My boss has a white Scirocco,....when I saw it this morning, it reminded me of something
Evolved from this 80's car:
I do think there would have been a revolution across the Galaxy to overthrow the Empire (we saw Palps statue toppled in the SE of Jedi)
Remember the Generals around the boardroom table on the Death Star, they all seamed secure in their power without aid of the Force, their power was the military might of the Empire,....so I don't think the Empire would have just given up after DSII, Palps & Vader's destruction at the end of the Trilogy
Perhaps its only now that the Empire has regained enough strength to take back total control that they had when Palps was around,....maybe for 30 years theres been a relaxed Galaxy.....think of Europe after The Great War & the return of Nazi Germany in the 1930's
