In the fictional Star Wars saga, the Imperial Senate replaced the Galactic Senate of the Old Republic, run by power hungry bureaucrats, with Palpatine as Emperor. In Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, it is told by Grand Moff Tarkin that Palpatine, who began to see that the Senate would support the Rebellion, dissolved the Senate and all that remains of the Old Republic, putting him in complete control of the Galactic Empire. Because the Rebellion was an influential movement in the senate, Palpatine and his council dissolved the remnants of the Old Republic in a special session of the senate. Emperor Palpatine instead gave power to the regional governors and Moffs, to maintain order and control over all colonies and member worlds of the Empire. To many senators, the Imperial Senate is just a lie. The ultimate power still lies with Emperor Palpatine nevertheless.
