I think the Emperor is my least favorite character. He was a wimp. He let a guy throw him in a bottomless chasm, and didn't use any supernatural powers to stop himself from dying. Look at all the evil, all the dread, all the history of the Sith. Everyone did it for HIM! He dies so easy!
That is a good question. Is it really because the Emperor dies in ROTJ, that the Empire is totally defeated? There are no other Imperial cells in any other galaxy, on any other planet?
Well it does never say that the empire is totally defeated and if you belive in the EU it is not at all. And the Sith didn
t do all that for HIM tghis is not true.´Plus the Imperator is maybe powerful and all bu´t so are luke and DV and being thrown into a botomless thingy would kill pretty much every sith and Jedi ever.
