What is throwing me off is your "Without action". Do you mean without having an action scene? Without the heroes fighting directly against the villains? Here are some random ideas. - Tell of the group's past, including their history, and their beliefs. A character may watch tv/ read a pamphlet that describe that. Through the character's thoughts, we (readers) would be able to get the idea and know they are evil. - What about if your character comes across something that is already done. I keep thinking of those soldiers who "discovered" the concentration camps... - Perhaps someone tells the character of something. "You know, those Soviets really aren't bad because [pov]" and the character reacts to this. Going to your Star Wars analogy within the first 10 minutes. Vader kills those he interrogates. The Princess tells us Vader is a baddie because he is not following the Senate. Thus, without having a full understanding of the situation, we know who are the good guys and who are the bad guys.
