It would be as if Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia destroyed both of their entire armies in Stalingrad, not to mention both of their leaders. The Allies would just look at that and run them over effortlessly. Like who cares what they think and what they stood for?
The allies are a third party in your historical scenario and there's no third party in the episode 8, just the resistance and first order.

If so, he's a great example of the difference between reading spoilers and/or the script itself and then watching the actual movie itself being acted out.

There's a poster goes by Scoop, I think he's the one. Might be why I've gotten drive-by blasted a few times
I guess I got to put an avatar or something up.

Nah I’m pretty sure I’ve argued with you about something recently

I'm about to jump into the Rebels series and hopefully it will be just as good.
It starts off pretty bad, but it picks up by season 2. (not as good as the clone wars series though)

If the Republic is anything like it is in the prequels (despite their relative Washington or Northeast coast being blown up), then why the frick can’t they? This is a Zack Snyder oversight not fathoming that there are other things at work off screen that should be obvious to anyone with a brain.

But like I said, I've got to go out there and see for myself... I guess it's like hearing your wife is cheating on you at some bar, and you have to go down there and see it in real life.
OK, fixing to leave. Back in a few hours

Clone wars was the same too with the first season being the villain of the week but they eventually figured out that multi part episodes was the way to go and that's what made the laters seasons so great.
Season 6 i.e. the lost missions was supposed to be a full season of like 25 episodes but they cut it in half to 13 episodes.

I think that's because Disney couldn't finish the season after buying Star Wars since Time Warner (CN) had a stake in the Clone Wars series.

This assumes that all of the republic wasn't based on Coruscant and had shipyards and colonies elsewhere and I just doubt that.
That's another gripe I have about this new trilogy too. I loved the hell out of Coruscant as it was the engine of world building that made the high stakes of Star Wars really make its presence known.
I'm pissed Coruscant is gone.

Surely, they could've done some contract and/or settlement where disney paid time warner to finish the season?
It's just 13 more episodes. How hard was that?

No, it just assumes that they have a standing population, guns, and ships. When the First Order is destroyed by that degree, there for sure should be a radical uprising without giving a frick about the First Order or the Resistance. Given that the First Order just took over last fricking week, it’s hard to believe.

In The Force Awakens, there was a third party. The Republic. But the First Order destroyed those systems loyal to the Republic with their weapon from Star Killer Base. So my question becomes: where was the Republic in this conflict before they got wiped out? How come they weren't helping the Resistance fight the First Order?

Oh I agree. I didn't like the Clone Wars at first, but it got really good as the seasons went on. It was a shame that it went out the way that it did. So incomplete.

This isn’t even worth the question. Unless there’s an unlinear timeline in the movie (granted a possibility) where the Resistance doesn’t abandon their base for many months, then the First Order hasn’t even arrived on almost any world to dictate their policies yet. Episodes VII and VIII seemingly take place over 2 weeks.

Jeremy Jahns I’ve long considered a hack, but he did bitch nonstop about TLJ in his review and refused to give it a score saying he’ll save it for his Spoiler Review. He knows this is a piece of shite and is just waiting for his audience to agree with him before his review. It’s cowardice but bravery in the hands of Jahns. I’ve always assumed he looked at his comments section and Tomatometer before ever giving his review, but he’s going against it for once.

The angry joe people rip this movie to shreds and they ask/complain about all the things i am pissed about as well. They understand why we are all pissed at this movie.
Posted on 12/16/17 at 9:26 pm to OMLandshark
About to be downvoted to hell but......after seeing TLJ and TFA, I now have more of an appreciation for the prequel trilogy. While it could be awful at some times, they truly did set up how the empire came to power. It told a story, while painful at times. When it’s all said and done and you watch all the Star Wars movies from episode 1 to episode 9, I think it might potentially all come together nicely as one story.

Just got out
It wasn't a shite movie but it completely whiffed on elevating the franchise. Seems like Johnson had no direction with that he wanted to do besides throwing in a ton of women leaders
