Most people do agree that the reasoning behind why they’re called the “Resistance” could have been better explained seeing as how the New Republic is supposed to be the dominant power at this time. I think your version probably does the most we can in as few words as possible. The politics behind it (half the Senate not taking the threat seriously or wanting to avoid war) we can probably leave to other content to explain. It’s pretty clear Dave Filoni was headed in that direction with Ahsoka’s first season.
We’re simply making it so that they’re known as the “Resistance” because they operate solely outside of New Republic borders, and their big secret is that they’re funded by the Senate.
