Why did they call it the Resistance when the Rebel Alliance sounds cooler?

Zahn had it better

because she showed great strategic intellect in episode 4 when she sent the death star plans off to a random planet where they were sure to be stolen back by the empire or wiped by a third party before ever reaching the target, along with episde 5 when she decided to have the rebel navy flee into space directly at the imperial navy and also episode 6 when she was taken captive as PoW by a bunch of hatchimals

as you can see, her resume speaks for itself

Everyone was made a fucking general. You'd think general was just their word for officer. Lando, Han, Luke, fucking all of them generals. I best Leia was a general in Empire, she was basically in command.

why was it Resistance when New Republic existed? why didn't the New Republic had army?

they did but apparently all of it existed on one planet

This is a resistance, right?
iResist.

None of that shit makes any sense. The whole fight of the OT was to restore the Republic and democracy to the galaxy, killing the emperor and the Sith were side missions.

TFA basically makes it sound like it's two remnants duking it out over outer rim worlds, as if Coruscant doesn't fucking exist.

>tfw Zahn literally invented corsucant
>tfw disney wont acknowledge corsucant
will my boy johnson make star wars good again

the republic were all cucks, it was the EU without space america so they only had some random shitty planes with gay hispanic pilots

Filtered.

You'd think after Jakku, the New Republic would immediately start working with all of the manufacturers, like KDY, to start pumping out Republic ships to hunt down more remnants. If anything, the Republic has always been full retard because they've been threatened by like 4 Sith Empires and the Mandalorians.

Yeah all three minutes of her in the film
Quite the legacy
Dumb fucking feminists.

>a random planet
she new kenobi lived there

>Everyone was made a fucking general

'no'

because JJ and the other writers are hacks and George really was the brilliance behind Star Wars after all

resistance sounds more like their being oppressed

lurk more before attempting to use that meme again

The empire was and has always been a White supremacist group

This is pure autism

because calling her princess is misogynist in the current year

the only time luke was refereed by rank was in empire, he was commander skywalker..

After 30 years you would think she would at least be Queen

alderman went boom there's nothing to be queen of..

It's been more than 30 years and Charles is still a prince. His son might be king in the next 20 years though

Fair enough, but Han and Lando were both generals, Lando only after having been with the rebels for like a year.

she became queen in a new hope when the original death star destroyed her adoptive family along with alderaan

Lando was the ONLY black guy in the galaxy. It's called affirmative action

lando was administrator of bespin tho

he probably had a good enough resume

So they demoted her to general? Last I checked Queen is a higher rank

She would have been queen immediately after the destruction of Alderaan, although a queen with literally no subjects or land unless Alderaan had subjugated other planets in that system.

don't fucking correct me turbo nerd

There was that black x-wing pilot. Lando probably shot him.

she's queen of alderaan, general in the rebel alliance, and former galactic senator

different ranks in different heirarchies

She kind of did have a more important role in Rogue One than she did in A New Hope.

>black x-wing pilot
Is that from the remake when they replaced all the guns with walkie talkies?

it's spelled "knerd"

>being a general
>when all the important battles are in space

go admiral or go home

>A Princess is more powerful then a general.
>Her character has been called princess Leia since she first appeared on the screeen.
>JJ makes her a General for because he thinks he's being progressive by doing so when he's actually demoting her.
>Feminist try to femsplain to us fans on what to remember her by even though she has done nothing heroic besides hugging a stranger as a general.

Why can't the Trump admin just freaking start so we can get back to normalcy and get fucking identity politics out of entertainment.

>so we can get back to normalcy and get fucking identity politics out of entertainment
I hate to break it to you but this is the normal now

No there was always a black X-wing pilot and an Asian B-wing pilot in Jedi.

You realize it's possible to hold multiple titles, right?

It's convention to refer to someone by the highest title they hold, but queen of an exploded planet is arguably a lower title than general of a standing army.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_titles_and_honours_of_Queen_Elizabeth_II#Military_ranks

>an Asian B-wing pilot
Did he crash the B-wing?

Cocaine

But they still call the British royals by their royal title eventhough that country is a Muslim territory

So are they killing her character off in 8 or 9?

inb4 CG

Yes, he was depressed he got a B-wing and not an A-wing.

Well if he didn't crash it his father would have killed him

I have to wonder, if because it's so far in the future, and human races are still distinct, there must be entire worlds of those distinct races. Like colony/seed ships of different human tribes, Corellia being an example of white humans.

According to the writers the Empire is the last of a white supremacist group being destroyed by a group of multiculrtural heros

Maybe there aren't that many surviving people from the old Rebellion?
In real life don't people get positions of power from reputation or connections alone? Its not insanely incomprehensible.

What is to me is 51000 people liked this tweet, it wasn't even funny or interesting. Goddamn Twitter is cancer.

'No'

>he thinks the british princes were called "prince" while they were serving in afghanistan

No their Muslim masters called them slave

for nostalgia

She was supposed to be the new emperor but they didn't want to upset the status quo.
That's why its still empire vs rebels 30 years later.

but the empire was the most inclusive of them all

It's funny and interesting to liberals. She used to be damsel in distress and throwaway love interest: the character, and now she's a strong independent lady in a position of power, leading and ordering men around! So important!

>women
>minorities

compare that to the rebels

>nd now she's a strong independent lady in a position of powe
No she's dead

She went from "Princess" in OT to "Senator" in time between OT and nu-trilogy. In the Bloodlines novel, she and her friends discover what the First Order is up to and decide to break from the New Republic in order to counter the growing threat before it gets out of hand (which it still does). It's at that time where Leia quits being a Senator and becomes "General".

She was a Jedi first.

JJ showed he cared nothing of her character to make her a shitty background character. She had no affect on the plot.

She was the "damsel in distress" up until they actually rescued her, then she took charge and helped fight out of the Death Star. She fought in Cloud City and Endor too, and was always a vital part of Rebel Alliance.

cause she said the the ion cannon will fire several shots to make sure that any enemy ships will be out of your flight path

She was unknowingly using the Force to gain influence. Just like Luke was unknowingly using it to Bullseye womp rats in his T16 back home; they're not much bigger than 2 meters.

>Let me further the feminist agenda by pretending I cared about this glorified cameo.

yeah seeing a botoxed slurring granny was way more important than seeing a badass action princess.

Women. Never once.

3 years go by before they rescue Han.

A modest kekkle.

>In the Bloodlines novel

what are you doing you idiot?

It is canon and a good read. Better than Cuck Wendig's crap, but not as good as Lost Stars. There's scarce info about what happened in between VI and VII, gotta take what we can for now.

>It is canon
no it's not. the only things that have ever and will ever matter are the movies. go be an autist elsewhere haha idiot.

>falling for the EU meme

hahahaha you did it TWICE

If Han could go from smuggler to General in 3 years then anything's possible.

*force grabs light saber*

WE AIN'T FOUND SHIT

Han solo was a general in ROTJ despite not being part of the attack on the death star until the last minute and fucked off from hoth when he was a captain, and he didn't do anything with the rebellion for two years as he was frozen.

Because J.J. is an absolute fucking hack without a single original bone in his kike body

Hi JJ

Not true. There's 2 black guys in jabbas palace.
1 is a patron and 1 is a guard.

Actually. There's 3 if we add Lando.

DIGITS OF TRUTH

So on the same level as george lucas, if not slightly higher because hes able to delegate without crippling asspain?

the bigger questions is why is the New Republic military consists of only 2 squadrons of x-wings?

way to go Spartacus

Not surprising considering his entire current career is based on

A. Being the only director dickless enough to let Tom Cruise boss him around when multiple others had bailed on MI3

& B. Being the only established director dickless enough to let Disney boss him around when literally every other big name director in Hollywood had already said no to directing TFA.

because she had a vagina

>muh hero
She got to her position by being born into royalty (or adopter, you autists) and then she got to be a general because her brother and husband were actual war heroes.

#feminism

Apparently a few years clean and sober doesn't make up for a lifetime of drug abuse.

star wars lore is going through what world of warcraft and the expanded universe did

it'll get so convoluted and stupid everyone will stop giving a shit

and most of all: milked out

we're riding the first waves of the milking, but be assured Disney will squeeze every last drop of the juice out in search for constant higher highes for audiences, simultaneously ruining all that came before

Because (((feminism))) has made "princess" a bad word

Leia pretty much decides people's ranks so...

Plus, Han was instrumental in destroying the Death Star and saving Leia.

General is just an arbitrary rank you get from having connections. It's like old school military where the royals were concerned. Not what you know, but who you know. The same way you had like 15 year old Generals "commanding" armies of 30-40 year old vets in real life is how you get "General Organa" or "General Solo".

i wonder if we're ever going to find out if she did a little bump before the flight

>arguing over Star Wars

>Disney shit

>arguing over a barfed-up creation "written" by a team of 20 something UCLA Berkley graduates

>giving a fuck at all about Star Wars in 2017-1

Stop it.

>leia, the only way you're going to be a general is if you make your own army

>makes her own army

>its so worthless and incompetent it causes the destruction of the republic

Wasn't she a tactician during the battle of Hoth?

Wait was it explained how she knew about Obi Wan? Who told her?
