Rebellion became Resistance, when J J Abrams decided, that he cant just copy same faction with the same name, so he changed the name, and thats about it.
Yeah, pretty much, sadly. So far, at least. If the next 2 movies are good and cover new ground, I'll forgive it. I'll see it as a necessary messed up first step to get it's bearings. But if Disney and JJ Abrams make the next 2 movies Remixes (half remake half sequel) I might lose faith in the franchise at large. The only way Disney could save itself is to make a series or show based on the cream of the EU Legends.
ACEnBEAKY Rian Johnson better imply that the Resistance is not actually the galaxy's primary military but that they are more of informants on the truth, and once enough information was provided the New Republic Military could then declare war on the first order. If not, then the series is fucked.
Thatperformer387, didnt you hear? New Republic Military was somehow completely destroyed after Starkiller base fired. How convenient, huh? No New Rebuplic, no army of the Republic - only rebels vs empire.... I mean, Resistance vs First Order.
So wait,... you NOW say you're losing faith in Star Wars? The Prequels didn't already do that for you?
@@ACEnBEAKY oh if only you could see the future
I love how generation tech isn't afraid to call out jj on his b.s. unlike other star wars youtubers
Yeah, many people suck Disney's and Abrams ass, while trying to play the card of "AT LEAST ITS NOT PREQUELS".
Because they're right. Its worse than the prequels. Its actually worse than the Holiday Special.
JJ only directed the force awakens, brian johnson directed the last Jedi and has work on another trilogy, overall, the situation is fine.
ok miguel lets settle down.
Greedo vs Han scene alone is way more cooler than their nonsense bombing scene in VIII
It would be rad if the Resistance used "hand me down" galactic republic tech from the prequel trilogy. Clone trooper tech perhaps that they find on abandoned outpost planets. Ergo, we get star destroyer vs star destroyer. AT-TEs vs AT-M6s. Maybe even use some separatist tech against the first order. It would be a neat way on tributing the prequels without being as terrible as they are.
I'll tell you how the Rebellion became the Resistance.
Ctrl C and Ctrl V. That's how. That is how J.J. Abrams and the other story writers turned the Rebellion into the Resistance.
If the New Republic stays around for awhile. Does it stay the New Republic or just the Republic?
It stays the New Republic, think of it like with the New Testament. It was written a few thousand years ago, but it's still "new".
I mean New York is Still called NEW York
TheMigMan3225 is there even an original York?
Entire Anarchy probably some place in old England
Entire Anarchy Yeah it in England.
"Ballsack McScrotumface" 😂
I have a good Question, how many people survived the second DeathStar?
I ask this because Luke somehow got Vader to the shuttle with out anyone trying to stop him. The only explanation I have for this is that an order was given to evacuate and the time between the Emperor's death and the explosion must of opened a small opportunity for people to use the shuttles, escape pods and tie fighters.
Joshua Dunford ......12. 12 other people survived.
Joshua Dunford I would say a few hundred to tens of thousands. No canon answer as of yet.
In the new battlefront campaign we can see how some destroyers were able to escape the battle too
Without counting Star Destroyers, 12 managed to escape the Death Star before it blew up.
Kristopher Shafer Well that and the dozens of alarms and everyone panicking might also make you feel like getting to the nearest Starfighter or shuttle
How I wish The REBELLION can turn to the NEW REPUBLIC .
Oh Wait they did..
THE NEW NEW REPUBLIC...i guess the new republic still on
yet the rebellion isn't actualy rebelling against anything
FIRST ORDER are the rebels
No open warfare... strange for an army who are plundering systems during 18 years at last..and kidnaping children to turn it into soldiers..
and creating a death star 3,0 from nowhere..
Even they destroy the new jedi temple..thats is why JAR JAR abrams sucks
Even if they signed a demilitarization act, the fact that the New Republic controls most of the known galaxy ensures that they should be able to rapidly remilitarize.
AssaultPlazma Actually not, why do you think the Clone Wars happened & Sidious was able to manipulate the war? The corrupt Old Republic needed a massive army in a short amount of time to deal with the Separatists & training enlistees takes time they didn't have, hence the clone army.
I highly doubt every last battle ready warship was scrapped. Also you underestimate the scale of production when you control most of the known galaxy.
The clones were just there to give the republic a solid foundation since they hand't fought a major war in centuries. The republic still could have remilitarized without the clones, just would taken much longer without a solid foundation of professional troops plus all the R&D needed to produce modern weapons of war. The new republic has both of these already.
AssaultPlazma Against the high number of battle droids the CIS had at the beginning? It would have done nothing more but stall their victory, it would have been a galaxy vs Reapers scenario (which was only won by the former thanks to Shepard. Without him/her the Reapers would have won easily) Soldiers & enlistees take time to train, battle droids can be mass produced in the thousands practically overnight. Millitias are good but when the CIS say fuck this & just 'Battle of Hypori' your ass no amount of local or system militia is going to save that planet. The CIS would have railroaded the Rebels in a war.
Wrong, by late war the Rebels were essentially a juggernaut like the British Army in 1918 or the Soviet Army in 1945. Such an army would have stomped the droids.
And having trillions of droids does not matter if the rebels have superior fleet.
The first order and resistance are the most unoriginal transformations ever
Dante Planeta, While I was hoping for the empire remnants or for the Vong to show up I was disappointed at the same plot I swear to god if the last Jedi is empire strikes back I'm done with Star wars.
At least rouge one was brilliant.
Lockjaw, Don't kick me while I'm down.
Paladin Boyd i mean technically it is the empire remnants
Martin Lee, Better than the force awakens.
@@paladinboyd1228so what do you think?
Isn't it great that the whole purpose behind the OT (besides the redemption of Anakin) was to defeat the Empire and restore the Republic, the rebel's full name is even Alliance to Restore the Republic, only for it to be destroyed in the next movie.
Steven Woods to be fairIt lasted about 30 years it’s just the next move is to be 30 years later😂
Steven Woods
YEAH!!!! Death to the Republic!
Its not a surpriae the republic was reinstalled 20 years after his self destruction
And by force
This meant that its obvios give the same system to the same space will fail
Grand Admiral Vermeulen and the corrupt weak galactic republic lasted for hundreds or years because of an INSIDE threat
Unfortunately the restoration of the REPUBLIC was literally a reboot of the old Republic. It had all the same baggage.
Great. In Legends, the New Republic was an unprepared, moronic group too afraid of becoming the Empire to properly stand the test of time. In canon, they're a moronic, naïve group who invited death the moment it showed up.
Just for once, could we actually get a competent, powerful New Republic that doesn't get spectacularly beaten in like five minutes!?
They had ten years to prepare and they still were literally thrown out of the Core by Thrawn and Palpatine. They then elected two Chiefs of State that both managed to almost bring the Republic down or corrupt it. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to elect a former Imperial Black Operations Officer who also was romantically involved with Tarkin!
And a weak and dying Empire? They couldn't finish them off when they were at their weakest and allowed them to become the Remnant! Or do you not remember the shit Paelleon went through?
Luke also didn't have billions. He had maybe thousands.
They also had warning that the Vong were coming and didn't act on it. As a result, the NR were brutally smashed in a conflict that left Billions if not Trillions dead.
So, no, I don't see them as powerful or great.
At the same time,, though, a lot of the hard line Authoritarian "Centrists" in the New Republic were secretly First Order sympathizers or even agents, so even if part of the Republic's downfall can be blamed on their pacifists and libertarians (populists), a lot of the hard liners who would agree with you also did their part to set it up for failure.
"They had ten years to prepare and they still were literally thrown out of the Core by Thrawn and Palpatine."
I know who Thrawn is, jackass. Maybe you should read my replies before you call me retarded.
Let me put it to you this way. It was because of Rommel that the Germans so brilliantly and swiftly slipped past the French defense and utterly threw the Allies off the continent. I do not care how brilliant a strategist is. If the defending country is unable to prepare accordingly when they were given ample time to do so, then they are not a great nor powerful nation.
how about No, the Empire was great, even palpatine. I dont think he was evil, he just had grand goals he didn't care what happens along the way. for example building the deathstars. why would you build a weapon capable of destroying entire planets for an enemy that doesn't even control one. it makes no sense. unless there is a far bigger threat he was anticipating in the future. he didn't even consider the republic a threat.
The Empire got rid of slavery, incompetent leaders, and got rid of the Jedi who were too backwards and warlike to do anything right, The Republic was trying to resist this basically siding with slavers and evil doers.
"The Empire got rid of slavery"
boi they embraced slavery
I don't care if the new trilogy is canon, I personally see Legends as the true canon. I hate how Ep 7 is literally just spitting on Ep 6 ending.
WatcherMovie008 and you think that the emperor coming back as a clone in your precious legends doesn’t ‘spit on episode 6 ending’?
I honestly found that part of the Legends to be stupid (like, we get it, Palpatine was a powerful Sith but even that was stretching it too far), but if I had to choose between Legend's lore and Disney's lore after Ep VI, I still choose Legends lore. I mean, what has Disney's lore done to expand other than keep playing safe to appease the OT?
Yes, legends is best, luuke and luuuke can tell you that!
Isn't the first order the resistance? Wtf is the resistance even resisting
Bilbo Swaggins the first order... duh
Well technically the new republic is the major power in the galaxy and the resistance is resisting who again? The empire?.. seriously episode 7 should've been more informative, instead of re imagining episode 4
Charles Fisher yeah but the first order isn't the dominant government in the galaxy. The resistance is more of a strike squad against North Korea, not an uprising against the big bad empire
It appears that they are resisting the First Order, as they believe the Republic itself is ignoring that threat.
It's not unheard of, neither is it being officially yet unofficially supported, look at the Flying Tigers as well as the US financial and military support of many anti-Castro terrorist groups in South Florida from 1959 onward.
Lockjaw they're the dominant force in the unknown regions, New Republic still exists with Coruscant minus the senate
Then the New Empire is formed, and there is The Revolution, they create the 3rd Republic which sucks, and The Struggle is formed to help it. Which then becomes the 3rd Empire, which falls to The Defiance
Leia has announced a new name for the resistance, the seperatists. Who would like to get indepence from the evil republic. Its rumored that a fallen jedi is moving in the shadows as the puppet master.
The senate sent me here.
Kit Fisto9809 Do you mean Palpatine?
I am the senate
leman Russ Not yet
*takes a lightsaber to the stomach
Mark Games Not yet
When you compared Hillary to the evil Empire, and Ron as the good Republic... you earned my sub! haha
So you greated high ground death sticks thank you
Obi-Wan Kenobi kenobi I do not feel the dark side as you do
It became that way because Disney lacks imagination.
What star wars should've actually done is instead of doing a copy they should've made the remaining Galactic Empire (the ones who accepted the treaty) hate the New Republic and maybe attack the New Republic with their army troopers instead of stormtroopers, or do the same as the First Order and rebuild the stormtrooper corp. That way it's two galactic governments fighting each other instead of the same thing in the OT.
Gray Agent Yeah I would prefer that. I’m tired of the old ragtag team guerrilla stuff I want massive space battles
Nathan Gonzalez It would've made the stakes much higher and more action packed.
Great job on the video Generation Tech.
Don't even have to watch the video to answer this question: Disney discovered StarWars.
Fuck Disney
Eric Johnson Rebooting a franchise is not playing it safe lol. they got this waay wrong.
how exactly was this a reboot? The Prequels were far more of a reboot. Hell, they even took the Magic out of the Force and turned it into an alien infestation. At least now we have a return to form in story structure, and Star Wars is a Fantasy once again instead of an attempted political sci-fi
Thanks for the video, been really curious about this
I just realized the galactic empire is just like the real life Japanese empire. Think about it, both started out as democratic nations that fell under the control of a ultranationalistic military government that killed any opposition and had a dream of a powerful, united East Asia. Both started out kicking serious ass until the battle of Midway (in the empire's case the battle of Yavin).
And were ultimately defeated in a final stand of resistance (in Japan's case the battle of Okinawa and the Hiroshima and nagasaki bombings, the empire's case is Endor and Jekku). Now we just have to wait until a highly advanced Japanese mech army rises to achieve what it's predecessor did wrong.
ironic when you consider the imperial uniform i the original trilogy was based on the Japanese uniform from ww2.
Great content!
This is an awesome vid man! Keep up the great work!
The Resistance should've been called the Watch or something along those lines. Prior to the TFA, they aren't so much resisting as they are watching the First Order. But the wanted a name that sounded like Rebellion, but it couldn't be they exact same. Ugh, the more I think I about the TFA, the more disappointed I get. It really was a high budget fan-film remake of a New Hope.
They should be the army of the galactic republic, tbh they just wanted to make it too similar to the original trilogy.
superb video
Now we need a French resistance main character to say Viva la resistance
It's "vive la résistance".
John Wotek ah yes thank you.
Brilliant!!! I do love you guys!!!!
Thanks Allen!
In the end Anakin was right, the Republic was always doomed to be consumed, a galactic civilization needs a strong leader, nothing else, the damn rebellion doomed the Galactic community in the end. Hail the Galactic Empire!!!
Also, thank you disney, for making the Galactic Civil war completely pointless in the end xD
xX Valtiel Xx yep blame it all the way to disney! Damn those fools cant even think of a story to tell they just "re-brand" even calling the courtesy episode 7" new hope re-imagined"
So what you are saying is that the Resistance is just a cheap knock-off of the Insiders from the New Jedi Order series in Legends.
Love the videos man. Good lore, good quality.. sub for sure
THANK YOU!
Good Stuff!
This is an amazing channel
I love how people complain that the resistance is too similar to the rebellion, but you see, that’s the point
I do generally like the comedy in these videos, keep it up!
Im so glad I subscribed definitely worth it
Only seen 2 vids so far & me likey :) Subscribed
This was very informative. I had no idea what was going on in Star Wars VII. Thank you.
Really wish we got the New Republic fighting the First Order instead of another rebellion.....It's so dumb....If I wanted to see the Galactic Civil War again, I'd rewatch the original trilogy.
That being said, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The lore behind it existing is that the Republic wasn't taking the threat of the First Order seriously, so Leia formed her own military, with support of a FEW concerned senators. Yet, the movie says the REPUBLIC (As in, the government itself) is supporting them, and they are friends...
But anyway, I like to look at the glass half full and enjoy the new era as much as I can.....(A little hard to do xD) I like to think of the Resistance as an extension of the New Republic military, and the First Order as basically an evil rebellion. But what Snoke has to do with them, I HAVE NO IDEA.
+DaGerminator hehe yea I really wanted to see something different... I wanted to see luke begin a new Jedi order, I wanted to see An outside threat larger than the Sith invade the galaxy. The problem with the force awakens is they almost skipped too far ahead in time. In order for us to care about something like Kylo and Hans relationship they have to actually build it up. But instead were dropped in the same place we started Leia is a part of a ragtag group of fighters. Han is off doing god knows what. There no progression no development just rehash.
Exactly. Luke is back to square one, as the last Jedi. Han and Leia are back to what they used to do. Another rebel group. The Republic is once again destroyed. (For all we know, but hopefully not) And it wasn't even emotional since there was 0 development. Just bye bye Republic capital we never saw before now when it gets destroyed lol. Who knows, perhaps they will fix some of that in The Last Jedi? Here's to hoping!
Its just a slow way of removing Lucas's work one by one.
Don't believe me 'The Last Jedi'
So if the first order wanted to take over the galaxy why waste time and create a deatg star instead of creating a droud armada and curb stomp the republic because of the disarmament?
So cool
Generation Tech the best way to know about Star Wars Star Trek and much more #IamGenerationTech
first of all, i dig this channel, i watch it in my spare time, and sometimes i hate that someone stepped in to tie the knots in the franchise, and sometimes i just take as... fun. i believe i'll regret this, especially because i'm watching an "old" video, but... this is the third video, in a row, which make me rewind several times to understand what was said. i noticed two reasons for this: the names are completly alien (no pun intended) to me, as i just saw all the movies, didn't read a line off-canon (some subtitles would resolve this); and sometimes the music track is loud, so i couldn't understand the word without some serious lip reading (like in 7:26, yeah sure i understand it in context and it is there, but... wat. come again? i didn't... wat). anyways, i respect and notice all the care in making these videos, thanks for the work!
They became the Resistance when Disney tried to do something new but was too lazy to really do it.
Kilory - STAR WARS common sense.
Let me save you ten minutes of your time:
JJ Abrams was an unoriginal plagiarist who knew how popular the "Rebels vs. Empire" concept worked, so he re-did the whole thing but with different names. The end!
I applaud
to be fair, it's probably what Disney wanted too...
Sad, but true.
actually you only saved 9 minutes and 13 seconds but other than that you are correct sadly 😔
So the last Jedi did something new you people complain, JJ didn't want to disappoint fan so he played it safe you people complain....
U Rokk I just learned allot!!
What i dont understand is why they set TFA up where it takes a TON of supplimental material just to make sense out of what is going on. This should have been explained better in the movie itself. When starkiller base shot its beam it thought the main planet it showed was Corusant. Nothing was shown or said to make u think otherwise.....just bad writing and bad execution of explination. I really hope these next 2 movies wont be so bad. I really hate JJ is coming back for the final film of the trilogy.
I love this channel and the intro is but one reason.
This is a very good general summary of the Aftermath series, Battlefront, and Bloodlines for sure. I know the books and the games cover a great deal more, like what Han was up to before his son went off the reservation and he separated from his wife, but it's still a good rundown. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for summarizing the AFTERMATH series here so succinctly. I read one of the four novels but couldn't bear to read any more material written so sloppily in present tense. In spite of the interesting information within. Ack.
I no longer want to watch any of the new Star Wars movies.
The fact that they just had to destroy the New Republic just pisses me off.
I just subscribed to your channel man I found it recently and I absolutely love it can't wait for more videos!!!! :)
+Luke Skywalker the 2nd awesome welcome to the channel!
Generation Tech Thanks I'm so glad to be here!!! :)
Go back and watch his other videos there awesome
Raptor A I surely will!!! :)
Wait Luke the second?
How many Luke’s are there? (JOKE)
I love the description of the populists and centrists bro that was great lol
This guy cracks me up
Take the rebellion and make it shittier, case closed
Rodd Boward, The rebellion was shit from the start, empire for the win.
But..the Empire lost to that "shit"..
Jason Rodriguez ooooor did they?
Jason Rodriguez they only lost because of a sadistic lunatic.
The Rebellion has a better and more streamlined fleet system. Which in the end carried the day against the overrated Star triangles.
Heres one of the stories:
The Rebelion defeated the Empire, then turned into The New Republic, and Leia was a senator but another politician... (I got lazy, so I skipped a bit) and he told the Senate that Leia was Vaders son (after the Empire told him) and she got kicked out of the Senate so she founded the Ressistance (A secret group of the New Republics Navy which was used in emergency situations).
Awesome! I've wanted to read the Aftermath books since they started coming out, I just can't afford them. I got a small glimpse into the latter part of this narrative when I was given a copy of Cobalt Squadron as a gift (great book; you should read it if you haven't). While most of the story focuses on Rose Tico, adding depth to her character by showing the events she went through leading up to The Last Jedi, it did briefly cover how Leia secretly started the Resistance to gather intelligence on the First Order and their atrocities to win support within the New Republic so they could properly combat the threat. After watching this video, however, I want to read Aftermath even more! Maybe I'll get lucky and someone will gift me with those books next. Anyways, thanks for another amazing video!
There was a super waepon in the original trilogy in episode 1and 3...the sequels will be the same?
JJ: Can I copy your homework?
George: Sure, just change it so nobody can tell.
The picture of Ron Paul... Perfect
Weird theory that I thought up:
Finn is actually Lando Calrissian's son. You see, after Lando destroyed the Death Star, and the Empire was pissed, naturally, so Inferno Squad was dispatched to kill Calrissian, but when they arrived and succeeded in killing Calrissian, they discovered he had a son, who naturally screamed his head off when he figured out his dad got shot. This caused Inferno squad to need to dispose of him, but Commander Versio, having a soul, would not allow the child to be killed. They were forced to take the child, and so they headed back to the Corvus. When they arrived back at command, Iden was reprimanded for her companion, but then the command saw the light. This was the future of the Empire, as nobody would join the ranks of the storm trooper corps anymore, they would abduct children and train them to be killers. This may seem crazy and far-fetched, but why not. It's likely Clarissian will be in the campaign since they already have his model in the game (Star Wars Battlefront 2), and this would tie up a major loose end.
JAR JAR CONFIRMED FOR EPISODE 9
jk btw
Wedge Antilles he can only improve it.
Wedge Antilles he was confirmed dead bruv before TFA
I think he means jar jar Abrams has been confirmed to be directing 9 sadly :(
Darth Oculus He's probably going to do a better job than Rian Johnston
The salt towards JJ in the beginning is so fucking beautiful.
I remember seeing those ads everywhere.
You see, JJ Abrams didn't know how to make a new Star Wars movie without making the good guys the underdogs and the bad guys a huge, menacing empire. So, the New Republic was inexplicably out of context until it all blew up. This, of course, because the Expanded Universe is apparently not good enough anymore. Where the New Republic and the Imperial Remnant explored new stories in new places with new themes and new characters, the Resistance and the First Order fall back into the exact same fucking archetypes, stories, characters, and even plot as before.
Didn’t the new republic get destroyed in the Force Awakens.
the coruscant uprising gave me a great idea for a game. a game set on coruscant after endor, open warfare on the streets, rioting, it would be a good way to explain why the new republic capitol isn't on that planet due to it being a warzone.
The rebellion turned in to the freaking republic and the dumb resistance for a side I wish they did what Lucas created with the civil war between Hans children ( btw the Jedi were powerful again) and do something for the Star Wars universe not the fans
Allen be roasting people, lol
Rest In Peace, Jek Porkins
I have newfound respect for you guys!
WHY COULDN'T WE HAVE A MOVIE ABOUT THIS!?
Thanks for explaining that.
I hate how it seemed like Abrams just make a New Hope copy.
I apreciate someone cleaning up his mess
Will we ever see the old republic as prequel movies?
Really great video on Star Wars and somewhat strangely, also a great commentary on American politics...
"Old Ballsack McScrotum Face"
10/10
Be the force with whatever rebellion or resistance
I find it weird that the resistance to an other resistance don't use armor from the empire and why do they still use x-wings after 30 years?!?!
legoman716 because nostalgia. And they couldn’t give a fuck
Thanks for the mickey rourke info, always wondered why he looked weird! XD
That image of emperor palpatine at 6:12 scared the shit out of me!
3:40 Artist's depiction of scene from the book 'Darksaber' where Admiral Daala and Pellaeon gas the traitor Imperials when they fail to agree on plans to unite or let them use their own tactics to strike at the New Republic.
Damn the Star Wars universe can never settle down
ITS the main problem,,ITS THE REPUBLIC NOT THE RESISTANCE,,first order are "the rebels"in the new trilogy ,,but AR JAR abrams screw that and decide to copycat all episode IV,,even its song weird...
EPISODE VIII "REPUBLIC STRIKES BACK"
I agree to an extent: the Resistance was NOT DIRECTLY formed from the Rebel Alliance, it was formed from the New Republic.
another PLOT HOLE than republic stay decades withour do nothing..even when first order destroy the new jedi temple.."a causus belli"
Number 1
I had no idea Edward Norton was so central to all this, but it makes so much sense!
+AngryVeteran85 it was always going to be him
3:57 Don't you mean Counselor Edward Norton? lol
You would think after all those years they would've created some cool new
armor at least that signifies a new republic/rebellion
That’s why the rebellion became the resistance.
Ye
They should be The New Republic not the Resistance...
Hey uh... you think I could try some of those super-potent deathsticks?
the rebellion was rebelling against an empire that had already formed and the resistance was resisting a new empire from forming.
Maybe they'll take queues from the EU and form the GALACTIC REPUBLIC , or the REPUBLIC ORDER lol
in the same way the empire and new republic could be brought together, the only issue i see is because they did a time jump and Luke Leia and Han aren't going to be in any new films beyond these 3.. they can't have interesting after stories.
The trick with the EU was that the major war got resolved and the stories moved onto minor conflicts for a long time and followed personal stories about the heroes we loved raising their children and the new jedi who became the next wave of characters to follow into the next big war.
Disney awakens just fucked the pooch by having war follow war with no down time, no character stories that aren't spelled out, Leia and Han aren't a good couple and Han bails like a horrid husband that rough hansome smuggler girls went crazy for.. well he doesn't care enough to stay.
Luke screws up, everyone in the republic screws up, its basically world war 2 but 5 years later because everyone didn't disarm from the first, its a major fuckup in story telling.
χρονης κ. EU = Extended Universe = Star Wars Legends
Not European Union
+χρονης κ. yep, because the european union and starwars should be in the same comment
