>another Star Shit thread

How did the Republic become the Resistance? Did they ever explain that?

U did watch TFA right ?

It is clearly said there that resistance is compromised from former members of the new republic navy.

To add on this
>Literally no one wants to help the resistance

So how are they gonna account for carrie fisher's death in IX when leia survived TLJ?

>movie starts with the Republic army reduced to a total of 4 capital ships

Nigga just give up at that point. The rebels had more fucking ships in ROTJ.

We will see CGI Leia die off force cancer

was it cgi leia again?

the Republic disbands 90% of their forces for some retarded reason I forgot

Rey should have joined up with Kylo and made peace between the factions. If these movies had any basis in reality, the only way this would end is with a massacre of the remaining resistance.

>Star Wars stories that are not Old Republic
Die, die DIE

Fisher was still under contract for 3 movies regardless
So if anything this new trilogy is a huge metaphor with her death being just a soulless CGI abomination

To be fair, it will be a fair and even fight in the next movie. The Resistance, speak MaREY Sue and 20 People & One Ship against the First Order were now the two most incompetent members of the faction are in charge.

Why would you disband your fucking military. Have they learnt nothing? New republic is prequel tier retarded.

I just hate how they have a hard on with destroying every new First Order ship in the same movie its introduced. How much more are they gonna just be able to pull out of their asses? We still have no idea how the FO is able to afford all this shit.
Oh cool they have a new starkiller base, that must be their flagship, Oh DESTROYED
Oh cool they have a dreadnought that must be their flagship, OH DESTROYED.
Oh cool thats Snokes ship that must be their "final boss", OH DESTROYED. Sick. Whats next? This trilogy is so stupid. Not to mention the dozens of star destroyers

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Military_Disarmament_Act

After the Battle of Jakku, the New Republic let by Chancellor Mon Mothma agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war.

Leia was one of the few people who objected, so she was ostracized as Darth Vader's daughter and expelled from the Senate, which is why the entire Resistance was a handful of antiquated ships she bought with her own money. Everyone in the Republic thought she was anything from a lunatic to a terrorist for her constant ranting about the Empire still being a threat.

Yes no need to explain it further. It's just retarded.

>Mon Mothma agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war.

That's why the SW Galaxy needs to be run by an Empire.

>Literally no one wants to help the resistance
Kek. That was the best moment from that trainwreck. The only thing to redeem all of it would be to end with a full very bad ending in IX, only possible way... and since we know it won't happen... feminists republic will win thanks to most powerful mary sue ever and more plot holes.

Oh yeah and more kids they'll try to brainwash like that stabble guy. Too bad it should normally take years tho.

>agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war
This is peak Trudeau logic

When I first saw the film, I didn't really understand Vice Admiral Holdo. She doesn't share critical elements of her plan with other high ranking officers in the Rebellion, leading them to lose faith in her and stage a mutiny. Worse - the film treated the mutineers as if they were being unreasonable for not following a plan that, in their understanding, was suicidal.

Then I realized that this is how women view leadership: merely the right to make decisions without any responsibilities. Whereas the masculine ideal of a leader is someone who both has the authority to command but also the obligation to demonstrate to his inferiors that he is worthy of that authority, women - who historically have had smalls role in leadership - consider it a oneway affair. This is exacerbated by 2nd and 3rd wave feminism, which encourage women to take leadership roles while also removing the consequences from failing to meet the responsibilities associated with masculine leadership.

In their eyes, Holdo didn't need to share her plan with her command team because the rules said that she was in charge and was the ultimate arbiter of who knew what. The idea that members of her command staff (mostly male, or at least led by Poe - a masculine archetype) would show agency of their own and push back against confusing or erractic commands is foreign to the female mind. "How could these men attack this strong woman in charge?" They cry - as though merely fulfilling one's legal obligations is a virtue in of itself. And the film's writers pat these women on the head by vindicating their obedience with a deus ex machina.

The only good news is that the suicidal overconfidence that films like this engender in women is easily overcome by masculine virtues, when men are willing to exercise them. As the world continues to decline, the gap between women's expectations for the outcomes of their behavior and reality will become more clear - fueling the eventual victory of reaction and traditionalism.

>Take two of these every three hours.

They should have had her fade away with Luke, that would solve their whole Dead Carrie problem.

that sounds like absolute garbage

I could totally see Lando and whatever faction he's involved with now showing up to answer that call they sent out.

>disband the military so there could never be another war

>get attacked by foreign army
>disband your army

I mean this is exactly what women would do so I can’t be fully angry

I warned you about Republics man

I told you bro

kek

>disband your army so there are no more wars

Brilliant! Why didn't no one ever think of that before?

>agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war

maybe I'm wrong, but aren't all of the wars (shown in the movies at least) started/instigated by a sith? it doesn't really matter if there's an army to fight, since it's not their decision. it's whether or not there's a sith who wants to start a war. it'd be like disbanding your army after you defeat ISIS, because "we don't want another war", completely ignoring the fact that ISIS is the one who started the war to begin with*

*libcucks need not reply

stop, my invincible padawan

Sheev was the real hero all along, damn

that's what happens when you put women in charge

The Republic did not become the Resistance, the Rebellion became the Resistance. The Republic was restored after ROTJ, but got its shit kicked in by the First Order (a remnant of the Empire) in TFA.

Ah yeah lando, and well why not a deus ex ROTK jedi ghost army now that they can do anything. That is going to be one hell of a marvel shitshow.

>Leia was one of the few people who objected, so she was ostracized as Darth Vader's daughter

Meanwhile, Luke is some kind of legend kids look up to. Epic.

I fucking hate Soy wars.

This is more like disbanding your army after winning one battle against ISIS

I'm sure some did. They went away.

What they should have done

>no starkiller at all
>First order uses stealth and trickery
>Scene: Leia gives short passionate speech to the senate about dangers of the first order. Senators consider her a relic of the war and are all shown as gluttonous morons. They complain that she has her own "militia" (aka the resistance) and vow to debate whether they should disband it.
>next scene: Snoke gives out order and we get scenes of all the leaders of the Senate being assassinated and a huge bomb goes off at the Senate building. They are all dead.

Now you could even do this in the opening title scrawl if you wanted.

You now have set up the first order as a desperate but highly organised and zealous group of empire remnants. The republic is shown as greedy, ineffectual and easily overthrown.

That would be a 1000% better start to the new franchise.

No see she's right. Because if they have no army then they there won't be any war because the enemy will just instantly win because there's the defense by the Republic. They are technically right, but all it means is they can be conquered at any time and enslaved by half a dozen people if they really wanted to. It's woman logic.

Yea, in some book, lmao

Why the fuck would he do that last bit?

In your idea they're all sneaky, and he is very close to having the resistance legally disbanded. If anything he should influence them more.

>tfw fanfiction is better than this retardead shit

I think this is one of the biggest reasons why I don't care or like the new Star Wars movies (aside from the MUH FEMALE LEADS)

shitty backstories and logic resulting in a new villain, just for the sake of a plot. obviously the movies wouldn't exist without some kind of issue, but there must've been a better way than them straight up disbanding

And she didn't tell just any resistance soldier to fuck off, she told Poe Dameron to fuck off. The same Poe Dameron who is the best pilot in the resistance, recovered the secret location of Skywalker, escaped the FO with Finn, took on a star destroyer alone, backed up the heroes on Takodana, and blew up the starkiller base with his x wing. All in like a weeks time. He is, so far, the baddest dude in the new cast. Rey can't hold a fucking candle to this guy.

But apparently he isn't supposed to know what Holdo was up to.

What a contrived plot. Could you imagine if they kept the death star weak point a secret from luke, so he goes on a trip to find a way to beat the death star in time, only for them to blow it up anyway? That was basically the entire Finn and Rose subplot. Just hamfisted writing.

>more senate scenes and politics

go to bed george

The senate scenes were goat bro.

How do the writers reconcile the slaughter of these helpless pacifists with the fact that they share their viewpoints and see them as heroes in a utopia?

Because the whole thing is like a right wing satire but there's no satire there, they mean it.

>people complained about politics in the prequels so we're just going to take out all exposition that would have explained how the galaxy got in the state we find it

Go to bed Disney.

Literally this

Leia's character could have been based as fuck this trilogy

>when you're left wing but you're too dumb to realize you wrote something that reads like conservative satire of being a dumbass liberal

I thought it was because Snoke owned a bunch of casinos?

Or something. I haven't actually seen the movie, nor do I plan to. The idea that they somehow had the funds and resources to turn an entire planet into a gun and still somehow haven't taken over the galaxy is stupid.

>le 56% attention span

> all exposition that would have explained how the galaxy got in the state we find it

That's what opening crawl is for George. You should have listened to smart people around you and you wouldn't have to sell your franchise out of embarrassment.

Does the novels ever explain how in the world the First Order finds the manpower and the funds to create tons of weapons more gigantic and powerful than what the Empire used to have ?

That's what happens when your leader is a strong wymyn.

compromised indeed

This has to be the most fucking retarded reasoning I ever heard.
If I disband my army without making sure my enemy also disbands their, that means no more wars.
No fucking shit. They will just run over you.

why didnt they just hyperspace to the New Republics fleet and join forces
I mean the First Order just declared war on the republic by fucking blowing up their capital
and without starkiller base they had literally no reason to not join forces

>disbanding your army
>while the guys that just blew up three fucking planets are still running around

I am so angry

she is technically correct, the best kind of correct

I suppose you could read the casino bit as implying that the capitalists who own the casino had a hand in funding the FO and starting the war but that's all speculation at this point. But if that's not the meaning of the particular subplot then it just seems like a pointless waste of screentime.

That was clearly implied

>disband their military so there could never be another war.
why dont we just disband sex so there can never be another rape?

why didn't they just hyperspace the eagles into the ring

But at this point isn't the New Order the new resistance?

>agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war

What the fuck is this? I thought the New Republic just didn't see the First Order as a threat anymore or something. Granted even that would've been pretty stupid, but
>After the Battle of Jakku, the New Republic let by Chancellor Mon Mothma agreed to disband their military so there could never be another war.
Jesus fucking Christ.

Childhood is when you idolize the Rebellion. Adulthood is when you realize the Empire made more sense.

You know that's not an original idea

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Dworkin

that is literally what liberals want these days

space Sweden basically

But it's brilliant. Making fun of left-wing pacifist hippies. If I didn't know better I could be tricked into thinking there are Objectivists writing his stuff but it's probably just a Freudian slip from the writers.

That's not even the worst of it. Apparently no one in the history of the SW universe UNTIL THIS MOVIE ever thought of attaching hyperdrives to suicide ships and simply targeting enemies that would have no ability to dodge or detect these weapons in time before they slammed into them.

reblogged

Disney will start Dead People Lives Matter campaign and use CGI Fisher as poster for it.

>there can't be war if we don't put up a fight
Good thinking

Why even build a death star. Just throw capital ships at planets.

> there could never be another war.

>Rey did I ever tell you how the New Republics Chancellor Mon Mothma disbanded the military because she thought thered never be another Star Wars.
>yeah turns out that was retarded
>She was a good friend

They were trying to prove that they weren't just another Empire. Same reason they rotated their capitol instead of just ruling from Coruscant...not that it helped them

Yes, but they really wanted to keep that OT status quo with underdog heroes against a powerful evil empire, logic be damned.

Yeah, I'm trying to place myself in this train of thought and this is the best I can do

>militaries are evil
>so the good guys got rid of their military
>of course the bad guys still have a military because they're evil

>"um... doesn't that mean the bad guys will win?"

>WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, WHY ARE YOU CHEERING FOR THE BAD GUYS?!

Like I'm trying to not do a "nom nom nom look at me eating shit" strawman here and it's the best I can come up with. It could work if everybody in existence was a pacifist and they all got rid of their militaries.

>women in charge of things

Neville was based

I thought the same thing.
>wait a minute, why doesn't everyone just use unmanned kamikaze ships then

Since no one in an entire galaxy of trillions of people would ever consider actually starting a war except for the two Sith Lords, it's not surprising there haven't been many advances in military tactics.

Apparently there are no muslims in SW.

Yeah, could of been Star War's version of Sarah Connor

starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sha'a_Gi

That's literally their train of thought. Think about how coincidentally it matches up with the left wing's obsession with confiscating and outlawing firearm possession from law abiding people.

There are actual canonical ships that prevent nearby dudes from jumping to hyperspace
there just never used in the films because the writers are hacks
