Reply #8: Read some of the books out there

Vader and the Emporer may have fallen, but the Empire continues. C'mon. Isn't everyone on DU supposed to pass a political reality test when they register? Can you imagine a bureaucracy like the Empire just folding overnight because the weird old guy in the tacky robe, and his Lego buddy, get whacked?

Yeah, like Rome folded because Caligula caught a sword or two on his way to the arena.

I'd like to see more of that dealt with, the period after the Emporer came to full power, than what happened after Luke pulled the rabbit out of his hat. Maybe they could make a tv series called "young skywalkers" showing how Luke and Leia grew up, and why they did what they did.

And how come Vader didn't catch on to Leia's powers as soon as he met her?
