Just because some of the Imperial fleet was destroyed at Endor and Palpatine was killed doesn't mean the Empire was finished by a long shot. They still had the Imperial Army, the rest of the Navy, and a rabid-for-power government that suddenly had the top spot open. The novels and comics they've been releasing explained all of that.

Endor was just a battle to the Empire. Everything after? That was the real war.
