Hate to be a prick, but even without Palaptine or Vader, and hey, even without the Death Star... the Empire seems to be able to "WTFpwn" any other military force the galaxy has to offer.

Yet a ragtag army a.k.a. "the rebellion" was able to defeat the Empire hard. Blowing up Imperial fleets, It's 3 top leaders, Tarkin Vader and the Emperor, 2 Death Stars, including a fully operational one by a 19 kid.
The Empire pwns nada. Vader said of the Death Star: "Don't be to proud of this technological terror you've constructed"
The Empire's not as grand as people think. They were massive but not grand. Massive in size but not a grand army capable of invincibility. And as an aside, way before the Empire, there were legions of armies and rulers that led longer than Palpatine and the Empire has.
To say that you're Empire will "last 10,000 years!" as Palpatine said, and then for it to collapse hard within 2/12 decades is foul, i think.
I give this one to Gen. G.

your mom goes to college. Empire will win. Dude the Cis was pwnd by the clone army. The Empire is made up of the clone army and millions of other Joe Blows. The Empire will overwhelm the opposite with sheer numbers. And G.G. was not known for superior tactics. just an annoying cough. hes famous the same was Maul is famous. ZOMG H3 HAS F0UR 4RMZ00RZ!!!1111
What do other empires matter when comapring to this one? They aren't the same, so that point is irrelevant.
Also realize that the Empire was defeated at Yavin by a mix of arrogance, overconfidence, and thirty fighters which were relatively as technologically new as anything the Empire had.
Same goes for Endor. Overconfidence, arrogance, and definitely... underestimation. The fleet which surrounded the DS comprised of what? Three, maybe four dozen ISD's and one Executor? That's NOTHING when compared to the entire Empire.
Also note that, as I said, the Rebellion was something which was undermined by the Empire, a key weapon the Alliance had actually. But, even though it lacks the technology advantage, the CIS was still numerically vast enough to be considered a major threat to Galactic "peace." The CIS, especially when under the command of a ruthless, battle hardened maniac like Grievous, is not something which will be ignored. The Empire, under Tarkin even, would crack-down on the CIS with everything at their disposal. Overwhelming force, to subdue all opposition, something which the Empire, when appropriate, would take into effect.

Empire would crush them. In Rise of Darth Vader, it says in the beginning that during the clone wars a lot of anti-droid weapons were produced. In fact, a clone said (as jokingly as a clone can) that if the Republic had the kind of weapons they had after the three years of the Clone Wars, they could have won them in a few weeks. Add in numbers and even more technology, the Empire crushes them royally.

Grievous's team, easily, The Clone army and the CIS army Grand Moff Tarkin's army basically is the Clone Army without the CIS army. The only difference is he has some more advanced weapons and AT-AT's. But Stormtroopers are insuperior to Clone Troopers since some of them are humans and they have bad aim.

It doesn't matter. You could have a hundred clone fighters with the best aim in the galaxy fight 2 SSD's which is filled with cremen with bad aim, and the clones will still get their asses kicked. Its all about superior technoligy. Heh, the only way the clones and CIS will win is if they have Thrawn on their side, which they don't, they have the four armed asthmetic.
