoks like, but the majority of Aztec gold was stolen by Cortez and his band of mercenaries. So maybe that twinkle in their eyes when they catch sight of 3PO is more sinister than we think?

I’ve actually been called a Rebel spy. So, does that mean I have to fax all this intel to Mon Mothma? 
 
Because I’m not her biggest fan...

Agreed completely. The bad guys have the best uniforms.

Yeah don't get me wrong. I'm not going to stop dressing up in Imperial uniforms. They look awesome. A good villain is better than a good hero in fiction (and Star Wars has both, fortunately). But I'm not under any illusions as to what they're meant to represent.

Evil is a point of view

I don't necessarily agree. The way I read that crawl, that could be propaganda from Rebels. It's like real life, one man's freedom fighter is another man's terrorist. 
 
I also know the EU very well, and there's a theory out there that Palpatine made the Imperial war machine to combat the Yuuzhan Vong. Has the Empire done evil things? Yes. It could be argued that the Rebels did too. 

Some of the best advice I was ever given for costuming overly serious/slightly intimidating characters.
"Head up, shoulders back, walk like you've just been sent to kill Captain America."

It worked very well for Kylo, but I found it carried over pretty nicely for officers as well (if not better. Apparently I have a somewhat intense face if I make an attempt)

The other piece of advice I can give is develop your officer's character! If you know who they are, what their likes and dislikes are, and how they behave, you'll have a way easier time and people get really into it. My First Order officer is really freaked out by Kylo. I've had small children try to fight him for me. It's adorable and they love it.

Having used my gauntlets yesterday to try and free a trapped venomous (but not deadly) snake in my garden I wondered what other ussage people have got out of their uniform?

In m opinion you can use any accent you want. Sometimes it's an american one. Sometimes it's an English one. Eli vanto has a kinda southern twang in his accent according to the thrawn audiobook. So say just go with what you're most comfortable with. Lol

That's great! I have been so tempted to get into the Lego world, but I have been reluctant to do so.  With a 3 year old, you gotta be careful with what you have lying around the house lol. The last thing I want to see is the destruction of a third Death Star  

And Krennic is with potter's wheel

This is bowl from era of the Galactic Empire in it's greatest time. You can see very simple ornament with imperial vessels and short inscription. This kind of pottery was very common on worlds where Empire was very welcome.
 
(ok, I'm archaeologist and I made it in work  )
 

okay I've been silent for a while but I've made my fixes and submitted my new uniform https://flic.kr/s/aHskzWVCkx

There are other sellers on Etsy that make complete belts as well. Some pretty nice ones too.

A happy father's day , is being able to watch the original trilogy  (undisturbed of course ). well there is always next year. Ha ....

I was told it's Imperial Dignitary

Well, I have a lot that I say and do. I have worked on things with my prior service experience.  There are a lot of thing to do to keep up appearances. 
 
1). Greet people as citizens.  If you throw in something like "good morning citizen. How are you on this fine imperial morning." Or " welcome citizen, so not worry. My troopers and I are here to cleans this area of rebel activity. It will be safe again shortly. ". Try it out. It's fun.
 
2)  what I call the trooper blinkins.  After a "citizen" takes a photo. Stop them and ask to see the photo. At which point a trooper or helmeted character in the group gets a down dressing. (Let them know ahead of time you might do it). Mine goes... "Citizen may I see the photo. I need to check that my troopers preformed their duties well.". They show you the picture. Then, " trooper blinkins!  You did it again. You blinked when I ordered you not to blink! ".  And have some fun with it.
 
3)if someone is just walking by, interact with a greeting of citizen. Then warn them of viscous ewok activity in the area. Or if near a parking lot. Warn of jawas stealing motivators from parked speeders in the vicinity.
 
4) more photo fun.  When a "citizen" goes to take your photo. State "make sure to get my good side. Not my dark side". Most everyone will laugh. It's a good ice breaker for adults.  
 
5) you could talk about how tough it is to be a imperial trooper. How on jeda you could get beaten up by a blind Jedi temple guard. And had issues with little aliens charging you yelling, Admiral akbar! And blowing themselves up. 
 
Honestly I have a thousand lines. But just work with the crowd. It's a fun interaction that you want. And the "citizen" will remember.  

Adding on to what Jaunty said. You could try to analyze the politics in Star Wars, but that shouldn't mean you need to personify it accurately. After all we are bad guys doing good. Emphasis on the good not the bad. If anything, our character should be a parody of the real empire. All in good fun. It's nice seeing a star wars debate where fans aren't at eachother's throats. Lol

Or NBC? Man, I'd love to watch Rittenhouse HQ get destroyed on that screen! (Timeless reference!)

But does it get HBO?

The basic storyline was not new or innovativ, Coaxium is obiously the new Unobtainium, but considering all the horrible things we've heard before the movie started (differences between Disney and the directors, change of directors, reshootings, etc...) it turned out quite good and I was positively surprised. I really liked the beginning at Corellia and seeing all the Star Destroyers in the making. I also had no problem with Alden Ehrenreich, because I simply did not think about the fact that he does not at all look like a young Harrison Ford. And I think that SOLO definitely has the best battlefield scenes from all Star Wars movies, showing the trenches, soldiers being dirty, it reminded of some WWI battle.
 
To me SOLO comes close to R1 and is definitely better than Ep. VIII.

Last weekend I was on the biggest convention in Poland, but it was na unofficial event. I have some good and funny photos, that I want share with you.
1. "Are you talking to me?"
 

 
2. "Join the Empire. We have epic capes". (I like this one, because it's looks like a propaganda photo).

 
3. That photo is a proof that you can comfortable sit with the cape
