But on the Chancellor's Podium in the senate building, it still bears the symbol of the Old Republic. I was just wondering basically what the symbol meant before it became the Imperial Symbol? Can anybody shed some light on that?
I also noticed it. Makes sense to me that they use the imperial symbol, when Palpatine became emperor he simply took that symbol to represent the galactic empire. The old republic symbol: well, he didn't have the time to re-paint every senate booth, did he?
