CountVerilucus Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 All this EU content that keeps on ressurrecting the Empire is a bit lame to me. It's like 100 years after episode 6 (i think) and then the Empire is back again! (Legacy comics) When will they just die out?! I think the Empire probably should have died with Palpatine and Vader in episode 6, or in the Grand Admiral Thrawn crisis. How about you guys?

Grey Master Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well, in the comics, is a new Empire, that get divided into many factions, so is not the same one, and I like the idea of the new Empire, who will be better bad guys than them?

Grey Master Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Not really, they have some ideas from the original, but are completly different, with more Sith controlling them at one side and an Emperor in another...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilentScope001 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 When will they just die out?! Listen, it's either a reborn Empire or the Yuzzhong Vong redux invasion!!!1! And frankly, it was disappointing that a bunch of non-Force sensetivies could bring an entire Republic to its knees. At least the Empire had history behind it. Better to just bring the Empire back from the dead. And, hey, it does cause for jokes and laughter about how pathetic the Republic is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 They need a new, un-stupid villain to keep the franchise alive. The Vong were stupid. Make them more like the Daleks, or the Borg, or the Cybermen - someone with such vast numbers and ships that the Republic/Jedi could actually be beaten. Maybe take the Jedi out of the picture for a bit, to avoid the same old victories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Skywalker Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Perhaps Jacen Solo is about to bring a period like that. I hope . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All they need is a new villain that isnt called Empire/Sith/Dark Jedi then they have a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JediMaster12 Posted January 18, 2007 Share Posted January 18, 2007 Hel-LO! History repeats itself. What is reiterated time and again is the natural course of all things. The 'golden age' of the republic died long ago, never to be seen again. The empire rises but it defeated eventually but there is always conflict. Cyclical nature again, but then I am going on an anthropological tangent... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emperor Devon Posted January 19, 2007 Share Posted January 19, 2007 they are all just remnants of the original arent they? Technically, yes. The history of the Empire is rather fractured. After Palpatine died, civil war and the New Republic drove it back to nothing but various holdings in the Outer Rim and some much larger ones in the Deep Core. The remaining forces were now controlled by warlords rather than the Imperial Inner Circle, though Daala and Pellaeon put an end to that after they launched a mass coup, for lack of a better term, upon the various warlords. After unifying all the Imperial forces and failing at an attack on Yavin IV, the Empire (now called the Remnant) was driven back to the Outer Rim where it eventually signed a peace treaty with the New Republic. It later grew in strength to the point it was able to defeat a divided Galactic Alliance with the Sith's help. While it had many different rulers, was splintered a few times and went through extreeme changes (social and political), it technically is the same Empire as what was seen in A New Hope. {snip} someone with such vast numbers and ships that the Republic/Jedi could actually be beaten. Maybe take the Jedi out of the picture for a bit, to avoid the same old victories. That's actually what's happening in the Legacy comics. The Empire won a war with the Galactic Alliance, and has turned the Jedi into small scattered bands. So far Krayt has been able to rule the galaxy without any wars or coups for seven years. (Though the Empire is going to experience a schism, as two men have mostly equal claims to the throne) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
