[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 7705827, member: 31754"] Isn't a reboot by definition taking a story back to square one? But regardless TFA is not a reboot. It is a continuation of the previous story, the OT (Original Trilogy). It seems to be your claim that all previous victories by the rebels in the OT are somehow nullified because they suffered a defeat in TFA. I dispute that assertion. The Empire is still gone, the Emperor and Darth Vader are both dead, and they are down two Death Stars and a lot of capital ships. In the time between the two series it seems that the Empire has fractured, but the First Order has stared pulling some of that back together. A Resistance has sprung up in their territory (led by Leia). Finally Luke created a Jedi school which fell apart when it was betrayed by Kylo Ren. At the end of TFA the fledgling New Republic has lost its core worlds and most of its fleet. The First Order has lost Star Killer base. Overall I will call that a win for the First Order, but it was a costly one. So now there is still the Resistance, led by Leia, and whatever is left of the republic, plus they have Luke back and a new force sensitive (Rey). While the First Order still has their fleet ships and Kylo Ren is back in training with Snoke. Looking at all this the only thing that was lost by either side were things they didn't even have at the end of the OT. There was no Republic and there was no Jedi school. On the Empire side there was no Star Killer base. So both sides are essentially where they were at the end of Return of the Jedi. So the only things that were invalidated were things that the OT never achieved in the first place. All of this is indisputable fact. ;) [/QUOTE]
