[QUOTE="Stalker0, post: 9127990, member: 5889"] This is also the issue of "this is space fantasy". Realistically, its actually quite common for a rebellion -> new government -> failed govt. It happens quite often, the problem is the people you need to fight revolutions are often not that great at governance. But that's reality, in space fantasy we want our heroes to triumph, to do better than those before them. When our heroic trio defeated the empire we are left with a "happily ever after" feeling. Unfortunately in pushing the story into the next generation they have setup the original heroes to fail to create a new threat. They didn't have to go that route, there were plenty of other ways to "threaten the galaxy" without the New Republic just failing from teh onset....but unfortunately that's what we have. But yeah it sucks, you want your heroes to win....not to perform deeds that ultimately fail just a generation later. [/QUOTE]
