New video on Star Wars raises question

I found this fun little video with a nice spin on the original trilogy:

YouTube - The Falcon Strikes Back

My friends and I have been debating the topic that comes up in the beginning text of the video: Why does the empire consolidate its power?

It would seem to me to be a bad management decision for the empire to consolidate all of its major resources on a single base - death star. I can understand wanting to have the ultimate weapon in the universe, but why centralize your power (like darth, emperor, and generals) in the place where you're sinking all your resources. Are there reasons given for this within the story or background? Interested in your thoughts.

Nice bit of work Glow. You should post the link in the star wars board as well.
