So far it sounds good, but Brandon Sanderson's Mistborn uses the Rebles overthrowing the gov't theme. That and it sounds alot like Star Wars also.
First the setting is a newly established Empire based on family-line rule, very Egyptian God-king like. The ruling family has been in power for about 500 years, but has just consolidated power about 10 years ago over the western half continent with the invasion of the country that the series starts in.
What about overthrowing the Priesthood? Overthrowing the conquered territory only? Assasination of God-King? Replace God-King with a God/Goddess: work-for-hire? All of the above?
Hope it helps!
