No, they wouldn't.

The Death Star was just ONE weapon/space station. The Stormtroopers in endor were just ONE squadron of Stormtroopers.

The empire has THOUSANDS of weapons and squadrons and officers and otheer resources at their disposal.

What they were celebrating was the death of Darth Vader and Palpatine. But the empire itself outlasted them.

Only in the sequel trilogy will the empire be handled their final defeat.
