That would make things a tad boring at least imo.
Why don't we just equalize Force and Lightsaber skill for Force Users while were at it?
The Eternal Empire favor discipline in formations and network-centric warfare tactics. They also have star fortresses that could hold entire worlds hostage and disrupt communications among them.
Contrary to the popular belief, we don't witness significant technological leap in Star Wars with passage of time. We just witness bigger Starships packing more firepower than before. However, huge Starships do not make much difference in the battlefield on their own (they are more like tools of intimidation). Tactics, Force-users, political will and coordination are the qualities that really matter.
The more important assets of Eternal Empire are the Force-users who will have greatest impact on the battlefield. Valkorion himself is enough to sabotage workings of NR.

Which they didn't really seem to make much a difference in the grand scheme of things, when The Eternal Alliance had far less resources, Force Users and generally everything compared to the EE.
So not sure why having more Force Users means anything. Plus their standard Force Users, weren't infallible really, they were still killed by blasters and troop/guerrilla tactics.
If having more Force Users than the other side mattered, wars wouldn't last long as they did, it'd just be who had more Force Users than the other side.

You should really stick to discussing force users you know nothing about.
No need to expand your sphere of ignorance.

The New Republic imho. Given their unity against the Vong( a far greater threat to the galaxy IMHO) they should be able to form a united front against the EE and win in a similar fashion.They have better agent. Impressive Jedi and have dealt with several otherworldly threats before
Wasn't by the time of Vong, the NR had been reorganized into the Galactic Alliance? Or when the full swing of the war came?
