I'm pretty sure the Resistance works at the behest of the Republic. Apparently the Republic and the First Order kinda signed a treaty of non-conflict or something. Obviously that all went to shit with Star Killer though. I understand why they did not want to put this in the film though, they were spooked by the prequels. 

Star Killer?

Eitherway to me, explained or unexplained, makes little sense. A New Republic would not sign a treaty like that with an organisation that looks and works like the empire they just overthrew, especially as the leaders of the Rebel Alliance would have had some say in the reformation of the republic.

I dunno, maybe I expect too much from Disney... considering they basically scrapped most of the EU just to steal one of the main bits from it. :P



I know people hate on Disney, but honestly by and large they deliver quality films. Like none of the Marvel movies they've made has been pure crap, it's all fairly well done, sure some are better than others. 

The EU kinda had to go otherwise Abrams and the new writers of this trilogy would have about 1039393 different post-ROTJ elements to have to work into the film. Like is Mara Jade going to be mentioned? Is she Rey's mom? Blah blah blah blah. It was simply easier just to wipe the slate clean. 

There's a lot of stupid shit in the EU anyway, I like the Zahn stuff and a few other things but not much else.
