[QUOTE]Originally posted by PsyLiam: [QB] I don't think that the Rebel Alliance was any sort of threat as of the time of ANH. Everyone spoke as if the entire army that we saw in that film was the whole of the Rebel Alliance. Blowing them up would have utterly destroyed them. Palpatine probably watched them from a distance, saw that maybe, maybe they might grow to be a threat, got a bit more worried when they stole the plans to the Death Star, and then saw it as a perfect opportunity to kill two birds with one stone: Demonstrate the power of the Death Star and wipe out the Alliance. It's when that plan failed (due to a fluke more than anything) that things changed. Suddenly the Rebels became famous. People flooded to join them. Their numbers grew massively. (One of my friends, watching TESB for the first time, said at the end "where'd they get those ships from" upon seeing the frigate. He was even more surprised when watcing ROTJ and seeing that the Alliance suddenly had a fairly big fleet.) So I'd say that Palaptine wasn't masterminding things all the time. He was caught out by the first Death Star's destruction, and was then making damn sure that the Rebels would not escape a second time. Which also didn't work. Silly man.
