I mean, they had a republic and everything yet they were still called 'the resistance'? Resistance implies they were rebelling against something, not representing an independant republic. A republic which we never even saw before they were effortlessly wiped out. Ya know, the death star worked because it was a weapon to be feared. It was powerful, but not overpowered. Their new weapon literally wiped out the entire republic in 1 shot? There's no realistic way they should be able to rebuild after that. The war should effectively be over. And yeah, there was some serious deus ex machina going on in there too, especially Rey. But hey, it never had any stupid annoying creatures so that's a plus  |
To answer the first part that was "technically" explained in a scene with Leia visiting that planet that exploded from the Star Killer Base. But that entire chunk of the movie was taken out as to make the movie shorter. Its also why Phasma lacks scenes.
It would have filled a lot of "holes" that were made if they kept those scenes in. I wouldnt have minded a slightly longer SW movie tbh v.v XD
