LoboBlanco: Glad to see I´m not the only one :P
Even if the head has been chopped, they must deal with the loyal remnants.
The emperor is not dead. He was so strong in the dark side of the force that he managed to hide his spirit in his ring before dying. The ring was the picked up by followers who revived him. Breja: Duh. I'm not quite that stupid :) But for the time being I'm assuming it's some remnant that resurfaces after a long abscence or being pushed back to the fringes of the galaxy, or some new group using old imagery for ideological reasons (noe-imperials if you will), or something else of that ilk. I just don't want the story to go "and after the EMporor's death and all that celebration nothing really changed and they kept fighting this war for the next 30 years".
LoboBlanco: I don´t think they´re a new group, probably those who really believed in the empire´s ideals, not the stormtroopers that just want to work somewhere and are brainwashed into imperialism :P Even if the head has been chopped, they must deal with the loyal remnants.
I mean, why else would they have cast Max von Sydow ?
