taloob Gaming Lol, is it even that many? Also how will they change that in the next, AND FINAL MOVIE? The next movie will have to have a time jump unless the plot of the movie is them recruiting worlds to fight.

Jordan Gustafson it's kinda like how in tfa the resistance is a well organized and actually effective fighting force and then in tlj they were just a few transports worth that could fit in one cruiser and two support ships

Did you even listen to the movie? They had allies at the outer rim.

Spongegar Yeah, but those 'allies' didn't come for help at Crait, where the resistance was having its last stand.

OronaminC BAT they where likely trying to re-organize after their main government has been disorganized and where unable to help, we’ll see in ep9

JJ Abrams Sequel Trilogy in a nutshell

Yeah, that is exactly why I hate the Sequels Trilogy so much.

It was already massive compared to the Resistance you see in TFA. The remaining Resistance at the end of TLJ is just merely a joke at that point.

It's crazy how the entire Resistance went from around 1000 people and an entire starfleet at the time of the Battle of Starkiller Base, to 400 during the First Order's chase across the Galaxy, to around 30 survivors on a battered Corellian freighter after Crait. They are also similar to the Rebel Alliance when you look surface level, but when you dig deeper, you realise they are not a coalition made up of different planetary governments and unified rebel cells, more just a cheap, underfunded guerrilla-warfare militia group that's supposed to take the place of the New Republic's army.

they might as well give up leia needs to accept that her private army is toast.

You know what I'd like to see? If the resistance reactivated the separatist army and used them against the first order

Josh G. That would make the new films way better, although there is probably nothing left of CIS army except for rust

NSL black they could have found hidden Droid factories. That way you could rebuild a large army, but you will need resources. They could have resources left in the bases. Or have nations send materials.

You are right, but I never said the whole Resistance was on the Millennium Falcon. Also no one responded to her distress call so those other groups are probably reluctant to help.

Plus has direct support from the deposed government. The Resistance has little to no support from the Republic.

Not to mention actual wealthy planets like Alderaan supporting the Rebellion. Resistance had no one and TLJ showed exactly what the rest of the galaxy thought of them.

Alex Wiggins Long live the empire

I believe that was the point. They have no support from other leaders that could finance them for supplies, weapons and ships. They were so small compared to both the Rebellion AND the First Order which makes their victory in TROS a lot more impactful when everyone rose up to fight back

@@JeanLucCaptain yeah since the new republic had an actual armed forces (even if it sucked), ressistance is just a private army

Lmao

lol

-wow that was very stupid of you-

Eww I don't want join resistance

The thing is, though, the New Republic weren't being attacked. A lot of the Senators had grown complacent with the fall of the Empire, and didn't see the First Order as a threat because, well, they didn't want to. The few that did see the writing on the walls were fighting a losing battle in the Senate, which lead to some of them, chief among them Leia, after her political career was ruined by the revelation that she was Darth Vader's daughter, formed the Resistance. They were only able to get token funding from the New Republic (For example, their flagship, the Raddus, was only given to them because the New Republic was about to decommission it), however, and even though they might've been starting to come around to the idea that another war was imminent in the end, the revelation evidently came too late. Hopefully Episode IX has the Resistance link up with whatever remnants there are of the New Republic navy, and bring them into the Resistance for the final fight.

True

Jordan Gustafson well not really, the rebel’s became the new republic, but because of the new republics inability to decide to use their military, the resistance was formed for defence, because even though the new republic has control of every old rebel military force vehicle and weapon, they were so split and took so long to decide there was no point to use that as an actual military. So it’s more like rebels became new republic, new republic became too powerful for their own good, resistance was formed, then new republic was decimated.

Guess we'll never get any New Republic action....

Sort of. The backstory between RoTJ and TFA is covered in the books and comics. I understand why they didn't bother explaining in Episode 7 and 8, but I think there's some legit and believable reasoning. To elaborate more on the comment by Mastechno Techman. Both the Rebels and Empire were severely weakened due to the aftermath of the Battle of Jakku. Both sides saw heavy losses. The Empire was split into multiple Imperial remnants ran by different officers much like how there were individual Rebel cells before they all came together to form the Rebel Alliance. Eventually some of the Imperial remnants agreed to the Galactic Concordance and Military Disarmament. In short, the Galactic Concordance was a peace treaty that ended the Galactic Civil War while the Military Disarmament was a law passed by the New Republic that severely limited the operations and size of the New Republic's military by 90%, so the New Republic's military was more of a defense force. They did this to show an effort and apply what they preached, which was showing the values of democracy, peace, and showing good faith towards the Imperial star systems and planets. This obviously backfired because not every Imperial remnant cells agreed to this. The ones that disagreed managed to escape to the Unknown Regions of space, which allowed them decades of time to prepare for another war. They eventually became the First Order. The reason why the First Order got so powerful was because of corruption in the New Republic and underground business deals, which companies built weapons, ships, etc for the First Order. A lot of star systems and planets that were loyal to the Galactic Empire remained loyal to the First Order. By the time the First Order started to become public, it was too late. The New Republic was too divided and corrupt to do anything, so Leia and a few others had to form the Resistance. The Resistance, like stated in this video, was smaller than the Rebels.

JDM408 wow, nice job. This makes sense, but personally I think that concept is kind of dumb. The fact that the republic survived the Clone Wars and the Galactic Civil War yet were not able to come up with a working system.

Jordan Gustafson The Republic from the Clone Wars is different from the New Republic after the Galactic Civil War. The Republic in the Clone Wars did not survive. It was destroyed by the Empire. The New Republic was formed after that peace treaty but also failed and the First Order destroyed it. You can also see that one has "New" in it and one does not showing that they are from different eras.

Angel Galvez F*ckingclever

This is a resistance, isn't it? I resist.

I’m a ganuis

Angel Galvez it was kind of obvious so "I use common sense" is a better way of saying it.

Dieplop3 r/madlads

Literally the same thing I wanted to comment

Idk men, Those helmets are pretty cool...

I find those helmets better than the Rebel Marine helmet. But I gotta agreed that the Rebel Alliance have better looking helmets. Rogue One even have the Rebels wearing helmets resembles the M1 helmet

Casanova Frankenstein hahahaha nice reference to the last jedi

@@thitran1362 they use an actual ww2 surplus helmet for the props

You want this to be like the Prequels, with their boring political talks?

Darth Vader I think the opposite, i find the political talks interesting, like something going on in the background that could be useful info when put together

Rev BladeZ I guess I agree, but like, damn. We should have gotten something our of the New Republic. Maybe a massive civil war between them. One faction is going crazy over the possibility of the Republic turning into the Empire again, and choosing to have just a small defense force, because a large military is where it all started. A new Old Republic. Another believing the Empire (First Order) is rising in the Unknown Regions, and they need an army to defend themselves. The Resistance. Another is a pacifist side, that wants no army, and wants to solve everything with peace. The actual New Republic. Another is imperialistic, and believes that an army is the only way to bring order to the galaxy. A new Empire. And the last is a group of people that are tired of the corruption of the Republic, Empire, and now the New Republic, and want to split and solve this problem themselves. A new CIS-like faction. And they all just end up creating 5 armies and just start shooting at eachother. But Episode 7 came and shattered all of that.

To be fair, the authors had to come up with something to explain the state of the Star Wars world created by JJ Abrams.

Extended universe did this, a lot. Boring and old hat if you ask me.

Richard J Stuart The New Republic didn't want to fight a war, they passed the military disarmament act after all, that's why the resistance is there, to fight the threat posed by the First Order, the same threat the republic were ignoring. And only a part of the Republic was destroyed after all.

After the battle of Jakku the New Republic reduced his military drastically, so most of the Republic fleet was in the hosnian system.

Yes that's the official party line. Stop and actually think about that. You are trying to govern an entire galaxy and yet you have your ENTIRE star fleet in one solar system?! No navy in the history of the known universe has ever been in that situation. Pearl Harbor is about the most devastating loss for a fleet in history, yet their were ships defending the East Coast, there were ships on maneuvers, there was a ship being refitted in the state of Washington. By the very nature of the need to have some sort of coast guard in the Galactic Republic you could not possibly concentrate your starfleet to that extent in the imperial capital. Was the new Republic completely unaware of the New Order? Did they really deploy ZERO ships to the boarder? You're not just talking 'we have cut the defense' budget here. You are talking about incompetence on an amazingly epic and totally unbelievable scale.

Disney logic... Plot demanded the collapse of NR, so they made up this excuse of demilitarization and infighting within the Senate. Meanwhile Snoke Ex Machina conveniently created the FO.

Well I don’t think that the entire fleet was in one place, also I’m pretty sure the new republic was more like a confederacy with each planet having their own army to use as its primary defense. The NR army was probably just there to stop pirates and small scale terrorists. And they may have demilitarized because after the empire was gone there was no large scale threat. Their military is just like that if the republic before the clones. Of course that’s just my speculation

I agree with that statement.

SYLO: Star Wars you forgot to mention their B wings in the last jedi

SYLO: Star Wars I miss Carrie Fisher 😭😢😵😷

SYLO: Star Wars hey nice video may I act what game those Starwars rebellions Scenes come from? It's haunting me

Lord Floyd Agreed. Though I would’ve preferred they not kill of the New Republic and have two large galactic factions instead of ripping of the galactic civil war

And with the events of The Last Jedi, they're Rebels again, lol.

JDM408 That's the problem I have with the Last Jedi, why did we go through the Resistence if they were just going to change it. The last Jedi made the Force Awakens look like it's only purpose was to introduce characters. Now we only have 1 film left, and we are not really that far into this story that will just change with ANOTHER director who should have done all of them in the first place.

Lord Floyd I completely agree with you the republic had a peace keepers in the prequel which was the Jedi. But any large government and organizations such as U.N have peace keeping groups. Then what’s keeping the government together

if you think about it the resistance is literally a bunch of people old lady leia hired to try and cause a another major war between the first order and new republic. I mean this is just a private organisation with fancy toys going into some else's area of control and trying to topple them. different from the rebels trying to overthrow the evil government oppressing them and there people.

Check my pinned comment. This video was made before the updated canon regarding the First Order numbers. The Sequel Trilogy canon is always in constant update and Lucasfilm corrected that after they realized how silly only ten thousand troops was. Check my Empire vs First Order video for more detailed information + my latest First Order Invasion video on how they have yet to really conquer the galaxy.

the new order was wiped out

@@2saw what new order

@@jedimaster0667 after the galactic civil war the new order was founded i think

@@2saw I thought it was the new republic

@@jedimaster0667 rip my mistake xd i typed the wrong thing

Thanks!

jimmy tran did yo-....... *Did you just talk to your self?*

David wow

David oh wait no, his comment got a heart

@@WildRage_ lol

Near the end of The Last Jedi, they made it clear that their so called allies in the Outer Rims received their distress call for help, but didn't do anything. I think a portion of Episode 9 will be the Resistance/Rebels trying to unite various planets to their cause again.

Both films are crap. The Force Awakens was BAD but the Last Jedi is even worse...

Just Awsome i agree the Force Awakens was *bad* but at least it could have given "good" continuation but fucking damn The Last Jedi didnt give a satisfactory continuation to everything

gabigabgabzzz Why would you continue something that was “bad”? Besides that, why make an incomplete film that needed a sequel to explain itself?

That unironically sounds amazing tbh

That's actually pretty badass

Maybe i will write a fanfiction about my comment and read it on my channel

Li'o the noob of everything 💥🔫 *_(thud)_*

It's probably sad that, that is a better story then episode 8. Beware though Disney will kill anyone who mentions prequel lore.

soulreaper453 sooooo it’s good?

the amount of passive-agressiveness here would be enough to angrily butter a piece of toast jfc

killer dog yes very good

Squeaky Boi what? No I was saying his videos are great

Andres the *Resistance* is a small faction of the *New Repubic* which is basically the new name of the *Rebel Alliance*

They literally called themselves the Rebels in the end of the movie

In TLJ? Yes because First Order now rules the galaxy, so they are no longer on deffensive, but needs to switch to offensive, hence rebels.

Andres I call them "Rebel-Lite".

Well one was a movement to overthrow the tyrannical government, while the other is a splinter cell of the democratic government, volunteers, fighting off a war mongering remnant faction that grew too powerful

Nathaniel Brouwer you're asking to much from the Empi..I mean, Disney. Like if they would ACTUALLY not copy from the original trilogy or borrow things from the Legends canon.

There is yellow blaster fire in one of the trailers, where Kylo is killing people in a forest, so that may hint at mandalorians

"Act as parallels" I mean, I guess if you think ST destroying the point of the prophesy, making Han a dead beat dad and making Luke a coward..sure. Bunch of garbage, Disney couldn't manage to come up with anything original OR treat the OT with respect.

+Jonathan Haha, sorry your personal fanfic didn't come true. Sorry characters are flawed and not mini gods like in your special story

Can't really disagree with Oscar Isaac here. Basically, the Resistance rarely would enter skirmishes openly with the FO, unlike the Rebels whom were more open to that. Attacking Starkiller was not only the Resistance's first real push back against the FO, but also one that they really didn't have a choice in saying 'no' to.

SYLO: Star Wars Yeah, i guess you’re right. Thanks. Great video btw.

Blue if you're Dak.

these new movies are a waste of time

Well they're more like leia's private army to counter the first order. They're also one of the last force to combat the first order due to star-killer base wiping out core republic worlds and fleets. Though a movie about the new republic fleet vs the first order would've been more entertaining.

Then there’s TLJ. The Rebels were desperate, but not too desperate because of their supplies and funding. The Resistance was supported by the New Republic, but wasn’t too heavily armed until the First Order bared its teeth, firing Starkiller Base, and then the Resistance was just basically a few hundred men to a few thousand. See, the Resistance is not just a shameless ripoff of the Alliance!

B4ndoGor4 of course

B4ndoGor4 Also the x-wing novels

Ryan Dan the First Order gained it’s power in The Unknown Regions, far away from the New Republic’s eyes. By the time the First Order was made public, they were far more powerful than anyone knew. The New Republic believed they weren’t a threat, so they didn’t fight back, even though they did fund the Resistance.

RedCaio sounds like the rogue squadron games

Rebel strike.

The Rebels would be more of a threat, of course but the First Order would still be stronger. I'm putting out a new video of the Empire vs First Order today you should check out

ok

I dunno. The Rebels barely managed to fend off the Empire until the events of Rogue One with the Battle of Scarif, which they got extremely lucky with along with their other battles leading up to Return of the Jedi. Don't forget that it's been 30 years in between Return of the Jedi and The Force Awakens, so the First Order has better technology, weapons, ships, etc. They maybe smaller than the Empire, but the First Order makes it up in quality over quantity.

ya your problably right

Julio Garcia no

Der Kaylon yup

True and they use fan service to shut up the fans..

Der Kaylon you think

Josh Hearn The plot is the same, the characters are different

Der Kaylon And they plagiarized the best parts of Legends. Nothing Disney has made is original.

Said no one same ever

@@legovideosrock well after that piece if shit Last Jedi that's the opinion of a lot of Star Wars fans (even people who liked Rehash Awakens)

That would make sense, only way I see the Resistance making any sort of comeback.

Well, yes, but by that logic, all factions are the same because the Republic were some people who didn't like the Sepratists, the Empire were some people who didn't like -the Rebellion- anyone, and the Jedi were some people who didn't like the Sith. If you break it down to that level, every faction is just people who don't like other people.

NotApplicable ok, but I still think that they replaced an interesting future for Star Wars with just the same story

LEMONS Patusky no it's not search it in Ur feelings u know it to be true
