It's interesting how popular culture has swung away from Rebels and Barbarians. "Gladiator" was about saving the Roman Empire. Now we have the Clone Wars where the stormtroopers are the heroes.

I can highly recommend Karen Traviss' Republic Commando novels, which for starters cured me of my prejudice against media spin-off novels - see my review of #3 in her series.

See?

I have a theory that now we've really experienced the romantic natives and rebels, we've begun to value civilisation and order.

I should add:

The flaws in Civilisation are no longer seen as reason for overturning it, but rather something for the individuals to overcome.
