As someone who didn't bother to do any of the apparently required reading before coming to class, why is there a Republic and a Resistance?

Hakkesshu posted:The imperial remnant still have a standing army and are evidently raiding planets for more recruits and resources. Seems logical enough to me that you wouldn't be able to just wipe them out within 30 years. I think the terminology is the real issue here, introducing the word "resistance" just makes it more confusing No, I mean why is there a Republic, a Resistance, and a First Order? Like, when all the Republic planets get Alderaan'd at the same time, why is there still a Resistance that's made up of all the old Rebellion generals? They even say, "drat, I wish we had the Republic fleet to help us out with destroying this new Death Star."

Eiba posted:Best I can figure the Republic is the legitimate government formed by the Rebels after the Empire fell. At some point they must have signed a peace treaty or something with the Imperial remnants calling themselves the First Order. I'd guess they don't want to militarize or something and they're shying away from a direct war in the name of peace (they allow chaos, is what Hux says, I think), but still the First Order is pretty evil and so they're funding a group of deniable non-Republic-afiliated people to fight them- the Resistance. But there's a line about how the Resistance wishes they had the Republic fleet that was just blown up by the First Order...
