There were so many Champions I left out of this list, but with ten spots, these are the heroes that I that I think best represent the heart and soul of what the Champions stand for. Individuality, representation, and being better than the heroes that came before them.

You're right, it should have said the previous Champions, though the 1970's team was technically called the "Champions of Los Angeles." They were the first west-coast based superhero team, and have no connection to Ms. Marvel's Champions besides sharing part of their name. This team of New Champions copied their name from the 2016 Champions, and even share the same slogan "change the world." And as the article says, both of these newer Champions teams will crossover in issue three of New Champions. So yes, there should be some respect put on the Champions of Los Angeles' name, but it was not due to lousy research that they were not mentioned in the article, they're just not related.

It's kind of a mix of both. The Jedi avoided certain feelings, fear, anger, hate, which they believed were paths to the dark side. Luke Skywalker rebuilt the same Jedi Order with the same confines as the old one, instead of building something new. Luke suppressed his emotions, which led him to blow up at Ben Solo, in a similar fashion that Anakin Skywalker blew up when he turned to the dark side. It's because of Princess Leia's acknowledgement and acceptance of her anger that she wouldn't fit in with Luke's Jedi Order with the rules he had in place, but if she were still alive, she may have fit better in Rey's new Order. Hopefully Rey can discover how to balance feeling ones emotions without falling to the dark side before she starts training the next generation of Jedi. Hope this helps!

Of course Palpatine didn't want it to outlive him, he had an entire contingency plan to destroy the Empire if it did, not only with Operation: Cinder, but also the entire Battle of Jakku was meant to destroy both the New Republic and the Empire; that's what the entire Aftermath series is about. The point of this article and what this comic series is proving, is even without Palpatine's contingency, the Empire would not survive anyway. It was build to have one powerful leader, and if Adelhard is hoping to survive, he needs to become a powerful leader, or else he will fall like Palpatine did.
