Wal-Mart = Evil Empire?

[edit]

This assertion is unsourced, and indeed the text "evil empire" does not even appear in the Wal-Mart article. I'm sure someone calls Wal-Mart an evil empire, but if that's the standard we'll have to put a lot more bullet points in here... Mirac'ulouschaos 01:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is the Star Wars reference valid?

[edit]

I think that the Star Wars reference on this page is invalid. I'm not a complete Star Wars nut, so maybe I'm wrong on this, but I don't ever remember hearing the entity in question referred to as (specific phrase) "evil empire". It was always "The Empire". Yes, it was an empire, yes it was evil, but as a phrase, it doesn't hold water in this case. (Especially up against established uses, like Reagan's, or the RATM album title.) I think it should be removed. Either that or George Lucas should go and change the name of the movie to "The Evil Empire Strikes Back." Migp 17:33, 23 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I agree. Thedreamdied 13:18, 25 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Might be right, but I left it in there for now. If there are full scripts online it would be easy to search for. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 01:19, 21 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I belive it is valid. The episode IV openning crawl says "against the evil Galactic Empire. Drlf (talk) 18:44, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That would be describing the Galactic Empire as evil not evidence that the empire is actually known as Evil Galactic Empire and even if it was it would still only be a partial match.--69.157.252.96 (talk) 05:06, 16 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Also, if evil was an official part of the name it would have been Evil Galactic Empire not evil Galactic Empire.--65.92.163.109 (talk) 22:57, 10 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
