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

Any thoughs..

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.

I can find it acceptible that the Empire only lasted 30 years or so. But really I can't buy the Old Republic lasting some 20,000+ years. Given the volitile nature of Humans, perhaps maybe 200 some years. Heck, our little planet here, with only ONE (...) (22 years ago, 16-Mar-02, to lugnet.starwars)
