[QUOTE="M.L. Martin, post: 5226898, member: 4086"] Bear in mind that the one person who says that is one of Sidious' pawns, so we can't exactly take it at face value. I think the only influence knowledge of the Yuuzhan Vong threat had on the Empire was in its militarization--if that hadn't been out there, the Imperial Army might not have been built up so much, given that it was both an asset and a danger to Palpatine's dominance. As for reconciling Lucas' comments with the EU, I take the point of view that it's the specific form of Sith embodied from Darth Bane to Sidious and Vader--the Rule of Two, Dark Side ascetic, long-term planning ones--that get wiped out, and it was that form of the Sith who really threatened the balance of the Force. The Dark Side still exists, as do people claiming the Sith lineage, but it's no longer 'metastasizing' and threatening to snuff out the light forever. Even the Legacy era, though it has [i]more[/i] Sith, doesn't approach that kind of imbalance and near-extinction of the Jedi. Yes, this may take some liberty with Lucas' comments, but I like enough of the EU to want to keep it around (although I'd happily excise the Legacy of the Force series and the Mandalorians, even if it cost the Fate of the Jedi and Legacy comic books). :) [/QUOTE]
