Picture is massive so I stuck it in a spoiler.​

This is for anyone who is still confused about the factions mentioned in TFA.​

 

[Laira Darkhold]

This helps me. But it is not enough. I need a 20 part book series STAT.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

I'm sure they'll fill in the gaps between stuff like Aftermath and TFA, because there's still a good thirty year gap between that novel and the movie.

So, basically, its how Chaos is going now.

OS/GR Cold War.
Alliance getting ready to do what is needed to be done?

Thanks for this!

 

[Darth Carnifex]

Except the Empire was forced into predetermined borders and made to cease hostilities with the New Republic along with horrific reparation payments, and eventually that decaying post-Endor government ceased to exist and the diehards buggered off into the Unknown Regions where they and their children now make up the bulk of the First Order.

Spoiler maybe

Snoke? SNOKE? SNOOOOOOOKE?!

Nah, but seriously, wtf... Snoke. Who looked at that and was like... "Legit."

 

[Zonia Kalranoos]

[member="Draco Vereen"] Snoke is a name for a norwegian fisherman. Oh well.

[member="Darth Vornskr"] I thought the First Order is a military junta? I mean, they are not "mysterious"... pretty much out in the open, with Starkiller base, Destroyers floating about and an army of brainwashed troppers who finally learned how to shoot.

[member="Coren Starchaser"] GA is more like ISIS, yes.

 

[Darth Carnifex]

The First Order is a military dictatorship that spreads power in the form of a junta, basically like a council with Snoke presumably at the tippity top. And they were hiding out in the vastly unexplored Unknown Regions for years while the New Republic never considered them an actual threat and instead worried more about intergalactic trade and their own politics.

And then they got their capital, their entire senate, and a good percentage of their navy obliterated

Sorry but it's kinda a lame name Compared to Sidious, Vader, Palpatine, Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, and now Snoke. Snorkle if you will.

And yes, Not a fan to the NR being useless and glossed over, but I hope to see the Slayer of Stars in the Ep8. BRING ME WEDGE ANTILLES!!!

 

[Zonia Kalranoos]

[member="Darth Vornskr"] I knooooowww! I contributed on indiegogo!

Speaking of politics, I kind of understand why episode I-III had to have so much CGI, everything was so glossy and shiny and plastic... The high galactic culture, akin to Roaring twenties, thousands of serving Jedi, some semblance of democracy... The Empire brought a new kind of aesthetic, with strong symbolism. I kind of hate the prequels less after seeing TFA.
