Because Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope was based on many myths and classic melodramas, there are some classically “evil” and classically “good” groups of fighters.

Say what you might about the controversial prequels the fighters, pod racers, and ships were still pretty cool. That creative legacy of developing amazing Star Wars spaceships has touched every property in the Star Wars universe, from TV shows to books.
