First post, so be gentle as I am familiar with the Star Wars expanded universe but not deep into it.

Hopefully someone here can tell me the answer to this.

In Episode VI the Empire starts to get taken out, and before Episode VII it is disbanded and the New Republic takes power. Wouldn’t the old Empire tech be under the control of the New Republic? And wouldn’t the Resistance have access to it?

I mean why would 30 years later the “good” guys and “bad” guys still have the same style of fighter?

I think what we should have seen in E-VII was the First Order using outdated Tie Fighters, (they are the fringe group now) and the Resistance using the newest best tech including the modern Tie Fighter.

I guess it would have been difficult to get fans to accept this idea, but it would have been kind of cool to see the Tech go from good guys, to bad guys, back to good guys, as it was cool to see the CloneTroopers as good guys in the prequels.
