| JWeinCom said: It's not an exact parallel. Those are just examples. Keep in mind, the empire didn't just disappear when the emperor and vader died, and the rebel alliance wasn't an organization that was ready to police the remnants of a big galactic empire. So, there was a lot of appeasement. Plus, it is implied that there is a good deal of corruption involved, and that's not a surprise considering what we've seen of government in Star Wars. We could argue the plausability of this, but it's far removed from a plot hole. |
Most of the Empire's major force was in the Battle of Endor and were removed. It would have been left over outposts and scout ships left over me thinks. A few Star Destroyers here and there. Individual planets and other resistant forces may have been able to over power them during the time of unrest in ranks due to their entire structure being wipped out.
Also, piloting skills seem to be a force thing, heightened reactions help. Vader was a great pilot, Luke only good.
Hmm, pie.
