The Plothole is that there is still a huge fleet that could wipe out the rebels at the end of the movie.
What isn't explained is thus:
1) After the Emperor died, he was no longer giving his troops battle meditation(hard to do that when you're dead). So the imperials had no real morale of their own anymore. So Captain Palleon(spelling?) ordered the retreat of the fleet. I mean come on, you just saw The Death Star II blow up, you're a lot smaller and weaker in an Imperial Class Star Destroyer. You can't blame them for retreating and trying to regroup.
2) When the word of Palpatine's death reached the rest of the galaxy, the regional commanders, moffs, and warlords took their part of the empire and called it their own. Turns out the Emproer and the fear of him was what was keeping the empire together. So instead of one giant empire, it became a bunch of smaller empires that loosely worked together to fight.
