History YMMV / NewJediOrder

*** Also the point that the Vong earned most of their early success against the New Republic by taking advantage of its Byzantine bureaucracy to keep New Republic forces from engaging them directly and overwhelmingly for a significant amount of time. Whether or not similar tactics could have kept the mighty Imperial war machine off of them for a similar length of time is debatable. (They couldn't have bound Palpatine up in red tape, but aiding resurgent rebellions across the galaxy to keep Imperial forces tied up would have been doable, particularly with a manipulator like Nom Anor on hand). Additionally, a large part of the GFFA's success involved [[BunnyEarsLawyer unconventional tactics]] and coming up with creative ways to counter the Yuuzhan Vong's technology, which (with the exception of Thrawn) the Empire usually sucked at. Nor would the Empire have been able to draw on Jedi, for obvious reasons.

* StrawmanHasAPoint: A subplot in the early books deals with a schism within the Jedi Order brought on by the invasion, with some Jedi, opposed by Luke and the other protagonist Jedi such as the Solo siblings, wanting to use [[PointlessDoomsdayDevice leftover Imperial superweapons and Centerpoint Station]] against the Yuuzhan Vong. To prove that they're misguided, they're labeled "heretics" and are willing to do things like kidnap children. Nobody, up to and including Luke himself, is able to come up with a coherent reason why using superweapons against Yuuzhan Vong military targets is any worse than using conventional weapons--and lest we forget, Franchise/StarWarsLegends is a setting where an ordinary starship is a WeaponOfMassDestruction. (In ''Destiny's Way'', Han gives a [[DeadpanSnarker hilariously snarky]] TheReasonYouSuckSpeech pointing out that superweapons tend to be AwesomeButImpractical, although that still doesn't answer why they can't use ones that already exist.)
