My point is that of course they will get more equipment but it will be as handouts from allies because it is a movie and they are the main characters. It is not because they proved to everyone that they deserve free gear.The original rebellion had a fleet that was made up of loyal and sympathetic planetary fleet ships, the Mon Cal fleet that as a race joined the rebellion, and things like X-Wings from a company who key people defected to the rebellion and brought the equipment with them. Beyond that they acquired what they could purchase on the black market or steal. So they were assets they possessed when the rebellion started or directly acquired during the rebellion.Now we have a dozen or so people sitting on a ship that is Chewbacca's private property with no resources at all and hoping someone on the Outer Rim will give them what they need. Heck, they are so poorly equipped and organized that they thought the planet they were retreating to was well stocked and armed only to get there and find dusty computers and barely function land skimmers.You are right in regards to Rogue One and it makes it the best Star Wars movie out of the 9 we have to date. I only hope Han Solo is as good.</blockquote>
