I am loving this site.
I would anxiously wait for weekly updates following ROTS' opening. It went a long way towards making the viewing retroactively worthwhile. :-D
I read them all last night in one sitting, when I should have been getting some much-needed sleep. The Revenge ones were my favorites, I think.
Also, one might suppose the rebels had a cell arrangement and multiple relatively redundant bases for just such an emergency - if they had any brains, anyway. The one on the Yavin moon was just the HQ that week.

The Rebels appeared to have an actual industrial base. They were able to muster a substantial fleet against the Imperials at Endor. Now given the economies of Star Wars, maybe giant starships with hyperdrive and turbolasers aren't that big a deal (the equivalent of Somalian speedboats
Of course, we need not--heck, half the galaxy might have risen after Yavin. It's not like anybody other than the Imperial Navy and Army themselves actually believed in Palpatine's leadership, and that was because of the Force if I remember the novels correctly.
I actually prefer to think of the Rebel Alliance as a highly organized structure who had graduated from spectacular annoyances in X-wings to conventional warfighters. Guerilla warfare doesn't usually work that well against an enemy willing and able to obliterate your planet from orbit. Trek could've taken a page from this.
Yeah, that's what I'm talking about, the new dialogue makes no sense in the context of the movie. He had to have known before that. I guess we can assume he's feigning ingnorance with the emperor because he wanted to find Luke and make him his secret apprentice, so they could overthrow the emperor together and rule the galaxy.Yeah, he found out in the Vader's Quest comic from 1999 or so, I forget the details. I always thought the DVD Edition revamp of the Emperor's dialogue was a little strange because they're trying not to spoil the reveal at the end of the movie. But yeah if the damn kid's name is Skywalker and he's from Tatooine, would anyone think that's a coincidence?
That's the way I've decided to reinterpret the scene. Seems fitting considering the prequel trilogies, to be honest.

I think you'll find that the Alliance didn't build it's own ships but purchased them. They had the big star cruisers built the by Mon Calamari who had no love for the empire, Corellian Corvettes were probably dime a dozen. the X-wings if I remember correctly were built by Sorosub. They maybe of had a hand in the designs though (is it canon that Admiral Ackbar designed the B-wing?).
Sites like Wookiepedia list the makers for each type of ship on both sides.
). The Rebels still had a substantial industrial base and apparently some areas where they could operate freely enough to commission and purchase those sweet Mon Calamari cruisers.Mr Light said:

Then the Mon Calamari were building warships in what I would presume was a violation of Imperial law (try building your own aircraft carrier, see if the government thinks it's cool
