I generally try to tackle the rebel propaganda that is out there. 
 
I remind them that the Emperor was elected chancellor and that when he declared himself emperor it was received with thunderous applause.
I remind them that nobody elected the Jedi and that they used their powers for haunting and mind control.
If they argue with me I ask them if they sided with the separatists, count Dooku and General Grevious.
 
At the end I remind them that there is only one detail worth remembering about the Jedi "that they are ALL DEAD.  EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM".  So you see, those people out there can't possibly be jedi. 

Right... and it is canon now since it is in the canon comic books.

John Mollo tried to bring order to the rank system in the Empire Strikes Back.  There was a method to his madness with A New Hope, but it wasn't applied evenly due to costume troubles.  Some people had to put on the costume that fit them instead of the one that was intended for them.  That is why Motti wears a green uniform, when he was intended for another uniform.  Empire would be different.  There we would get a revamped rank system different from A New Hope that would make sense.
 
Called by name we KNOW what some ranks are from Empire: Admiral, General, Captain, Lieutenant.  And that is all we have.
 
Living in the real world we know that there are other ranks to be found and we try to fill them in... but they are not canon because they are only ever will be conjecture.  
 
Mollo was and IS the most definitive authority on European military fashions of the past 500 years.  He was taken off of Star Wars and didn't participate in Return of the Jedi.  In that movie people either didn't wear ranks (for the black uniformed officers) or they wore the rank of a captain (for the green uniforms).  Jejerrod and Piett are the only two officers that have names.  Jejerrod is called "commander", though novels and other sources list him as a moff.  The reason why there is no differentiation in rank is that no one cared... sadly.  The man who cared was not on the project.  

5 years after Jedi, West End Games tried to make sense of the Imperial Ranks from Empire with the Imperial Source Book.  The included conjecture ranks like "Colonel" and "Commander" and "Major".  But none of that is canon.

I think this is going to be the fashion uniform of 2016.

The British accents show people from the more refined core worlds.
The American accents are for people from out there on the frontier.  
Which would make some sense.
 
Captain Kurgee spoke with an American accent as did Admiral Motti.  The Empire is not all British.
