We were introduced to an established Republic, with like a war fleet and shit.
So, why the hell was their a separate "Resistance"?
Wouldn't it have made more sense for Leia and friends to have been a part of the Republic and then after the obliteration of their seat of power form "The Resistance"?
Like, no other stupid plot choice fucks with me more than Leia being the general of a separate faction to the Republic that she wanted so badly to bring back.

Public was tired of war so the representatives wouldn't allow another one. So some senators funnel money to Leia's fighting force.

How the fuck did no one notice a planet size death being built.

That absorbed suns

The whole speech before the planet gun was used mentioned how the Republic are behind the resistance.
What we probably have is a Cold War situation between two powers. With the Republic supporting dissident forces in areas controlled by the first order.
Can someone post the comic page explaining this?

>Death Star 2, Sheev, and Vader dead
>Truce instead of unconditional surrender
What?
