But is this a failure of Palpatine and Skywalker rather than the system. If you assume the first galactic republic is analogues to the US (3 branched central gov, representative democracy, and organized military are known to exist), and that the ancient sith used similar governmental philosophies, then based on the near success of Exar Kun and Darth Revan the sith system may not be so far inferior. Granted it is based heavily on the competency of the leadership, which over long periods of time is likely to decline, it still stands a chance at defeating governments more like the US gov.

I blame the separation of church and state. If only the dark side was allowed in the imperial schools this never would have happened.
