TWIMC,
     History is on the side of those who claim that 'The Evil 
Empire' is really controlled by the 'marketing department' and
not by the game designers.
     It should be noted that in the official tourneys run by 
Citadel flunkies that figures must be Citadel unless "Citadel
does not produce a figure of that type".
