Talk:New Republic/Legends

I think we are being overly critical of the New Republic. True, it ultimately failed, but we shouldn't compare it's failings while promoting the Old Republic and the Empire as better alternatives. Take membership: The Old Republic had 25,000 years to gain members and found colonies. The New Republic had less than 25. And under no circumstances should we compare it to the number of worlds controled by the Empire. Membership in the New Republic was voluntary; membership in the Empire was negotiated at turbolaser point. --User:SFH
