Dude, you are stubborn aren't you?
How can you perceive a time period of THREE THOUSAND years as a "part of the lore where the Empire falls"? Do you realize how small the time span of the movies is compared to that, and how much still happened in that small time span?
For all we know, during those 3k years, the Empire and Republic can be destroyed and reborn a dozen times over.
And you also kind of ignored my huge-ass post on the "Sith lose" issue =)
