Hmmm *whips out his Star Wars Timeline*
In Ep4 Luke and Leia are 18--YES thats right (well atleast what the
"LucasFilm apporved Essentail Guide to Vehicles and Vessles"
But the fall of the Republic is 29 years before Ep4.
Now the in Ep6 the fall of Empire occurs. And that is 4 years after Ep4.
So the Empire only lasted about 33 years according to the timeline.
The Old Republic was formed 25,000 years before Ep4. So the Old Republic
lasted around 24,971 years.
Now there are a lot of other timeline facts that I could drone about, but
that wouldn't pretain to the question.
