The way I see it, well...
My Bounty Hunter wishes they could find some measure of good in this but she is dedicated to helping others now after all her life experiences. Bounty hunting just isn't the same when you've been thrust into such a position of power either. She also doesn't want all out war again so she did enjoy being able to force the Empire and Republic to play nice for a time. She plans to side with the Republic as the Empire never treated her with respect and she knows how bad life under the Empire was as she used to be an Imperial citizen.
My Sith Warrior isn't liking this at all, he had plans to conquer the Republic and Empire and adding it to his sphere of influence. Losing that much power has forced him to consider treating the Empire as almost equals, for now, as he chooses to destroy the Republic first as he perceives them as weaker. After he will aim to destroy the Empire too.
