Only becuase he died faaaaaar away from any imperial forces or clones that he could inhabit, meaning that his spirit had to actually travel through the void of space to resurrect (which btw probably means it can travel at lightspeeds). In the case of an assassination he will not be in the same circumstances and will be able do so much quicker, as evidenced by Dark Empire. And they'd need to find him first. As Gideon pointed out, they have no chance of finding him through the Force.
edit: Also, wookie says that he resurrected much quicker than it appeared that he did, but was unable to go anywhere becuase of complications with his vessal, Jeng Droga.
........
He had to travel from Endor to the Yushan/Kaal sector. I haven't been able to find where that system is exactly yet but its not in the same solar system as Endor, so he'd have had to have travelled m/billions of miles to get there at the very least.

You're going to learn that that's not how we debate here. You need factual basis. Facts. Facts. How is Luke going to evade the Empire's security? Facts. How is Luke going to find Palpatine despite the Emperor's ability to shield himself in the Force? Facts. How is Luke going to deal with the Emperor's ability to resurrect? Facts.
In short, not only would it be impossible for Luke to actually find Palpatine through the Force, so he will instead have to rely on an information network to find him, of which Palps is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better at manipulating and utilising than him, but the Emperor can (unless facing complications like he did in canon which isn't acceptable to use in a forum setting btw) resurrect fast enough to stop his Empire crumbling. He will not let his ****ing Empire get the shit kicked out of it by the FOTJ group as you stupidly claimed and will ultimately rise to lead again, but this time they really will have zero effing chance of finding him. So your rediculous premise fails almost as hard as you do every second you continue to propogate it.
For the rest of the thread, this still stands:

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:* 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.
