Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015 movie): In TFA, why is the Rebellion now called the Resistance? What's the relationship btwn the old Rebellion, the new Resistance, & the New Republic?
I have a question about Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Why is the Rebellion now called the Resistance?
That's a great question! The Rebellion was originally fighting against the Empire, but now that the Empire has fallen, they are fighting against the First Order. They are called the Resistance because they are resisting the efforts of the First Order to take over the galaxy.
