They even retconned the living past 50 thing
The trade federation did take a lot of damage from the clone wars
And then got nationalized and resold to plutocrats
Well what else was going to happen to them? Anakin killed all the high ranking members
Palpatine had the perfect solution for those big-nosed Nemoidans
Nemoidians were literally Chinese
Watto was Jewish
Jar jar was black
Watto was a terrible Jew
he didn't subvert anything
constantly lost money
It’s like merchant of Venice
The Jew got outjewed
@DarthSammich What do you mean?
The clones still have accelerated aging. If they age at twice the rate, a Clone Trooper like say, Rex, would be biologically 72 by the battle of Endor, and chronologically in his 30s. Assuming clones are at least 20 by the time of the start of the Clone Wars.
The irony is that the companies that made up the CIS were only allowed to amass such large private armies because of the Republic's lack of willingness or ability to crack down on piracy.

So apparently the reason why the First Order took over the galaxy so quickly was that immediately after the Starkiller Base incident, half of the New Republic's member states seceded, and joined the First Order.
Really makes you question, then, how the Galatic Concordat even made it into law, if so many planets that would go on to form the New Republic actually liked the empire.
In legends, the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty stipulated that planets within both factions could switch sides at will, which makes sense, considering how many planets in the New Republic are absolute monarchies and would probably favor the direct rule of the Imperial Moffs, rather than attempting to find representation in a highly corrupt senate, in regards to Galactic matters.
yeah, that sounds like Galactic Cope
Disney is trying to make the lore AFTER the movies
trying to emulate what fans did after the OT
Hmm, yes. Also, The Resistance is a prviate army ran by Leia Organa. I mean, she's basically a war criminal.
Actually, most of the Rebellion are guilty of war crimes. They often used civilian ships and freighters for combat purposes. You don't see the empire doing that.
So, what they're saying is, Luke and Leia's dream, the Rebel Alliance's dream, of a restored Republic was, in fact, so *shit,* that *half* the member states would arbitrarily defect at the drop of a hat?
Further demonstrating the *only way* sequel SW can make sense, is by *undermining* the impact and triumph of the OT.
Well, Bloodline establishes that the senate is highly corrupt. Leia beleives they can't be saved, and starts the Resistance, which is even dumber, since at least the Rebels wanted to restore the Republic. The Resistance have the faintest idea of how they'll fill this power vacuum, just that they don't like the First Order, but Leia clearly has disdain for democracy as of Bloodline.
Right, so it was basically all pointless.
And the Resistance is just a cope
Because she has no end game.
Also, consider how small the Resistance is. Does anyone actually hate the First Order? They struggle to find allies at all, in TLJ, all of Leia's contacts fall through. The entire Resistance consists of how many people can fit in the Falcon by the end of that movie.
I haven't read Resistance Reborn. It's supposed to act as sort of a sequel to Bloodline, and Battlefront II's campaign DLC, sorta. Anyway, so Zay can't find anyone to help the Resistance, shocking, but they do find ex-Imperials willing to help.
Leia really has nothing in the way of principles. She neglected her own child, for a pointless career in a corrupt and highly ineffective Galactic senate, which all came crashing down after the secret of her parenthood was reveled by a rival, which is hardly something should could expect to keep secret for long.
Also Leia sent her son away to be taught and spied on by his religious fanatic uncle to make sure he dosen't turn evil thanks to his lonely and neglectful upbringing, since, after all, Luke is the only one who could possibly kill Ben if he turned to the darkside, and Leia knew this.
This culminates Luke attempting to kill Ben in his sleep, to which Ben retaliates. After the new Jedi Order is destroyed by Snoke with a bolt of lightning (this is what happened, seriously), Ben turns to emulating and seeing as a role model, Darth Vader, the father of his previous role model who tried to kill him, since he sees nothing in his callous and neglectful parents who had him put in the care of sombody who literally tried to kill him in his sleep.
