and I'll never get the hypocrites who think that the Empire returning is worse than the Sith returning.

Well Empire returning is just as bad as Sith returning.

I understand thinking that it's just as bad. What I don't understand is thinking that it's worse.

Sith returning I can see as being possible. There would always be a few willing to dabble in the Dark Side of the Force. The new practitioners should not be able to get very far. At least I'd hope not to see a repeat of the prequels.

The Empire coming back is far less plausible since the entire foundation and a large portion of the Imperial navy were taken down decades ago. That the Empire could survive that long with such a defeat seems very unlikely.

As big as the Empire is claimed to be it only ever had one fully constructed mobile Death Star. Which apparently took twenty years to create. So it seemed to me that it wasn't infinite in its reach or power. A handful of rebels took out a good chunk of it and all of the leadership. Any remaining battles should have been relative cakewalks.

Planets still sympathetic to the defunct Empire? Sure. I can see that happening. An actual Empire with a standing Stormtrooper army? No.
