btw do you guys think that there should’ve been more scenes involving the Republic? I know there was one with Leia, but it was cut. Do you think more scenes would’ve improved TFA, adding to the background and making the Republic’s planet’s destruction more moving?
Absolutely. It would have been nice to The Republic’s initial response to the destruction of the Hosnian system . Perhaps The Republic could have in turn authorized the deployment of the Republic Fleet. We could have also been introduced to a character/s who are going to be clamoring over each other for power.
Also the lack of The Knights of Ren bugged me too.
