Forum:SH:Should the First Order be considered "dissolved" after the events of TROS?

On the First Order's page, and indeed on many other pages that mention the First Order, it is declared that they were officially dissolved in 35 ABY after their rule "collapsed across the galaxy." However, the source for this comes from the film itself, which never specifically states that the First Order officially collapsed. The Visual Dictionary does state that they rule crumbles across the galaxy after the Battle of Exegol, however a crumbling rule does not equal a complete dissolution. Like in the Return of the Jedi, we see numerous celebrations across the galaxy after the Death Star II is destroyed, but the Empire isn't truly dissolved for over a year afterwards in the new canon. It is entirely plausible that the First Order continued to live on after the events of the Battle of Exegol, and that possible future Star Wars media may explore this period of time like it did the period of time after the Battle of Endor.

Thus, it is my suggestion that we simply remove the "confirmation" of the First Order's complete destruction in 35 ABY (especially considering that they still own large chunks of the galaxy and only really lost one ship in the Battle of Exegol since the Sith fleet wasn't technically part of the First Order in the first place).
