Yes that would be a good twist. Guess we'll have to wait till Episode 3 to find out Nute's fate, or sooner depending on who reads the official spoilers and script.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: nute gunray will die with all the other surviving separatists at the official end of the clone wars, the massacre at mustafar. other casualties will include padme amidala and anakin skywalker. this event will be forever recorded as the second herioc victory of a young imperial hot head named "Darth Vader" hint: a certain someone will save nute gunray for last, blaming him for all the problem in his life.

I'll leave it up to George even though my preferemce would be a very violent death. After all after Jar-Jar Binks the TF neimoidians are the most annoying characters. I wonder what George (who normally has very good ideas) was eating when he thought them up (probably rotisserie chicken).

I dont think so. And yeeeeeeeeeees this is EU but it backs me up, the Emperor doesn't want aliens in his service especialy not high up. Only one guy made it and that was Thrawn but he was worthy.
On the canon side, Dooku says that Nute Gunray came to him for help because a certain Sith Lord betrayed him. This is the truth. Which means that Palpatine used him, and I dont think he's gonna decide to put him high up under his service if he's used him.
