Very good, but you must ponder this also. The Death Star, one of many super weapons created by the Empire. Destroyed the first time, destroyed the second, the second Death Star didn't hurt anyone until the Rebels attacked it. It could've very well have been built to protect major resources from non-empire bands.But yopu must remember the words of Admiral Traest Krey'fey of the New Republic; "Although they destroyed the Death Star, it hadn't liberated a single Imperial controlled planet." Now with that on your mind think of this, the Galactic Empire is massive even without the emperor, it functioned quite well, even during it's warlord stage. Luke was the aggressor everytime, but he was under the guidance of Yoda and Oi-Wan. Also, Luke did finally give into the emperor's taunts and tried to strike at him, but Darth Vader intervened. After the death of the emperor however, it was mostly the brave men and women who liberated the galaxy and brought peace, Luke was more of a tool for them to ues. Peace with the Empire wasn't achieved until 19.ABY (After Battle of Yavin) I think Luke was more of a pawn of the old order to reclaim wat they once had been, that's all.
