Ha ha, yes. I mean on the one hand they have these deep space X-Wing patrols that will harass lowly unmarked transports on the off chance that they're shuttling Imperial stowaways while massive Imperial cruisers operate in the open with easy to spot Stormtroopers walking around on the *outside* of the ship?? The New Republic doesn't have rewards for information about, oh I don't know, *massive Imperial cruisers* that make regular trips to fishing towns full of mercenaries eager to cash in on such rewards?
It'd be cool if Chapter 13 began with Filoni and his X-Wing buddy heading back to their ships after questioning Greef and then you see the shady Mimban mechanic tinkering with one of the X-Wings and then quickly going about other business. Filoni and the Asian guy take off, leave the atmosphere, one of them says "okay once we log this report back at base they'll definitely send us some extra personnel to see just what the hell is going on out here. Prepare for lightspeed on my mark and..." and then something starts flashing red on their control panels and beeping frantically, they freak out and both fighters explode in the cold dark of space without anyone knowing what happened or where they were.
Actually, I think it?s simpler than that. We SW fans tend to see thinks and black and white , good and evil. But they are clearly trying to introduce that ?grey? concept into SW lore. The last 3 films were steeped in ?grey thinking? . This is how the real world operate and it?s also SW now.....
The idea that the Good guys (NR) would be totally right in all their decisions while blundering them , while other ?good guys? make BAD choices that support the ?bad guys? CAN exist in the same space.
I think it?s entirely plausible that the FO grew out of several type of people.
1. Fanatics devoted to the Emperor and Empire.
2. Factions whom had gained financially directly of indirectly from the Empires rule.
3. Those not affected either way, but fearful of getting involved due to the obvious repercussions involved.
These groups did not just vanishing with the destruction of DSII and the deaths of the leadership.
They would have been more than supportive of the FO coming around, especially if it lined up with the initial driving force which caused them to support the empire.
The leaders in the worlds such as Corellia, and Kessel would obviously not want freedom for people and would actively help the remnants of the Empire......I think it?s safe to say the Hutts would want zero law and order from either the FO or NR....
So , there is that grey again. It?s laughable to think people believe that the Rebels in the OT just ?took over?. That?s not what happened. They broke up a fascist regimen,
And reforms a broken republic, and seated themselves inside that republic.
They obviously became obsessed and paranoid about the Remnants of the Empire (rightfullly so) and lost focus on the NR , which led to the new leaderships downfall from lack of good faith.
Just one mans opinion but all the facts support it.
