The reason everyone's railing against HWKN and this thread is because he continues to display the same behavior that was made manifest in his first thread involving the Empire. After constructing a rather straightforward scenario, HWKN desperately manufactures a series of dubious and bullshit circumstances that favors his chosen side. In this scenario, though, the Empire is going to win:
[list]
[*]The Fate of the Jedi-era galaxy has already been wracked by a series of devastating wars, with few opportunities to supplement its depleted military.
[*]The three major factions (the Galactic Alliance, the Imperial Remnant, and the Confederation) are all led or controlled by Imperials. It's probable that, especially when faced with the Empire's military superiority, they'd defect to Palpatine.
[*]The new Jedi Order isn't going to be that decisive of an advantage; Palpatine was fielding his own corps. of Force powerful adepts. Lest we forget, two of them (Mara Jade and Lumiya) were able to nearly slaughter two of the Jedi's most powerful members (Jacen and Luke) on their own.
[*]The Imperial Palace would largely be immune to insurrection, but what if Palpatine isn't even there? What if he's out amongst his enormous Navy? Millions of ships, trillions upon trillions of members? How's Luke going to find him when Palpatine's easily capable of concealing his presence in the Force?
[*]Speaking of Palpatine, he's already the galaxy's foremost strategist, capable of not only hiding his Force presence and diminishing the Force powers of others, but he's already gained the ability to resurrect. What's going to stop him from just being reborn in a new clone body if they capture or kill him?
[*]What about Thrawn? Zaarin? Vader? Tarkin? And the host of other competent or brilliant Imperial strategists, tacticians, or masterminds?

The Empire's going to win, one way or another.
