    Watch the movie. The Republic fleet is discussed. I recall C3PO saying the Republic fleet was destroyed.

    Maybe in Legends or some bullshit Disney+ TV shows they do what you’re talking about but in the actual movie, the Republic fleet is a thing that exists. A little unfair to criticize a movie for things that happen in other works.

    But that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? Starting with the premise that a movie is bad and just making up things to prove the movie is bad while completely ignoring the movie itself.

      Nope not in Legends, Mon Mothma wasn’t stupid in there.

      C3PO didn’t lie, the new republic is so useless they had the whole government in a single planet (the one that blew up), with a very small fleet (explained in later content to be reduced to a mere 10%) the reasons of course are explained in later content (afraid of repeating the mistakes of the past it better to barely have an army.

      People like you fail to see that the criticism is wide, it’s not just criticizing TFA, nor just the movies it’s the whole Disney Star Wars universe so many things that doesn’t make sense even in universe context.

      This is not an issue with women, not even with the directors like JJ Abrams; it’s an issue with useless climbers and boot lockers known as the star wars story group, they are the ones that should tell the directors that doesn’t make sense (like the dagger they use with the ruins of a death star)
