    I'm just sayin'. Politics can split the crowd faster than rumors of Luke Skywalker's on-camera presence in TFA.

    The new Emperor is definitely Cliegg Lars.

    There is no Emperor. There will be an Empress and it will be Leia.[face_devil]

    I think Luke would have some claim to the throne, he went into a room with him Vader and the Emperor and came out of the room being the only one alive, plus he is the only force user, well at least the only one using the force, he can scare the imperials into following him now, they are use to be scared and answering to a force user, what with Vader and all.

    Of course power corrupts and Luke likes his position as the new leader of the imperial's to much and instead of guiding them into a new age of enlightenment and peace history repeats itself and the Empire is once again ruthlessly ruled by a guy who likes to wear black robes and moodily wears the hood up even though he's indoors :p

    If they are going with some unused ideas, how about a puppet Emperor? The real power could be the military with Gwendoline Christie doing a Tarkinesque role.

    Well *if* the Empire is still a substantial threat in the ST, it seems most likely that somebody filled in the power vacuum in the wake of Palpatine's death, and that somebody was more than competent and not just a figurehead; otherwise the Empire would have seriously waned in power or outright crumbled and/or reverted to The Republic.

    Hopefully the new Emperor will be.... Grand Admiral Thrawn!...KIDDING. I know Disney is doing everything they can to distance themselves from the '90's & 200X's SW EU....

    I think that what we will call the empire in the ST is going to be a sort of a coordinated effort between the different governors. It might not even have a dictator.

    You want my guess on the new Emperor? Grand General Cassio Tagge, played by Max von Syndow. Age would be about right and I am pretty sure Disney has a reason for making him survive the events of A New Hope. That's my guess.

    "Palpatine not only revealed to Amedda that he’d ordered the mission’s destruction, but that he was, in fact, a Dark Lord of the Sith, sworn enemy of the Jedi and the Republic. Palpatine explained that he’d known all along Amedda and others had tried to manipulate him, and that in truth, he had manipulated them, pitting them against each other like pawns to do his bidding. The Chagrian was crushed. Amedda thought he could use his position to deceive Palpatine and secretly lead the Republic out of darkness and into a glorious new order. Instead, he was responsible for the exile of Palpatine’s enemies and the deaths of countless innocents."

    *Snorts* Oh yes, and that's why the first spin-off film is about Rogue Squadron.

    No, we'll get Thrawn back in one form or another eventually.

    Possibly a Force sensitive Darth Thrawn?

    I would not consider that parallel for episode 7 because the clone wars was the GFFAs WW1 and the GCW was world war 2 so I would still consider episode 7 a continuation of that.

    Do we even know that there is a new Emperor in TFA? Do we actually know that the Empire is still 'The Empire'?

    This is probably the most likely scenario, although I think it'll be the Sith controlling him from the shadows regardless. Well, at least until they've gained a foothold on things again - mainly the political aspect of things, anyway.

    But, yeah, Domnhall Gleeson definitely fits the bill as this puppet leader.

    Well, why should that idea be skimmed over?
    1) her father is Darth Vader, and she's got plenty of anger, fear, and aggression
    2) she is referred to either in code or the movie itself as 'Queen'
    3) she has a superweapon that she's proud of and uses.

    Just sayin' don't be gobsmacked if both Luke and Han had a very good reason for not having Sunday dinner at her house.

    Yeah 2) and 3) of those are entirely subjective without any concrete truth. And only half of 1) is fact. ;) apologies btw. I'm Mr Pedantic today :)
