Summary I think I've finally realized why Palpatine's Empire was always destined to lose the Galactic Civil War in Star Wars - and it's nothing to do with the Force at all. On the face of it, Star Wars is a tale of light versus dark, good versus evil; a binary in which two cosmic spirtual forces wage unending war against one another. And yet, there's so much more to it all than that.

The Acolyte and the prequels explain this, though. This was likely the traditional approach when it came to starfighters, because - until as recently as the Clone Wars - hyperdrives were too cumbersome to attach to such small ships. Even during the Clone Wars, only the Jedi appear to have starfighters that could dock with hyperdrive rings; that technology was likely expensive, and even the Empire only had so many credits to work with. After all, the Empire had Death Stars to build.
Grand Admiral Thrawn Was The Only One To Spot The Problem Close Only one Imperial leader actually recognized the potential threat the Rebel Alliance posed; Grand Admiral Thrawn. As seen in Star Wars Rebels, Thrawn sponsored two projects that would have crippled the rebellion, had they not ultimately been shut down. The first was the Empire's Interdictor cruiser, a variant of the ISD that contained a gravity well generator to prevent nearby ships jumping into hyperspace.
