	A think that what we are dealing with here is a HUMAN empire.
	What non-humans we see on the imperial side are more in the
	nature of auxliaries rather than full imperial citizens. The
	rebel forces consisted of human colonists and non-humans that
	are chaffing under the restrictions of the empire. Also remember
	in 'Return of the Jedi' there were many non-humans in the
	rebel forces.
