And the destruction of the Republic Fleet. That’s going to play a big role in the rest of the ST. I’m glad that it’s gone but at the very least it’s going to impact things in the future.It just seemed to me that blowing up the new republic and the entire fleet (like they would all just happen to be parked at that planet anyway) was just an excuse to go back to the way the OT was: a small band of people fighting a powerful enemy. We’re basically where we were at after ANH.
Kind of but not really. Sure The Resistance doesn’t have much but The First Order didn’t have nearly as much soldiers and weaponry as The Empire did and that was even before the destruction of Starkiller Base. If anything it’s more equal than it was in the OT.
