Lit How can Imperials be fascists...

The NR is supposed to control the Galaxy-losing the capital would be a terrible blow but it shouldn't destroy the NR entirely.

Though like I said they don't care about IU consistency or worldbuilding.

They want to emulate the OT.

 

IU, the New Republic is a much smaller body than the Republic. It's also only, like, twenty years old at its destruction, and significantly less tightly put together than something like the Empire or the Republic, with most of the actual NR fleet stationed above Hosnian Prime since the rest was demilitarized.

 

Mostly demilitarized? After a peace of 25 years?

With the fleet stationed literally in one place?

And isn't the NR supposed to be Galaxy spanning?

It literally makes no IU sense. Because they don't care about IU concerns.

 

Yup. It happened around 1 ABE following the Battle of Jakku. Mon Mothma wanted to focus less on the military and more on rebuilding, as well as making a show of reducing the military to avoid another Empire. There's still some military present, just not a ton.

Considering that one place is the location of the Senate, it makes sense.

Nope.

Because you're going off of false information and refuse to to independently look for correct information.

 

Hey, Hux said it was the Last Day of the Republic.

It's the last day.

"The FIRST ORDER reigns. Having decimated the peaceful Republic, Supreme Leader Snoke now deploys his merciless legions to seize military control of the galaxy."

I mean, really.

 

In-universe, I don't think it'll be that difficult to justify the First Order having defeated the New Republic. I'm predicting that the New Republic Senators which the First Order had compromised were off-planet when they eradicated Hosnian Prime. As such, combined with any Senator survivors sufficiently intimidated by the destructive power of Starkiller Base, it's entirely possible they completely surrendered the galaxy to their First Order masters.

A Marshal Petain situation.

 

Doesn't Before the Awakening state the NR occupied large swaths of space stretching from the Core to the Outer Rim?

 

The canon Galaxy seems like it is so much smaller than the legends(and even PT) Galaxy.

It doesn't feel that big honestly.

 

Yes, but compared to the Empire, it's much smaller.

"While a fraction the size of both the Galactic Republic and Empire, its egalitarian practices left many neighboring star systems on friendly terms with the new government."

You done? Or do you have more gripes with the New Canon you want to bring up?

 

I could write an epic poem rivaling the Iliand expressing all my gripes and frustrations.

And a lot of my criticisms are not just me harping-other people share them. In fact after TLJ I think more people share them.

 

People just have to admit that a lot of other people, now going slightly over 50% just aren't happy with the direction of Star Wars. TLJ has even made me appreciate LOTF and Denning.

 

Anger be now your song, Darth Invictus,
Abrams' anger, doomed and ruinous,
that caused the Litizens loss on bitter loss
and crowded great characters into the Legends label
leaving so many decanonized - carrion
for Filoni and Johnson; and the will of Kennedy was done.

"Oh so great a sorrow that such a love was lost. My heart was filled with sorrow and my mind with dread that my beloved EU was dead.

For on that spring day a beautiful thing died and my sorrow became forever unending and I grew sorrowful and bitter as my love was no more.

Oh requiem for the old eu how beautiful was thee, your grand history, mystery and glee. Your tales and tribulations, your joys and defeats, the wonder you inspired in me.

Oh how I loved thee and where has thee gone but into darkness and the void of memory."

 

For me, its not even so much that Legends is decanonized anymore. I've accepted it, and fanfiction may as well be a better continuation than what the nu management of Star Wars might have in mind. The issue is the New Canon fails to provide anything that's of consistent quality. It just has one-off gems like Bloodline and things that aren't 'too bad I guess' like Rogue One.

 

The NuCanon is firmly established at this point and I don't begrudge any kid that grows up watching the ST.

It's just not my Star Wars.

 

Haha sounds like someone trying to talk a buddy through a bad trip.

Get him back to his safety safe! Haha

The New Republic isn’t the United States; it’s the United Nations. Nuking New York and then invading the world with a secret hidden army of moon Nazis lead by a Magical Neo-Nazi would lead to the UN breaking apart too.

 

A neat little retcon would be that Villechem had been persuaded the First Order was a threat and had gathered the New Republic fleet for an invasion of the First Order.

 

All I hope for is that the New New Republic admits that the micro-military idea was stupid and builds up a proper force.

 

Total disarment of the galaxy is the best solution with only Jedi to protect!

 

But what about the next First Order? A couple saber jockies can't hold down a galaxy! The galaxy has to learn a lesson!
