You mean Battle of Endor? :)

Seems to me that it was a very short time no more than 50
years.

I'm basing this off the fact that in SW EPII the EMPIRE is NOT offical there
yet.  The 'movemnet' for the OLD REPUBLIC to topple is going on.  So perhaps
in EP III that is where we might see the offical start of the Empire?  In SW
ROJ luke is about what Late 20s?  So you figure the empire has ONLY been
around for as long as luke has been alive.  So perhaps some 30-40 years?

I'd use Luke/Leia as a guage. I'm assuming that they're conceived either
just before or just after the Empire is formed. Bear in mind Luke & Leia
were supposed to be like 16-18 when SW4 starts... then 2 to maybe as much as
5 years later is the final Death Star II battle... so the twins are 18-23 by
the end? So that puts the empire between maybe 16-25 years old? Pretty darn
young.

Seems like such a such time compared to the OLD REPUBLIC?

Most definitely... good question might be, how old is the Sith?
