I'm with Bingo on this. Look to our own world as a perfect example. Bad is never really defeated. It suffers blows and setbacks, but there's always someone thinking they can reassert their power and bring down good.

That's one of the things that worked so well in the Zahn EU. On top of someone trying to build the Empire back up, they were amassing the equipment to do it, or at least thought they knew where they could get it. They had the desire and the ability, so they had to be dealt with.

lit doesn't have to be spectacle, it has to be interesting.
