Хм, ну да. И о каком "всеобщем недовольстве" может идти речь, если бы всё закончилось уничтожением одного человека?

А собственно, почему? Я читаю вас, и создаётся впечатление, что вы думаете, что в Империи 10-15 планет. Но планет были миллионы.

Можно подумать, какие-то другие правительства действуют иначе, а не исходя из практических надобностей.

Миллионы, откуда? Сколько у нас звездных систем? Можно посмотреть на карте. Но миллионы населенных планет в составе Империи, это фикция.

The Galactic Republic was composed of a significant portion of the known galaxy, stretching from the Core Worlds to at least partially, the Outer Rim Territories, though it was widely believed that the government held little power in the outlying regions, and preferred to focus its attention on the Core Worlds and Colonies. The exact number of planets in the Republic fluctuated, ranging from three million worlds to just over a thousand, but in 21 BBY it was a little less than 1.3 million planets, with some 10-40,000 systems controlled by the Separatists.[35] The Senate was in control of thousands of star systems[36] while more than two hundred systems had defected to join the Confederacy of Independent Systems[37] by the time Palpatine finally ended the Republic.

The Galactic Empire's territory at its peak consisted of some one and a half million member and conquered worlds, as well as sixty-nine million colonies, protectorates and puppet states spread throughout the entire galaxy, stretching from the borders of the Deep Core to at least Wild Space.[54] Emperor Palpatine sent Grand Admiral Thrawn on a mission to bring the rule of the Empire to the Unknown Regions. The Grand Admiral set up a command post at a fortress on Nirauan and from there brought the rule of the Empire to the uncharted regions of the galaxy, creating the Empire of the Hand. Grand Moff Tarkin right before destroying Alderaan also implied that the Empire spanned over millions of worlds during that time.[62] Although not directly under the Empire's control, they also had access to at least five of the seven satellite galaxies via Intergalactic Passports.[63]
