taloob Gaming Lol, is it even that many? Also how will they change that in the next, AND FINAL MOVIE? The next movie will have to have a time jump unless the plot of the movie is them recruiting worlds to fight.
Jordan Gustafson it's kinda like how in tfa the resistance is a well organized and actually effective fighting force and then in tlj they were just a few transports worth that could fit in one cruiser and two support ships
[Spoiler] The rebel alliance is massive compared to what we see by the end of TLJ, judging that the entire Resistance can now fit onto the Millennium Falcon
It's crazy how the entire Resistance went from around 1000 people and an entire starfleet at the time of the Battle of Starkiller Base, to 400 during the First Order's chase across the Galaxy, to around 30 survivors on a battered Corellian freighter after Crait. They are also similar to the Rebel Alliance when you look surface level, but when you dig deeper, you realise they are not a coalition made up of different planetary governments and unified rebel cells, more just a cheap, underfunded guerrilla-warfare militia group that's supposed to take the place of the New Republic's army.
NSL black they could have found hidden Droid factories. That way you could rebuild a large army, but you will need resources. They could have resources left in the bases. Or have nations send materials.
You are right, but I never said the whole Resistance was on the Millennium Falcon. Also no one responded to her distress call so those other groups are probably reluctant to help.
Not to mention actual wealthy planets like Alderaan supporting the Rebellion. Resistance had no one and TLJ showed exactly what the rest of the galaxy thought of them.
I believe that was the point. They have no support from other leaders that could finance them for supplies, weapons and ships. They were so small compared to both the Rebellion AND the First Order which makes their victory in TROS a lot more impactful when everyone rose up to fight back
The thing is, though, the New Republic weren't being attacked. A lot of the Senators had grown complacent with the fall of the Empire, and didn't see the First Order as a threat because, well, they didn't want to. The few that did see the writing on the walls were fighting a losing battle in the Senate, which lead to some of them, chief among them Leia, after her political career was ruined by the revelation that she was Darth Vader's daughter, formed the Resistance. They were only able to get token funding from the New Republic (For example, their flagship, the Raddus, was only given to them because the New Republic was about to decommission it), however, and even though they might've been starting to come around to the idea that another war was imminent in the end, the revelation evidently came too late. Hopefully Episode IX has the Resistance link up with whatever remnants there are of the New Republic navy, and bring them into the Resistance for the final fight.
Jordan Gustafson well not really, the rebel’s became the new republic, but because of the new republics inability to decide to use their military, the resistance was formed for defence, because even though the new republic has control of every old rebel military force vehicle and weapon, they were so split and took so long to decide there was no point to use that as an actual military. So it’s more like rebels became new republic, new republic became too powerful for their own good, resistance was formed, then new republic was decimated.
Sort of. The backstory between RoTJ and TFA is covered in the books and comics. I understand why they didn't bother explaining in Episode 7 and 8, but I think there's some legit and believable reasoning. To elaborate more on the comment by Mastechno Techman. Both the Rebels and Empire were severely weakened due to the aftermath of the Battle of Jakku. Both sides saw heavy losses. The Empire was split into multiple Imperial remnants ran by different officers much like how there were individual Rebel cells before they all came together to form the Rebel Alliance. Eventually some of the Imperial remnants agreed to the Galactic Concordance and Military Disarmament. In short, the Galactic Concordance was a peace treaty that ended the Galactic Civil War while the Military Disarmament was a law passed by the New Republic that severely limited the operations and size of the New Republic's military by 90%, so the New Republic's military was more of a defense force. They did this to show an effort and apply what they preached, which was showing the values of democracy, peace, and showing good faith towards the Imperial star systems and planets. This obviously backfired because not every Imperial remnant cells agreed to this. The ones that disagreed managed to escape to the Unknown Regions of space, which allowed them decades of time to prepare for another war. They eventually became the First Order. The reason why the First Order got so powerful was because of corruption in the New Republic and underground business deals, which companies built weapons, ships, etc for the First Order. A lot of star systems and planets that were loyal to the Galactic Empire remained loyal to the First Order. By the time the First Order started to become public, it was too late. The New Republic was too divided and corrupt to do anything, so Leia and a few others had to form the Resistance. The Resistance, like stated in this video, was smaller than the Rebels.
JDM408 wow, nice job. This makes sense, but personally I think that concept is kind of dumb. The fact that the republic survived the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War yet were not able to come up with a working system.
Jordan Gustafson The Republic from the Clone Wars is different from the New Republic after the Galactic Civil War. The Republic in the Clone Wars did not survive. It was destroyed by the Empire. The New Republic was formed after that peace treaty but also failed and the First Order destroyed it. You can also see that one has "New" in it and one does not showing that they are from different eras.
A better story instead of the resistance would’ve been an exploration into now that the rebels gained power how do they hold onto that power without becoming like the empire or the galactic republic before them.
Darth Vader I think the opposite, i find the political talks interesting, like something going on in the background that could be useful info when put together
Rev BladeZ I guess I agree, but like, damn. We should have gotten something our of the New Republic. Maybe a massive civil war between them. One faction is going crazy over the possibility of the Republic turning into the Empire again, and choosing to have just a small defense force, because a large military is where it all started. A new Old Republic. Another believing the Empire (First Order) is rising in the Unknown Regions, and they need an army to defend themselves. The Resistance. Another is a pacifist side, that wants no army, and wants to solve everything with peace. The actual New Republic. Another is imperialistic, and believes that an army is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. A new Empire. And the last is a group of people that are tired of the corruption of the Republic, Empire, and now the New Republic, and want to split and solve this problem themselves. A new CIS-like faction. And they all just end up creating 5 armies and just start shooting at eachother. But Episode 7 came and shattered all of that.
The difference is the resistance is a joke. The rebellion won the war so having a 'resistance' at this point is inane. The good guys at this point should be "The Grand Army of the New Republic." And don't tell me the GANR was wiped out by Starkiller base. No one in the history of military warfare is stupid enough to put their ENTIRE army in one spot. It's not even physically possible considering that this is the army of the GALAXY.
Richard J Stuart The New Republic didn't want to fight a war, they passed the military disarmament act after all, that's why the resistance is there, to fight the threat posed by the First Order, the same threat the republic were ignoring. And only a part of the Republic was destroyed after all.
Yes that's the official party line. Stop and actually think about that. You are trying to govern an entire galaxy and yet you have your ENTIRE star fleet in one solar system?! No navy in the history of the known universe has ever been in that situation. Pearl Harbor is about the most devastating loss for a fleet in history, yet their were ships defending the East Coast, there were ships on maneuvers, there was a ship being refitted in the state of Washington. By the very nature of the need to have some sort of coast guard in the Galactic Republic you could not possibly concentrate your starfleet to that extent in the imperial capital. Was the new Republic completely unaware of the New Order? Did they really deploy ZERO ships to the boarder? You're not just talking 'we have cut the defense' budget here. You are talking about incompetence on an amazingly epic and totally unbelievable scale.
Disney logic... Plot demanded the collapse of NR, so they made up this excuse of demilitarization and infighting within the Senate. Meanwhile Snoke Ex Machina conveniently created the FO.
Well I don’t think that the entire fleet was in one place, also I’m pretty sure the new republic was more like a confederacy with each planet having their own army to use as its primary defense. The NR army was probably just there to stop pirates and small scale terrorists. And they may have demilitarized because after the empire was gone there was no large scale threat. Their military is just like that if the republic before the clones. Of course that’s just my speculation
I find those helmets better than the Rebel Marine helmet. But I gotta agreed that the Rebel Alliance have better looking helmets. Rogue One even have the Rebels wearing helmets resembles the M1 helmet
The Rebel Alliance: Cells of united rebels that slowly grew as the war progress Resistance: Reunion of the last living rebels that now fitted inside the millenium falcon
"The Resistance" such a dull, unimaginitive name. I would assume a para military group created to combat the First Order would have a more fitting name. "The Anti-Imperial task force" or "Alliance peacekeepers" are both dull, but would have still made more sense.
Lord Floyd Agreed. Though I would’ve preferred they not kill of the New Republic and have two large galactic factions instead of ripping of the galactic civil war
JDM408 That's the problem I have with the Last Jedi, why did we go through the Resistence if they were just going to change it. The last Jedi made the Force Awakens look like it's only purpose was to introduce characters. Now we only have 1 film left, and we are not really that far into this story that will just change with ANOTHER director who should have done all of them in the first place.
Lord Floyd I completely agree with you the republic had a peace keepers in the prequel which was the Jedi. But any large government and organizations such as U.N have peace keeping groups. Then what’s keeping the government together
if you think about it the resistance is literally a bunch of people old lady leia hired to try and cause a another major war between the first order and new republic. I mean this is just a private organisation with fancy toys going into some else's area of control and trying to topple them. different from the rebels trying to overthrow the evil government oppressing them and there people.
7:50 Wait... the First Order took over the Galaxy with... ten thousand troops? Are you fucking kidding me? Does anyone writing this stuff have ANY sense of scale? Ten thousand is so few you could barely hold a real life small country, or a big city. It's a single army division... barely. I mean, I get that they have a big fleet and are scary and all that shit, but there comes a point where sheer fucking numbers come into play. You can't garrison a galaxy with only ten thousand men!
Check my pinned comment. This video was made before the updated canon regarding the First Order numbers. The Sequel Trilogy canon is always in constant update and Lucasfilm corrected that after they realized how silly only ten thousand troops was. Check my Empire vs First Order video for more detailed information + my latest First Order Invasion video on how they have yet to really conquer the galaxy.
CORRECTION: Due to this video being released before The Last Jedi, the reference of The First Order only having 10,000 troops after Starkiller is now no longer canon. The actual number of First Order troops has been corrected in my latest Empire vs First Order video. However, regardless of this short reference, it still doesn't detract at all of how tiny the Resistance army was compared to the Rebel army (who was still tackling the Empire, a much larger faction than the First Order).
Short Version: The Rebels are...well, Rebels fighting over political issues. The Resistance are more like WWII resistance movements like the French Maquis, Tito's partisans, and the Polish Home Army all fighting foreign invasion and occupation. Long Version: The difference is not so much who they are as who they faced. The Rebellion faced an obvious enemy in the Galactic Empire. Until the destruction of the Hosnian System, no appreciable number of people believed the First Order to be a threat. This governed the sizes of the factions. Another difference is their self-perception. As the Oscar Issac quote in the video mentioned, the resistance is inherently defensive and more military-minded than the Rebellion which was explicitly political. The Galactic Civil War was exactly that: a Civil War over the successor government of the Old Republic fought between its former members. Since the progenitors of the First Order was cast out of galactic society and matured in the isolation of the Unknown Region, it can be thought of more as a completely different nation. In an odd way, while this is all political, there is less politics involved with the sequels as it can be thought of more as a turf war.
The next trilogy will be about The Separate Goverment , which is basically the CIS. They have the same ships and ground forces as the CIS but theirs are stronger and faster, and the battle droids have human brains in them. The Separate Goverment is led by Count Dooku´s grandson Dooku the III, by his side is Grievous the II the grandson of General Grievous. He has sworn to kill every Jedi in the galaxy in order to honor his fallen grandpa, plus both are force sensitive. But The Separate Goverment´s plan to conquer the galaxy will be stooped by the Newly Reformed New Republic which is forced to use a clone army comprised of force sensitives led by Jedi Grand General Rey and Kylo. Anyone eles hyped!
Just my opinion, but I honestly believe that the new upcoming starwars films should be more like rogue one. Not the theme, storyline or anything like that, I just feel like the recent ones are too "Oh look at me I'm a hero!" and less serious about the actual plot. Plus, Rogue one didn't make me cringe, I wanted to not cringe at some points watching the last Jedi, but it..it was too much.
Near the end of The Last Jedi, they made it clear that their so called allies in the Outer Rims received their distress call for help, but didn't do anything. I think a portion of Episode 9 will be the Resistance/Rebels trying to unite various planets to their cause again.
Just Awsome i agree the Force Awakens was *bad* but at least it could have given "good" continuation but fucking damn The Last Jedi didnt give a satisfactory continuation to everything
One of them is an easily understood entity that's part of a classic trilogy of groundbreaking films. The other one is a shameless ripoff of what came before it and nothing about it is explained in the film it's introduced in, causing much confusion amongst movie goers.
Well they're more like leia's private army to counter the first order. They're also one of the last force to combat the first order due to star-killer base wiping out core republic worlds and fleets. Though a movie about the new republic fleet vs the first order would've been more entertaining.
Then there’s TLJ. The Rebels were desperate, but not too desperate because of their supplies and funding. The Resistance was supported by the New Republic, but wasn’t too heavily armed until the First Order bared its teeth, firing Starkiller Base, and then the Resistance was just basically a few hundred men to a few thousand. See, the Resistance is not just a shameless ripoff of the Alliance!
Well one was competent, and the other wasn’t. Rebels had smart leaders with a keen sense of strategy, while the Resistance had smart-hating leaders who were keen on deciding what their hair color should be.
And the thing is they never answer why the Resistance is underfunded. The New Republic should have been able to fully back the Resistance. But even then why would the new republic need to back an underground resistance group in order to combat the first order?? The first order is obviously a malicious military group seeking to take over the new republic. Why the hell wouldn't the republic just combat the first order directly?? No answer for that in the movies. Which completely undermines the importance of the resistance and significance of them being desperate and small.
My biggest problem is that the republic is still a rebellion. They should’ve flipped the roles and had the republic the high-budget legit army and had the first order be the resistance type army
Can't really disagree with Oscar Isaac here. Basically, the Resistance rarely would enter skirmishes openly with the FO, unlike the Rebels whom were more open to that. Attacking Starkiller was not only the Resistance's first real push back against the FO, but also one that they really didn't have a choice in saying 'no' to.
Most people don't seem to like the new trilogy's "Resistance" because it reminds them too much of the rebellion, which as explained in the video were far superior. To me the new movies shows the dwindling power the Resistance has. The newest movie the last Jedi had a pretty obvious theme with it, Letting Old things Die. Throughout the movie you are shown examples of this, whether it be Luke's actions, Kylo's actions, or the Dying Resistance holding on by an inch. The Resistance is becoming one of the old things Dying off. The question at the End of the movie is will they? Probably not
Seeing as each faction is a lot smaller now, and we know other factions exist. I would love if episode IX explored the possibility of a third player. Mandalor, the chiss, ect. I know the new movies seem to like creating side stories that don't go anywhere, but it would be awesome if right before the First Order struck down the resistance, they had to recall cruisers to defend against a third party
Nathaniel Brouwer you're asking to much from the Empi..I mean, Disney. Like if they would ACTUALLY not copy from the original trilogy or borrow things from the Legends canon.
The difference is that one was made by the man who created star wars, and the other is rehashed garbage made by a company to milk fans of all their money in sub par yearly blockbusters.
"Act as parallels" I mean, I guess if you think ST destroying the point of the prophesy, making Han a dead beat dad and making Luke a coward..sure. Bunch of garbage, Disney couldn't manage to come up with anything original OR treat the OT with respect.
Rebellion: Before Disney Resistance: After Disney The Rebellion had a massive fleet with Alderaan, a wealthy inner rim planet supporting them. In the Last Jedi, there were 400 Resistance fighters after Poe took down the dreadnought and no came to help them on the abandoned Rebel outpost and yet they still came out on top.
So how is it that the First Order came to power? Why didn’t the rebellion grow in order to possibly prevent another Empire from growing? I’ve always questioned this lol.
Ryan Dan the First Order gained it’s power in The Unknown Regions, far away from the New Republic’s eyes. By the time the First Order was made public, they were far more powerful than anyone knew. The New Republic believed they weren’t a threat, so they didn’t fight back, even though they did fund the Resistance.
Well looks like the rebel alliance got the same old problem everybody goes through.........going old You were so full of energy and had lots of items and full of strength, then fast foward years later and now you gotten old, your limited to the energy you once had, you don't have much of the items you had, and your strength is barely half you once had, but at least your opponent went through that, even if they a powerful destroying planet device.
If they just used the Republic instead, then we could've seen awesome naval battles with both sides showing their military might. Just think of how awesome that could be.
I actually like the sequel films, unlike many, but it is disappointing that they basically discarded everything that the heroes won in the original trilogy just to make the conflict a rehash of an evil empire (First Order) against a rag-tag rebellion (Resistance) again. I know that some of the spin-off books have tried to explain the origin of the conflict, but it makes no sense that it should have been up to a tiny Resistance to oppose the First Order while the New Republic, the official dominant power in the galaxy, did nothing and then was totally defeated by one shot from Starkiller base. Say what you will about the prequels or the old Legends material, but at least they told completely different stories than the original trilogy and allowed for real changed in the status quo of the galaxy, not just the same conflict with different names.
It would have been awesome to see the new republic fleet vs the first order IF the new republic hadn’t demilitarised. That was kind of dumb, because they probably knew that some of the officers from the galactic empire flew to the unknown regions and that they maybe would return.Fun to speculate. Nice video by the way!
The Rebels would be more of a threat, of course but the First Order would still be stronger. I'm putting out a new video of the Empire vs First Order today you should check out
I dunno. The Rebels barely managed to fend off the Empire until the events of Rogue One with the Battle of Scarif, which they got extremely lucky with along with their other battles leading up to Return of the Jedi. Don't forget that it's been 30 years in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, so the First Order has better technology, weapons, ships, etc. They maybe smaller than the Empire, but the First Order makes it up in quality over quantity.
Not hard to figure out. Rebellion is an group of systems that want to either split from or destroy the empire. Resistance is a group of systems resisting occupation by the first order.
9:47 - I was going to comment this exact thing! the resistance being small, poorly funded, and using leftovers from its predecessor fits the story of the ST because the first order is essentially the same thing: a smaller, lesser funded organization that uses leftovers from its predecessor. thematically, theyre balanced. i think the only thing i wish was different was the resistance insignia. i understand the outfits and machinery being the same, but the symbols couldve easily been changed to signify a new, different organization.
The Rebel Alliance had something to fight for, the Resistance was defending things that were already destroyed. Oh, and the Rebel Alliance's victory actually mattered.
I hope what happens in ep.9 is while the resistance is rebuilding the rebellion, a few New Republic ships come to aid the resistance because they survived starkiller base, or they were on a mission.
Well, yes, but by that logic, all factions are the same because the Republic were some people who didn't like the Sepratists, the Empire were some people who didn't like -the Rebellion- anyone, and the Jedi were some people who didn't like the Sith. If you break it down to that level, every faction is just people who don't like other people.
(Spoiler, You Have Been Warned) In Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker: The Resistance completed tasks on whatever they call that giant sun planet thing. They gathered a tracking device from the Rebellion, as a factor of them being in the same faction, just a separate fragment. He states this, yet it was in 2017. How the Resistance formed in the end was that all the ships heard there call against Emperor Palpatine's New Order. This ultimately shows the galaxy has more backup than stated in this YT video. They had more troops, artillery, and Jedi due to Ben Solo.
The thousands of ships seen at the end of TROS weren’t part of the Resistance faction. They were just civilian ships who joined the fight at the very last minute. The Resistance didn’t even have a proper Capital ship during TROS.
It’s funny how Jar Jar Abrams and Ruin Johnson want you to cheer for the resistance even tho they are so pathetically small and didn’t even take time to prepare for a war
It was a weird choice to ditch the new Republic in favor of the Resistance. It would have made just as much sense to establish our heroes as regular Republic forces.
TH-camr: *makes video providing reasonable and valid explaination for a criticism of something in the new canon* Commenter: *ignores everything actually said in the video* Lol bad writing SJW Jar Jar Abhrams Everywhere I look.
What I would have wanted would be a Knights of the Old Republic setting where both the Republic and Sith are on Equal ground and fight each other like the Allies fought the Axis in WW2 instead of recycled the “good Guys are outnumbered by superior bad guys” crap. Could have gotten into deeper themes like interventionism and if the Republic would become a new empire through Oligarchy like the US is nowadays.
APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE ABOUT TO GO INTO RANT MODE I guess this is why it's hard for me to get into Sequel trilogy content. Prequels - You had the galactic republic who stood for democracy but was riddled with corruption and bureaucracy Then you had the CIS, planets that just wanted to be free and get away from the republic's corruption while being manipulated by Galactic Megacorporations who are being manipulated by the sith. OG - There's the Galactic Empire, an evil empire that wants to rule the galaxy and will crush all those who oppose them under their boot. With the Rebel Alliance who are all these rebel cells coming together under one banner to fight against the Galactic Empire and restore democracy from Tyranny. Yes the First Order and Resistance have their differences but they don't have enough aesthetic differences to help them stand on their own. The First Order feels like Galactic Empire BUT EVEN MORE NAZI, and The Resistance just feels like Rebel Alliance HD Redesign. The Galactic Republic had aesthetics that look like they could EVOLVE into the Empire but also some elements here and there where the Rebel Alliance would carry off from them. And then my favorite the CIS, they had their own more unique aesthetic, they felt more rounded and alien which was fitting as alot of 'alien' races formed the CIS. The Galactic Republic and CIS feel like a reverse Empire and Rebels in the sense where the position of the Empire is in the Republic are the good guys while the position the Rebels are in the CIS are the bad guys. Like what George Lucas once said IT RHYMES. Now we get into the First Order and Resistance..... Their aesthetics are almost the same. It feels like only 5 or so years passed, not 36 years. Now we look towards the time between Episode 3 and 4, it was 19 years right? The aesthetics of technology were vastly different, letting the prequels stand on it's own, comparing the two it feels like by the time of the Galactic Civil War, technology had advanced. Let's play pretend here. Remove the Resistance here, we'll keep the First Order. If we had the New Republic instead, we can see how the Rebel Alliance advanced, we can see heirs of the alliances at full industrial and military support. This would make a new war by far more cinematic. I'm one of the few people that likes Vice Admiral Holdo. I have a feeling why people don't like here, she's the vice admiral of the Resistance, a VERY VERY important person. She came in wearing a dress and purple hair. Before I get to my point let's take Mon Mothma here for a second, had pretty hair, wore a dress, she was a Rebel leader but didn't hold military ranking in a combative sense, I know I'm explaining that part poorly I'm sorry. Leia wore a dress and was all pretty but she didn't hold military ranking UNTIL Empire Strikes Back, by then she ditched her dress. Now back to the point, if Holdo had worn uniform and didn't have that purple hair I feel people would have liked her more.
The rebellion had a lot of clone wars hero’s and veterans and some elite imperials who defected which really helped Ya those heavy bombers were limited because they were terrible and easy targets
Disney's fan-fiction sequel trilogy is so.... boring In the Star Wars universe there is literally unlimited possibility to make new factions that are exciting, new and iconic. Actually I'm wrong, Disney did make new factions: The Galactic SJW feminist alliance & The Incompetent Order Legends is canon for me, Disney's fan-fiction no longer has any meaning for me #NotMyLuke
I don't consider episode 7 & 8 canon, and neither do many of the fans. First was a ripoff of the 1977 original and the other politicized, post-modern / feminist bs. Nothing more than glorified fan films, with the difference that fan films wouldn't take a shit on the franchise like Last Jedi did. Thanks for ruining Star Wars & abolishing the EU which was 10x better than this crap, thanks Disney ... -_-'
You are literally complaining that episode 7 was too much like the originals, and in the same breath whining that episode 8 was too much of a change. We can't take you seriously.
And now the resistance is 40 people on a half-century old modified Correlian freighter
taloob Gaming Lol, is it even that many? Also how will they change that in the next, AND FINAL MOVIE? The next movie will have to have a time jump unless the plot of the movie is them recruiting worlds to fight.
Jordan Gustafson it's kinda like how in tfa the resistance is a well organized and actually effective fighting force and then in tlj they were just a few transports worth that could fit in one cruiser and two support ships
Did you even listen to the movie? They had allies at the outer rim.
Spongegar Yeah, but those 'allies' didn't come for help at Crait, where the resistance was having its last stand.
OronaminC BAT they where likely trying to re-organize after their main government has been disorganized and where unable to help, we’ll see in ep9
[Spoiler] The rebel alliance is massive compared to what we see by the end of TLJ, judging that the entire Resistance can now fit onto the Millennium Falcon
It was already massive compared to the Resistance you see in TFA. The remaining Resistance at the end of TLJ is just merely a joke at that point.
It's crazy how the entire Resistance went from around 1000 people and an entire starfleet at the time of the Battle of Starkiller Base, to 400 during the First Order's chase across the Galaxy, to around 30 survivors on a battered Corellian freighter after Crait.
They are also similar to the Rebel Alliance when you look surface level, but when you dig deeper, you realise they are not a coalition made up of different planetary governments and unified rebel cells, more just a cheap, underfunded guerrilla-warfare militia group that's supposed to take the place of the New Republic's army.
“Hey can I copy your homework?”
“Yeah sure just change it up a bit.”
JJ Abrams Sequel Trilogy in a nutshell
Yeah, that is exactly why I hate the Sequels Trilogy so much.
Well now the Resistance is basically just the Millennium Falcon
they might as well give up leia needs to accept that her private army is toast.
You know what I'd like to see? If the resistance reactivated the separatist army and used them against the first order
Josh G. That would make the new films way better, although there is probably nothing left of CIS army except for rust
NSL black they could have found hidden Droid factories. That way you could rebuild a large army, but you will need resources. They could have resources left in the bases. Or have nations send materials.
You are right, but I never said the whole Resistance was on the Millennium Falcon. Also no one responded to her distress call so those other groups are probably reluctant to help.
The difference is that the rebellion was better equiped, larger, and made sense
Plus has direct support from the deposed government. The Resistance has little to no support from the Republic.
Not to mention actual wealthy planets like Alderaan supporting the Rebellion. Resistance had no one and TLJ showed exactly what the rest of the galaxy thought of them.
Alex Wiggins Long live the empire
I believe that was the point. They have no support from other leaders that could finance them for supplies, weapons and ships. They were so small compared to both the Rebellion AND the First Order which makes their victory in TROS a lot more impactful when everyone rose up to fight back
@@JeanLucCaptain yeah since the new republic had an actual armed forces (even if it sucked), ressistance is just a private army
One has that symbol inside a circle. The other doesn't.
Lmao
lol
-wow that was very stupid of you-
One rebels and one resists...duh!!
Angel Galvez F*ckingclever
This is a resistance, isn't it?
I resist.
I’m a ganuis
Angel Galvez it was kind of obvious so "I use common sense" is a better way of saying it.
Dieplop3 r/madlads
I find it dumb that a government is being attacked and still does not want a military.Even with former rebles in high command within the senate
The thing is, though, the New Republic weren't being attacked. A lot of the Senators had grown complacent with the fall of the Empire, and didn't see the First Order as a threat because, well, they didn't want to. The few that did see the writing on the walls were fighting a losing battle in the Senate, which lead to some of them, chief among them Leia, after her political career was ruined by the revelation that she was Darth Vader's daughter, formed the Resistance.
They were only able to get token funding from the New Republic (For example, their flagship, the Raddus, was only given to them because the New Republic was about to decommission it), however, and even though they might've been starting to come around to the idea that another war was imminent in the end, the revelation evidently came too late. Hopefully Episode IX has the Resistance link up with whatever remnants there are of the New Republic navy, and bring them into the Resistance for the final fight.
So basically the rebels got weaker after they beat the Empire in Return of the Jedi, cause that makes sense.
Jordan Gustafson well not really, the rebel’s became the new republic, but because of the new republics inability to decide to use their military, the resistance was formed for defence, because even though the new republic has control of every old rebel military force vehicle and weapon, they were so split and took so long to decide there was no point to use that as an actual military. So it’s more like rebels became new republic, new republic became too powerful for their own good, resistance was formed, then new republic was decimated.
Guess we'll never get any New Republic action....
Sort of. The backstory between RoTJ and TFA is covered in the books and comics. I understand why they didn't bother explaining in Episode 7 and 8, but I think there's some legit and believable reasoning.
To elaborate more on the comment by Mastechno Techman. Both the Rebels and Empire were severely weakened due to the aftermath of the Battle of Jakku. Both sides saw heavy losses. The Empire was split into multiple Imperial remnants ran by different officers much like how there were individual Rebel cells before they all came together to form the Rebel Alliance.
Eventually some of the Imperial remnants agreed to the Galactic Concordance and Military Disarmament. In short, the Galactic Concordance was a peace treaty that ended the Galactic Civil War while the Military Disarmament was a law passed by the New Republic that severely limited the operations and size of the New Republic's military by 90%, so the New Republic's military was more of a defense force. They did this to show an effort and apply what they preached, which was showing the values of democracy, peace, and showing good faith towards the Imperial star systems and planets.
This obviously backfired because not every Imperial remnant cells agreed to this. The ones that disagreed managed to escape to the Unknown Regions of space, which allowed them decades of time to prepare for another war. They eventually became the First Order. The reason why the First Order got so powerful was because of corruption in the New Republic and underground business deals, which companies built weapons, ships, etc for the First Order. A lot of star systems and planets that were loyal to the Galactic Empire remained loyal to the First Order.
By the time the First Order started to become public, it was too late. The New Republic was too divided and corrupt to do anything, so Leia and a few others had to form the Resistance. The Resistance, like stated in this video, was smaller than the Rebels.
JDM408 wow, nice job. This makes sense, but personally I think that concept is kind of dumb. The fact that the republic survived the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War yet were not able to come up with a working system.
Jordan Gustafson The Republic from the Clone Wars is different from the New Republic after the Galactic Civil War. The Republic in the Clone Wars did not survive. It was destroyed by the Empire. The New Republic was formed after that peace treaty but also failed and the First Order destroyed it. You can also see that one has "New" in it and one does not showing that they are from different eras.
A better story instead of the resistance would’ve been an exploration into now that the rebels gained power how do they hold onto that power without becoming like the empire or the galactic republic before them.
You want this to be like the Prequels, with their boring political talks?
Darth Vader I think the opposite, i find the political talks interesting, like something going on in the background that could be useful info when put together
Rev BladeZ I guess I agree, but like, damn. We should have gotten something our of the New Republic. Maybe a massive civil war between them.
One faction is going crazy over the possibility of the Republic turning into the Empire again, and choosing to have just a small defense force, because a large military is where it all started. A new Old Republic.
Another believing the Empire (First Order) is rising in the Unknown Regions, and they need an army to defend themselves. The Resistance.
Another is a pacifist side, that wants no army, and wants to solve everything with peace. The actual New Republic.
Another is imperialistic, and believes that an army is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. A new Empire.
And the last is a group of people that are tired of the corruption of the Republic, Empire, and now the New Republic, and want to split and solve this problem themselves. A new CIS-like faction.
And they all just end up creating 5 armies and just start shooting at eachother.
But Episode 7 came and shattered all of that.
To be fair, the authors had to come up with something to explain the state of the Star Wars world created by JJ Abrams.
Extended universe did this, a lot. Boring and old hat if you ask me.
The difference is the resistance is a joke. The rebellion won the war so having a 'resistance' at this point is inane. The good guys at this point should be "The Grand Army of the New Republic." And don't tell me the GANR was wiped out by Starkiller base. No one in the history of military warfare is stupid enough to put their ENTIRE army in one spot. It's not even physically possible considering that this is the army of the GALAXY.
Richard J Stuart The New Republic didn't want to fight a war, they passed the military disarmament act after all, that's why the resistance is there, to fight the threat posed by the First Order, the same threat the republic were ignoring. And only a part of the Republic was destroyed after all.
After the battle of Jakku the New Republic reduced his military drastically, so most of the Republic fleet was in the hosnian system.
Yes that's the official party line. Stop and actually think about that. You are trying to govern an entire galaxy and yet you have your ENTIRE star fleet in one solar system?! No navy in the history of the known universe has ever been in that situation. Pearl Harbor is about the most devastating loss for a fleet in history, yet their were ships defending the East Coast, there were ships on maneuvers, there was a ship being refitted in the state of Washington. By the very nature of the need to have some sort of coast guard in the Galactic Republic you could not possibly concentrate your starfleet to that extent in the imperial capital. Was the new Republic completely unaware of the New Order? Did they really deploy ZERO ships to the boarder? You're not just talking 'we have cut the defense' budget here. You are talking about incompetence on an amazingly epic and totally unbelievable scale.
Disney logic... Plot demanded the collapse of NR, so they made up this excuse of demilitarization and infighting within the Senate. Meanwhile Snoke Ex Machina conveniently created the FO.
Well I don’t think that the entire fleet was in one place, also I’m pretty sure the new republic was more like a confederacy with each planet having their own army to use as its primary defense. The NR army was probably just there to stop pirates and small scale terrorists. And they may have demilitarized because after the empire was gone there was no large scale threat. Their military is just like that if the republic before the clones. Of course that’s just my speculation
The resistance has more stupid looking helmets, that's the difference
Literally the same thing I wanted to comment
Idk men, Those helmets are pretty cool...
I find those helmets better than the Rebel Marine helmet. But I gotta agreed that the Rebel Alliance have better looking helmets. Rogue One even have the Rebels wearing helmets resembles the M1 helmet
Casanova Frankenstein hahahaha nice reference to the last jedi
@@thitran1362 they use an actual ww2 surplus helmet for the props
The Rebel Alliance: Cells of united rebels that slowly grew as the war progress
Resistance: Reunion of the last living rebels that now fitted inside the millenium falcon
True
"The Resistance" such a dull, unimaginitive name. I would assume a para military group created to combat the First Order would have a more fitting name. "The Anti-Imperial task force" or "Alliance peacekeepers" are both dull, but would have still made more sense.
Lord Floyd Agreed. Though I would’ve preferred they not kill of the New Republic and have two large galactic factions instead of ripping of the galactic civil war
And with the events of The Last Jedi, they're Rebels again, lol.
JDM408 That's the problem I have with the Last Jedi, why did we go through the Resistence if they were just going to change it. The last Jedi made the Force Awakens look like it's only purpose was to introduce characters. Now we only have 1 film left, and we are not really that far into this story that will just change with ANOTHER director who should have done all of them in the first place.
Lord Floyd I completely agree with you the republic had a peace keepers in the prequel which was the Jedi. But any large government and organizations such as U.N have peace keeping groups. Then what’s keeping the government together
if you think about it the resistance is literally a bunch of people old lady leia hired to try and cause a another major war between the first order and new republic. I mean this is just a private organisation with fancy toys going into some else's area of control and trying to topple them. different from the rebels trying to overthrow the evil government oppressing them and there people.
Rebels: Freedom Fighters Resistance: Low Budget Private Army
Eww I don't want join resistance
The Resistance caused by a lack of creativity...
just as simple as that
7:50 Wait... the First Order took over the Galaxy with... ten thousand troops? Are you fucking kidding me? Does anyone writing this stuff have ANY sense of scale? Ten thousand is so few you could barely hold a real life small country, or a big city. It's a single army division... barely.
I mean, I get that they have a big fleet and are scary and all that shit, but there comes a point where sheer fucking numbers come into play. You can't garrison a galaxy with only ten thousand men!
Check my pinned comment. This video was made before the updated canon regarding the First Order numbers. The Sequel Trilogy canon is always in constant update and Lucasfilm corrected that after they realized how silly only ten thousand troops was. Check my Empire vs First Order video for more detailed information + my latest First Order Invasion video on how they have yet to really conquer the galaxy.
CORRECTION: Due to this video being released before The Last Jedi, the reference of The First Order only having 10,000 troops after Starkiller is now no longer canon. The actual number of First Order troops has been corrected in my latest Empire vs First Order video. However, regardless of this short reference, it still doesn't detract at all of how tiny the Resistance army was compared to the Rebel army (who was still tackling the Empire, a much larger faction than the First Order).
I agree with that statement.
SYLO: Star Wars you forgot to mention their B wings in the last jedi
SYLO: Star Wars I miss Carrie Fisher 😭😢😵😷
SYLO: Star Wars hey nice video may I act what game those Starwars rebellions Scenes come from? It's haunting me
Short Version: The Rebels are...well, Rebels fighting over political issues. The Resistance are more like WWII resistance movements like the French Maquis, Tito's partisans, and the Polish Home Army all fighting foreign invasion and occupation.
Long Version: The difference is not so much who they are as who they faced. The Rebellion faced an obvious enemy in the Galactic Empire. Until the destruction of the Hosnian System, no appreciable number of people believed the First Order to be a threat. This governed the sizes of the factions. Another difference is their self-perception. As the Oscar Issac quote in the video mentioned, the resistance is inherently defensive and more military-minded than the Rebellion which was explicitly political. The Galactic Civil War was exactly that: a Civil War over the successor government of the Old Republic fought between its former members. Since the progenitors of the First Order was cast out of galactic society and matured in the isolation of the Unknown Region, it can be thought of more as a completely different nation. In an odd way, while this is all political, there is less politics involved with the sequels as it can be thought of more as a turf war.
The next trilogy will be about The Separate Goverment , which is basically the CIS. They have the same ships and ground forces as the CIS but theirs are stronger and faster, and the battle droids have human brains in them. The Separate Goverment is led by Count Dooku´s grandson Dooku the III, by his side is Grievous the II the grandson of General Grievous. He has sworn to kill every Jedi in the galaxy in order to honor his fallen grandpa, plus both are force sensitive. But The Separate Goverment´s plan to conquer the galaxy will be stooped by the Newly Reformed New Republic which is forced to use a clone army comprised of force sensitives led by Jedi Grand General Rey and Kylo. Anyone eles hyped!
That unironically sounds amazing tbh
That's actually pretty badass
Maybe i will write a fanfiction about my comment and read it on my channel
Li'o the noob of everything 💥🔫 *_(thud)_*
It's probably sad that, that is a better story then episode 8.
Beware though Disney will kill anyone who mentions prequel lore.
Just my opinion, but I honestly believe that the new upcoming starwars films should be more like rogue one. Not the theme, storyline or anything like that, I just feel like the recent ones are too "Oh look at me I'm a hero!" and less serious about the actual plot. Plus, Rogue one didn't make me cringe, I wanted to not cringe at some points watching the last Jedi, but it..it was too much.
Near the end of The Last Jedi, they made it clear that their so called allies in the Outer Rims received their distress call for help, but didn't do anything. I think a portion of Episode 9 will be the Resistance/Rebels trying to unite various planets to their cause again.
Both films are crap. The Force Awakens was BAD but the Last Jedi is even worse...
Just Awsome i agree the Force Awakens was *bad* but at least it could have given "good" continuation but fucking damn The Last Jedi didnt give a satisfactory continuation to everything
gabigabgabzzz Why would you continue something that was “bad”? Besides that, why make an incomplete film that needed a sequel to explain itself?
One of them is an easily understood entity that's part of a classic trilogy of groundbreaking films. The other one is a shameless ripoff of what came before it and nothing about it is explained in the film it's introduced in, causing much confusion amongst movie goers.
these new movies are a waste of time
Well they're more like leia's private army to counter the first order. They're also one of the last force to combat the first order due to star-killer base wiping out core republic worlds and fleets. Though a movie about the new republic fleet vs the first order would've been more entertaining.
Then there’s TLJ. The Rebels were desperate, but not too desperate because of their supplies and funding. The Resistance was supported by the New Republic, but wasn’t too heavily armed until the First Order bared its teeth, firing Starkiller Base, and then the Resistance was just basically a few hundred men to a few thousand. See, the Resistance is not just a shameless ripoff of the Alliance!
Rebels: "Who are you?"
Resistance: "I'm you, but weaker"
Well one was competent, and the other wasn’t. Rebels had smart leaders with a keen sense of strategy, while the Resistance had smart-hating leaders who were keen on deciding what their hair color should be.
And the thing is they never answer why the Resistance is underfunded. The New Republic should have been able to fully back the Resistance.
But even then why would the new republic need to back an underground resistance group in order to combat the first order?? The first order is obviously a malicious military group seeking to take over the new republic. Why the hell wouldn't the republic just combat the first order directly?? No answer for that in the movies. Which completely undermines the importance of the resistance and significance of them being desperate and small.
the new order was wiped out

My biggest problem is that the republic is still a rebellion. They should’ve flipped the roles and had the republic the high-budget legit army and had the first order be the resistance type army
Great use of the Rogue Squadron music in the beginning! Loved those games so much!
5:11
That doesn’t make sense because the Resistance attacked Starkiller base just like the Rebel Alliance attacked both Death Stars.
Can't really disagree with Oscar Isaac here. Basically, the Resistance rarely would enter skirmishes openly with the FO, unlike the Rebels whom were more open to that. Attacking Starkiller was not only the Resistance's first real push back against the FO, but also one that they really didn't have a choice in saying 'no' to.
SYLO: Star Wars Yeah, i guess you’re right. Thanks. Great video btw.
Most people don't seem to like the new trilogy's "Resistance" because it reminds them too much of the rebellion, which as explained in the video were far superior. To me the new movies shows the dwindling power the Resistance has. The newest movie the last Jedi had a pretty obvious theme with it, Letting Old things Die. Throughout the movie you are shown examples of this, whether it be Luke's actions, Kylo's actions, or the Dying Resistance holding on by an inch. The Resistance is becoming one of the old things Dying off. The question at the End of the movie is will they?
Probably not
Seeing as each faction is a lot smaller now, and we know other factions exist. I would love if episode IX explored the possibility of a third player. Mandalor, the chiss, ect. I know the new movies seem to like creating side stories that don't go anywhere, but it would be awesome if right before the First Order struck down the resistance, they had to recall cruisers to defend against a third party
Nathaniel Brouwer you're asking to much from the Empi..I mean, Disney. Like if they would ACTUALLY not copy from the original trilogy or borrow things from the Legends canon.
There is yellow blaster fire in one of the trailers, where Kylo is killing people in a forest, so that may hint at mandalorians
I’m now officially referring to the resistance as “the struggle alliance”
The difference is that one was made by the man who created star wars, and the other is rehashed garbage made by a company to milk fans of all their money in sub par yearly blockbusters.
"Act as parallels"
I mean, I guess if you think ST destroying the point of the prophesy, making Han a dead beat dad and making Luke a coward..sure.
Bunch of garbage, Disney couldn't manage to come up with anything original OR treat the OT with respect.
+Jonathan Haha, sorry your personal fanfic didn't come true. Sorry characters are flawed and not mini gods like in your special story
Great video! You deserve so many more subscribers, and I’m glad to see your channel growing fast.
The Rebels were amazing. The Resistance is just fueled by plot armor
Can I just say, best part of this video is the Rogue Squadron background music. Great vid!
This is a great video.
One is the original and one is a copycat
Rebellion: Before Disney
Resistance: After Disney
The Rebellion had a massive fleet with Alderaan, a wealthy inner rim planet supporting them. In the Last Jedi, there were 400 Resistance fighters after Poe took down the dreadnought and no came to help them on the abandoned Rebel outpost and yet they still came out on top.
resistance was a rip off rebels,despite the new republic has been establish and they wanted to fight first order for themselves
I wondered when you were going to cover this topic.
This is one of the best Star Wars facts video I've ever seen
The Thrawn Trilogy is so much better than The Last Jedi.
B4ndoGor4 of course
B4ndoGor4 Also the x-wing novels
One is rebelling against an empire that rules the Galaxy, the other is resisting the attempt of the first order to rule the Galaxy.
Boom! Subbed!
Ha, the resistance in the rise of the Skywalker “I’m gonna end this mans whole career”
You my man need more subs!
So how is it that the First Order came to power? Why didn’t the rebellion grow in order to possibly prevent another Empire from growing? I’ve always questioned this lol.
Ryan Dan the First Order gained it’s power in The Unknown Regions, far away from the New Republic’s eyes. By the time the First Order was made public, they were far more powerful than anyone knew. The New Republic believed they weren’t a threat, so they didn’t fight back, even though they did fund the Resistance.
Wonderful video!
I think Disney just copied the original movies
Der Kaylon yup
True
and they use fan service to shut up the fans..
Der Kaylon you think
Josh Hearn The plot is the same, the characters are different
Der Kaylon And they plagiarized the best parts of Legends. Nothing Disney has made is original.
How did you get the rouge squadron sound track? Can i buy it some where?
Basically leias little private army can't do shit
Well looks like the rebel alliance got the same old problem everybody goes through.........going old
You were so full of energy and had lots of items and full of strength, then fast foward years later and now you gotten old, your limited to the energy you once had, you don't have much of the items you had, and your strength is barely half you once had, but at least your opponent went through that, even if they a powerful destroying planet device.
Episodes 4-6: Rebellion and The Empire
Episodes 7-9: Rebellion 2 and The Empire 2
The difference was that the logo is orange compared to red. 🙄
Blue if you're Dak.
If they just used the Republic instead, then we could've seen awesome naval battles with both sides showing their military might. Just think of how awesome that could be.
Just subbed
What's the song in the video? Great upload!
Disney killed Star Wars
Said no one same ever
@@legovideosrock
well after that piece if shit Last Jedi that's the opinion of a lot of Star Wars fans (even people who liked Rehash Awakens)
I actually like the sequel films, unlike many, but it is disappointing that they basically discarded everything that the heroes won in the original trilogy just to make the conflict a rehash of an evil empire (First Order) against a rag-tag rebellion (Resistance) again. I know that some of the spin-off books have tried to explain the origin of the conflict, but it makes no sense that it should have been up to a tiny Resistance to oppose the First Order while the New Republic, the official dominant power in the galaxy, did nothing and then was totally defeated by one shot from Starkiller base.
Say what you will about the prequels or the old Legends material, but at least they told completely different stories than the original trilogy and allowed for real changed in the status quo of the galaxy, not just the same conflict with different names.
Where is this music from?
RedCaio sounds like the rogue squadron games
Rebel strike.
The First order felt like the resistance than the actual Resistance. And it makes more sense too, since they're remnants of the empire
but they have “people” that overwhelming palptine army
“400 men on three ships.” -Vice Admiral Holdo
Can you explain why the New Republic after the death of Palpatine lasted 20 years versus thousand year Old Republic? :) like
It would have been awesome to see the new republic fleet vs the first order IF the new republic hadn’t demilitarised. That was kind of dumb, because they probably knew that some of the officers from the galactic empire flew to the unknown regions and that they maybe would return.Fun to speculate.
Nice video by the way!
The rebal alliance would distory the first order if it was still here
The Rebels would be more of a threat, of course but the First Order would still be stronger. I'm putting out a new video of the Empire vs First Order today you should check out
ok
I dunno. The Rebels barely managed to fend off the Empire until the events of Rogue One with the Battle of Scarif, which they got extremely lucky with along with their other battles leading up to Return of the Jedi.
Don't forget that it's been 30 years in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, so the First Order has better technology, weapons, ships, etc. They maybe smaller than the Empire, but the First Order makes it up in quality over quantity.
ya your problably right
Not hard to figure out. Rebellion is an group of systems that want to either split from or destroy the empire. Resistance is a group of systems resisting occupation by the first order.
Anybody else love the resistance theme?
Julio Garcia no
9:47 - I was going to comment this exact thing! the resistance being small, poorly funded, and using leftovers from its predecessor fits the story of the ST because the first order is essentially the same thing: a smaller, lesser funded organization that uses leftovers from its predecessor. thematically, theyre balanced. i think the only thing i wish was different was the resistance insignia. i understand the outfits and machinery being the same, but the symbols couldve easily been changed to signify a new, different organization.
What’s the music Oo I love it
The Rebel Alliance had something to fight for, the Resistance was defending things that were already destroyed.
Oh, and the Rebel Alliance's victory actually mattered.
Well as you can see one has a circle the other dose not... simple
I hope what happens in ep.9 is while the resistance is rebuilding the rebellion, a few New Republic ships come to aid the resistance because they survived starkiller base, or they were on a mission.
That would make sense, only way I see the Resistance making any sort of comeback.
...
The rebel is some people who hate empire
The resistance is some people who hate First order
Right? :V
Well, yes, but by that logic, all factions are the same because the Republic were some people who didn't like the Sepratists, the Empire were some people who didn't like -the Rebellion- anyone, and the Jedi were some people who didn't like the Sith. If you break it down to that level, every faction is just people who don't like other people.
(Spoiler, You Have Been Warned)
In Star Wars The Rise Of Skywalker:
The Resistance completed tasks on whatever they call that giant sun planet thing. They gathered a tracking device from the Rebellion, as a factor of them being in the same faction, just a separate fragment. He states this, yet it was in 2017. How the Resistance formed in the end was that all the ships heard there call against Emperor Palpatine's New Order. This ultimately shows the galaxy has more backup than stated in this YT video. They had more troops, artillery, and Jedi due to Ben Solo.
The thousands of ships seen at the end of TROS weren’t part of the Resistance faction. They were just civilian ships who joined the fight at the very last minute. The Resistance didn’t even have a proper Capital ship during TROS.

Hey did you watch the last jedi yet? It is awesome you need to see it sylo!
LEMONS Patusky no it's not search it in Ur feelings u know it to be true
It was a weird choice to ditch the new Republic in favor of the Resistance. It would have made just as much sense to establish our heroes as regular Republic forces.
One is a replica of the other. Easy.
TH-camr: *makes video providing reasonable and valid explaination for a criticism of something in the new canon*
Commenter: *ignores everything actually said in the video* Lol bad writing SJW Jar Jar Abhrams
Everywhere I look.
What I would have wanted would be a Knights of the Old Republic setting where both the Republic and Sith are on Equal ground and fight each other like the Allies fought the Axis in WW2 instead of recycled the “good Guys are outnumbered by superior bad guys” crap. Could have gotten into deeper themes like interventionism and if the Republic would become a new empire through Oligarchy like the US is nowadays.
The difference is modern SJWs call themselves The Resistance in reference to Donald Trump and Disney wants to sell them merchandise.
Meh, I was always never a fan of the Resistance anyway. #TeamRebelAlliance here.
APOLOGIES IN ADVANCE ABOUT TO GO INTO RANT MODE
I guess this is why it's hard for me to get into Sequel trilogy content.
Prequels - You had the galactic republic who stood for democracy but was riddled with corruption and bureaucracy Then you had the CIS, planets that just wanted to be free and get away from the republic's corruption while being manipulated by Galactic Megacorporations who are being manipulated by the sith.
OG - There's the Galactic Empire, an evil empire that wants to rule the galaxy and will crush all those who oppose them under their boot. With the Rebel Alliance who are all these rebel cells coming together under one banner to fight against the Galactic Empire and restore democracy from Tyranny.
Yes the First Order and Resistance have their differences but they don't have enough aesthetic differences to help them stand on their own. The First Order feels like Galactic Empire BUT EVEN MORE NAZI, and The Resistance just feels like Rebel Alliance HD Redesign.
The Galactic Republic had aesthetics that look like they could EVOLVE into the Empire but also some elements here and there where the Rebel Alliance would carry off from them. And then my favorite the CIS, they had their own more unique aesthetic, they felt more rounded and alien which was fitting as alot of 'alien' races formed the CIS. The Galactic Republic and CIS feel like a reverse Empire and Rebels in the sense where the position of the Empire is in the Republic are the good guys while the position the Rebels are in the CIS are the bad guys. Like what George Lucas once said IT RHYMES.
Now we get into the First Order and Resistance..... Their aesthetics are almost the same. It feels like only 5 or so years passed, not 36 years. Now we look towards the time between Episode 3 and 4, it was 19 years right? The aesthetics of technology were vastly different, letting the prequels stand on it's own, comparing the two it feels like by the time of the Galactic Civil War, technology had advanced.
Let's play pretend here. Remove the Resistance here, we'll keep the First Order. If we had the New Republic instead, we can see how the Rebel Alliance advanced, we can see heirs of the alliances at full industrial and military support. This would make a new war by far more cinematic.
I'm one of the few people that likes Vice Admiral Holdo. I have a feeling why people don't like here, she's the vice admiral of the Resistance, a VERY VERY important person. She came in wearing a dress and purple hair. Before I get to my point let's take Mon Mothma here for a second, had pretty hair, wore a dress, she was a Rebel leader but didn't hold military ranking in a combative sense, I know I'm explaining that part poorly I'm sorry. Leia wore a dress and was all pretty but she didn't hold military ranking UNTIL Empire Strikes Back, by then she ditched her dress. Now back to the point, if Holdo had worn uniform and didn't have that purple hair I feel people would have liked her more.
I wonder if we will see more rebel and resistance vehicles in battlefront 2
The rebellion had a lot of clone wars hero’s and veterans and some elite imperials who defected which really helped
Ya those heavy bombers were limited because they were terrible and easy targets
imo resistance theme > rebel theme
Empire: you can’t just throw soldiers at the enemy to defeat us?!
Rebels: haha soldiers go BRRRRRRR.
Disney's fan-fiction sequel trilogy is so.... boring
In the Star Wars universe there is literally unlimited possibility to make new factions that are exciting, new and iconic.

I don't consider episode 7 & 8 canon, and neither do many of the fans. First was a ripoff of the 1977 original and the other politicized, post-modern / feminist bs.
