What’s the difference between imperial officers in olive grey tunics and ones in black tunics? What do the colors mean?

I don't understand how the average Separatist citizen could believe they weren't ruled by corporations like the Republic was when the Separatist military was created and openly led by the heads of those very corporations. Is there EU lore that makes this make sense?

My friend told me to skip the X-Wing novels. Are his criticisms accurate?
Just finished the KJA JAT trilogy and wanted to start the X-Wing novels which I’ve mostly heard good things about.
My friend said he got as far as The Bacta War and that he found them cringe. He thought they should’ve been advertised to a younger audience because they’re predictable and neither engaging nor challenging of the reader.
“Tropes that you know from your average direct-to-VHS action flicks. Characters where exchangeable cut-outs. Tropes themselves.
It felt like YA fan fiction.” were his exact words.
Is that accurate or would you say his criticisms are overblown?

“I have to stay. We have to buy time.” I just realized that part of what Bail was doing was buying time for Leia to take his place as the Alderaanian Senator.
Man I love how subtle this show is

Couldn’t the ISB simply audit the casino that Perrin supposedly went to on Coruscant to verify that he actually did gamble away all that money?
We know Mon Mothma uses it as a cover story for the disappearance of hundreds of thousand of credits. But couldn’t the Empire simply check the Casino records to see if it actually happened?

I just realized a lot of the people who helped destroy the Death Star, lead the Rebellion, and bring down the Empire once worked for the Galactic Empire in some capacity.
- Mon Mothma, Bail Organa, and Princess Leia were Imperial senators
- Luthen Rael was an Imperial Army NCO
- Cassian Andor was an Imperial Army cook
- Galen Erso was the Imperial engineering officer who built the Death Star
- Bohdi Rook was an Imperial cargo pilot
- Han Solo was an Imperial TIE fighter pilot/Army trooper
- Biggs Darklighter was an Imperial TIE fighter pilot
- General Dodonna was an Imperial Naval officer
- General Madine was an Imperial General
- And of course… Darth Vader was a Dark Lord of the Sith, apprentice to Darth Sidious, and chief enforcer of the Emperor
I guess the only exceptions are the Mon Calamari, Obi-Wan, General Draven, and of course Luke Skywalker who actually at one point was planning to join the Imperial Navy.
Man, the Empire contributed an impressive amount of personnel to its own destruction.
• Note: All of these work in both Legends and Canon.

This popular left-wing German film analysis channel criticized Andor for not having anything new to say on imperialism or colonialism. What are your thoughts?
Do you disagree?

Why were Luthen and Kleya in S2 so against the idea of a Rebel Alliance when in S1, Luthen is shown desperately trying to get rebel cells to come together and unite? He even says in S1: “We need to pull together Saw!”

Is anyone else surprised that COMPNOR was never mentioned in the show, given that the ISB falls under its umbrella organization?
Or was it mentioned and I missed it?

I appreciate that they avoided calling the Yavin base the Rebel Alliance headquarters in S2E7, since the episode takes place before the Rebel Alliance had officially been formed.

Why is Captain Pellaeon serving as Grand Admiral Thrawn's executive officer? Given Thrawn's rank, wouldn't it make more sense for his XO to be a lower-ranking admiral, such as a Fleet Admiral or Vice Admiral?
Also, if I'm remembering correctly, I don't recall any other admirals serving under Thrawn's command in the Thrawn Trilogy, which seems a bit unusual. We only hear about other Captains like Captain Dorja, Captain Brandei, and Captain Harbid.
