I actually made an essay over 10 pages about leadership in Star Wars (one of the available assignments was leadership portrayed in a movie/book) for my one of the leadership courses I took at the university. It was pretty interesting to think about the movies from that angle and comparing it to different source materials about leadership. I also took everything what happened in the trilogy (not PT at all) like it was real and not making it easier by looking it as a mirror from the real world (Empire - Nazis etc.). Funnily enough, all sources came to the conclusion that the way Empire was lead was never going to last in the long run.

A little OT than the original question but still fitting to the title.
