all the competent comand officers where in either the death star or the super star destroyer exucutor, which where both destroyed, at that point, there was no one with clear athority or competinit enogh to step up and take it. the empirol fleet fell inot disoray and couldn't coordinate the attack and where ripped apart by the rebels under command of admiral akbar

As soon as the Emperor died, the Empire began to fracture and fall into disorder. Admirals would have taken the ships in their command to form their own fleets. The Imperial morale was shattered.

the imperials retreated after the second death star was destroyed and retreated to Imperial worlds in the deep core or the outer rim. Then all of the imperial leaders like the Moffs, Grand Admirals, and Generals wanted a piece of what was left of the empire for their own mini empires and become Warlords and turned on eachother killing eachother in the process. One Grand Admiral defected to the Rebel Alliance on condition that he be spared the death penalty for war crimes. Other Grand Admirals either killed eachother or were caught and killed by the Rebels. The Empire lost its territory to the New Republic and retreated to the Outer Rim and became known as the Imperial Remnant after a peace treaty was signed about 15 years after the Battle Of Endor between the two.

Why did they win? They found a supply ship full of Temporal Torpedoes that emerged from a wormhole. They didnt ask where they came from, they just used them to penetrate the Imperial shields and turn them into Imperial margarine. Also, Dark Helmet and his men went on a bender the night before the battle and were suffering from a rather nasty hangover. Thats why SpaceBall One was destroyed not because it was a vacuum cleaner.

luke used the force to engage the self destruct devices on all the ships he passed. lol jk the rebels had a supiror force wating to jump in. as soon as the sheild was droped and the star destroyer was gone they could safely jump in and decimate the empiral forces

A fair amount of the star destroyers survived after the battle, but several were destroyed. the imperial fleet was not really trained. the only reason they rocked was because the emporers jedi power and he "helped" them. i forget which book that was in otherwise i would tell you.

The Empire grew lazy and stupid due to fast food and holovision. They were basically retarded and able to be defeated by a stiff wind. The ith were so sefl-absorbed and busy patting themselves on the back insdei that Death Star, they never thought someone would fly up their butt.

In answer to your query: It is sometimes thought that a chunk of the imperial fleet may have been destroyed in the Death Star blast. And Palpatine never had a legitimate successor, so the officers would have been lost and not know what to do... except flee or surrender. As for the rest of the Imperial presence across the galaxy, refer to the Expanded Universe.

ok, quick and simple, the Emp. was the only one at the time control the stormtroopers, so all the Rebels would have to do is to get control of the Stormtroopers and thier whole fleet would go down. end of story

With the massive central figures in the Empire, Vader, Palpatine and the DS2 all put out of commission, wouldnt it make sense that a lot of the fleet would probably freak out and scatter, since theres no central force to giude them now? As for the A-Wing hitting the Executor and making it crash into the Death Star 2 not making sense, how would YOU know? You ever seen otherwise? SOMEBODY has to drive that big honking bus and its entirely possible that the A-Wing crash could have hit the navigator and as he died he accidentally hit the control to steer the ship into the space station. Thats not hard to imagine.

The rebels shouldn't have won. To all of you out there that think the domes on the top of Star Destroyers were shield generators, think again. They are sensor domes. If the Mon Calamari can make ships with shield generators located inside the ship then you would think the imperials could too eh? In addition to that, one a-wing smashing into the bridge wouldn;t make a super star destroyer crash into the Death Star 2. That's madness, only the ships's pilot manipulating the controls and thrusters/engines and what not would have made the executor take a course like THAT! Those rebels should have been toast, but then, the heroes would have lost and we all know we can't have that, the heroes always win.

if the empire officers had been gay they would have been so busy having public sex on the bridge, demanding special rights and practicing their phoney lisps that they wouldn't have had time to fight those silly old rebels. gee, i wonder if this one's gonna get censored too. nothing inflamitory here. take care.

Were they polishing their buttons while the rebels attacks? More than likely they were polishing their knobs since there were no women in the imperial forces. They were all men. You mean you didnt notice that? I suppose its possible they were all turned into eunuchs to keep their minds on things like killing rebels. Either that or they were gay. Its really a good question.

If you read the Thrawn trilogy, you'll find that Thrawn hints to Palleon that the emperor used the force to coordinate the fleet (same as C'boath did later on in the same series) and that with the emperors death the fleet fell into dissarray as they no longer had that binding force that coordinated their movements.

It is well known that Imperial Star Destroyers only have those two shield generator domes atop their command towers. The Mon Calamari ships not only have multiple main shield generators, they also have multiple back-up shield generators. Also, there are all sorts of little bumps all over Mon Calamari cruisers, so figuring out which ones where shield generators would take too much time.
Another point that I would like to make is that the Imp destroyers only had big, slow guns. The little fast Rebel fighters could fly circles around a destroyer and probably not get hit. The only reason the fighter would get hit would be that there are so many of the big guns. Also, those big guns are pretty much only good for long-distance fighting, so when the enemy comes up close and personal, the destroyers are screwed.
On yet another note, the Death Star was merely a sign of power and wealth. Something I read said that a lot of Imperial commanders opposed not only the Death Star but the Super Star Destroyers because smaller vessels could easily do their jobs. Yes, the loss of the Executor and the Death Star were both demoralizing, but those weren't the main reasons why the Imps lost the battle. The main reason was that Lucas didn't want to dissapoint fans at the end of the trilogy by having the heroes lose and die at the hands of villains. Its all about the Benjamins for George.
