Okay, the wording was too snappish. Sorry. Was having a rough night. I actually agree with you, oddly enough. I think I just misread the tone as dismissive/derogatory. Can never quite tell with you, Smiffy.
I'm completely with you that the Empire totally dying out overnight is outrageous. It was okay for ROTJ, since it was meant at the time to be the end, and you could suspend disbelief purely to indulge in the high of Palpatine's death and Vader's redemption---it still works as a rousing, emotional victory for the forces of good. But now that we're getting more...it is the smartest decision to have the Empire still limping on in some fractured form.
Even when WWII was well over and Hitler was dead and gone...we still had neo-Nazis around. Thank goodness they just haven't found any magic artifacts to wage another war and return to dominance.
