The Republic is portrayed as a democratic constitutional republic that has sustained itself peacefully for over twenty-five thousand years, but is tied up in layers of bureaucracy. It is mainly overseen by the Senate, a body in the Legislative Branch of the Republic government. It is protected by the Jedi Order, the guardians of peace and justice throughout the Star Wars galaxy. After the end of the Galactic Empire, the New Republic was founded. It was enforced by the original Rebellion, eventually known as the New Republic Military. The New Republic is depicted in the new "Star Wars" series, "The Mandalorian". The New Republic is eventually destroyed by the First Order, under Supreme Leader Snoke's direction.
