Yeah that’s so very true! The republic at the time seems like it either needed to reform or someone was going to take advantage like Palpatine did.
That’s so very true!
And that’s true as well, it’s clear in the Aftermath books. Mon is already talking about dismantling the military and then there are planets that genuinely need liberating (like Kashyyyk) and the senate is like ‘nope, don’t care’. And then when the first order rises, like you say, no one wants to know (a thing mentioned in the Poe comic). It makes me wonder how Ep IX will play out.
Yeah, that’s a good point. I could see him dissauding her easily. (Which of course brings up why didn’t Valorum bring them in?)
Exactly! She’s purely emotional and frustrated, because this is a situation that needs resolving now, not weeks or months in the future (at which point the trade federation could have hid what they did).
Yeah exactly! I think one of the old eu books covered him working behind the scenes, hinting to people that Valorum was weak and getting others on his side.
