Crime lord? Not really. In fact, he was trying to weed out crime. As for getting beaten at every encounter, you seem to have watched a different show than I did. Like I said, the plot made perfect sense to me and even if you didn't like it, many others like myself did. This kind of fan baggage and presumptions as to what a character should be, particularly one that has been around for awhile, is exactly the kind of thing that turns me off discussing Star Wars with the fandom. Just negative all the time.
