Its just like Star Wars Return of the Jedi, they acchieved the instant win condition, as seen starting from .26 of this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CEzcrfJ667E
The Expanded Universe actually has the scenario that the Empire doesn't immediately fall and the remaining Imperial Forces are fittingly refered to as the Imperial remnants.

Of course, no matter how awesome the expanded Universe is with situations and characters - Lucas has disown it because its not "My Star Wars".
