Y’all I’m wondering, since the destruction of the New Republic has hardly any bearing on the plots of TLJ & ROS, would cutting it entirely work? So like, they destroy SKB BEFORE it fires at all?
One of my biggest issues with the ST is the ways they undo story telling from the OT. The new republic they worked so hard to build? Gone. The emperor they killed? Been alive the WHOLE time.
Since SKB fires so late in this version anyway, it should be doable, right?
