[QUOTE="billd91, post: 7305088, member: 3400"] Well, the Union winning the Civil War didn't stop the south from generating the Klu Klux Klan and other racist terrorist groups. They've kept resurging fading and resurging again for 150 years. And even the eradication of Jim Crow laws and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 didn't stop places from interfering with voting rights and trying to impose other versions of segregation. We beat the Nazis in 1945 and yet here they are demonstrating in American cities in 2017. And those things have been occurring within far smaller spaces and societies than the events that have been transpiring in Star Wars. The Republic/Empire was made up of some fuzzy number of worlds that number at least 2000 (considering 2000 joined a petition to get Palpatine to relinquish emergency powers). That's a lot of worlds and a lot of territory for an insurgent group to try to administer even if they did manage to hack the head off the snake controlling the Empire. The Empire, by comparison, had it easier. Palpatine kept the structure of the Republic intact for a good 20 years after making the shift from Republic to Empire - by the time the Rebellion won at Endor, all of that structure's inertia would have been tilted against them - mainly local governors controlling the apparatus of fear and oppression and the Imperial military (and military industrial complex).
