“That all came out of conversations about what would have happened if the Nazis all went to Argentina but then started working together again?’” Abrams added. “What could be born of that? Could The First Order exist as a group that actually admired The Empire? Could the work of The Empire be seen as unfulfilled? And could [Darth] Vader be a martyr?"
This is what my comment was a out. They aren’t the Empire. So rising again to power doesn’t make sense.
These are fanatics who admire the Empire but are definitely different. They existed before during and after the Empire. They just never made their move until the Empire crumbled. So yes, they are very much like the Nazis.
Sorry Hal. Just wanted to explain why I would think that line on the crawl wouldn’t work for me.
