Zixis you really like to pick up the wrong end of the poker. I (& probably when) the Emperor dies it's true the empire as we know it will end but it certainly doesn't mean the franchise ends. What will probably happen is that the empire will fragment but several min empires will form each most likely lead by a surviving primarch & the story will change to humanitys battle to survive & pick up the pieces. To give humanity a realistic chance the powers that be will certainly make the Emperor a warp god & through him reduce the power of the chaos gods in the real world. That added to the likelihood of having the surviving primarchs back to give the separate regions of humanity leadership will give the human race a fighting chance in the new situation. All this will change & refresh a story that has gotten stagnant helping to ensure Warhammer 40k's survival for years to come. As long as they don't make a complete hash of it of course..........
