Ugh. That really bums me out.
The Empire still around after getting soundly trounced thirty years ago.
Much like the Tatooine material I've seen, there's going to have to be a REALLY good explanation for this when the film comes out.
If America could survive the assassinations of Lincoln and Kennedy, I'm 100.100% sure the Galactic Empire could survive the vaporization of Palps.
P.S.: I'm glad the ending of ROTJ: SE is getting shat on. Lucas deserves it.
