The Empire loyalists are fascinating to me. It's great that we get a slice of Imperial civil life. You can already get from this season that Syril's devotion to the Imperial cause is at least partially due to desperation to get away from his home life.

I was hoping to get a sense of Dedra's motivation this season but maybe we'll get a glimpse next time. Maybe something like her returning to a small, shabby Coruscant apartment, to eat a refrigerated half-eaten can of beans with an unintelligible expression. Or maybe her home life is just as rigorously ordered as her work. Either way or whatever - it's just interesting how these servants of the Empire live outside of work and what we can read into for their personal motivations aside from generic careerism.
