The First Order's Internal Struggle | Will It Destroy Them?

There is an underlying problem that threatens to destroy the First Order from within. And that has to do with the growing disconnect between the Old Guard (Former Imperials) and the New Guard (Post Imperial Era) in the First Order.

I highly feel for the old guard and still hope they (together with Imperial Remnants in the Core Worlds etc and maybe the Chiss) will get rid of this rabid dogs like Hux and Kylo. Men like Pellaeon and Women like Sloane and allies like Thrawn represent the best of the Empire - with them a lasting Empire could be build. The New Republic and the new ranks of the FO are both similar incompetent.

[@theminisimmer]

I love the Empire for its cold ambition. They were focused and had clear goals. I also love the First Order for its inner struggle and the fact that it's so volatile that it could destroy itself from the inside out. Hux needs to prove himself a force to be reckoned with in episode 9, and I feel like he might just do that. He's probably sick of being thrown around and abused. The question is, will he ever be as great as Grand Admiral Thrawn...? Doubt it.

[@christopherbravo1813]

I personally like the Starscream ripoff.

[@lisbon1492]

The First Order's biggest internal struggle will be between Hux and Kylo Ren. While Kylo is nominally the new supreme leader, he will be challenged by Hux and the other officers. This creates a very dangerous schism for the First Order. While he was incredibly evil, Snoke was a unifying figure in the First Order. Snoke clearly possessed certain political skills that allowed him to lead the First Order effectively. Kylo Ren does not have any leadership skills, and he is incredibly impulsive, as seen at the end of The Last Jedi. Hux and the other First Order officers don't really respect Kylo, and they will probably try to assassinate Kylo as quickly as possible. This situation reminds me of South Vietnam after Diem's assassination. After Diem's death, the South Vietnamese government was never able to unify around another leader, and the government descended into political chaos with coups and counter-coups.

[@danielgavilan6387]

Well, perhaps I am playing the devil's advocate to much with Hux, but the guy isn't exactly someone who appear to give up easily. His Starkiller base was destroyed. He had a Dreadnought. The Dreadnought was destroyed, his fleet was equipped with hyperspace tracker system. Part of the fleet was destroyed and the enemy take refuge in a unbreakable base, he had a battering ram cannon. Even when Snoke take him down against the floor, the guy declined to submit his gaze, being totally secure of overcome his failure. Hux is a jackal, and a short-tempered psychopath. But also a persistent one, with a unique skill to survive to his own and others mess. While Kylo Ren is heading to his own destruction, I would be cautious to not understimate that Hux moron. He probably it's the most dangerous First Order's guy at this moment

From how things are going i think the old guard are just going to end up getting killed due to plot or new guard incompetence

[@justaknight4719]

It was definitely due to new guard incompetence. :p

[@danielgavilan6387]

I agree with almost everything, but also think Armitage deserve some credit. Starkiller base was destroyed, yes. But it was by a impossible maneuver performed by Han Solo, Chewbacca and Finn, getting inside the orbital shield by jumping to hyperspace, and being incredibly lucky, by finding one of the few people with athority to disengage the shields. Plus, the base served its purpose, destroying the entire Hosninan Prime System and New Republic's army. Without Starkiller base, First Order would have had to face a neverending Clone Wars type conflict to take New Republic's capital. Having time to make a single shot, they perform a perfect blitzkrieg, leaving only some dozens of Leia ragtag rebels as opposition

[@christopherbravo1813]

And then he threw away his fancy dreadnought almost immediately after Starkiller's destruction.

[@danielshmitka8119]

I agree with Christopher. The first order does a blitzkrieg against a pacifist fleet and capital instead attacking the known threat then throwing away yet another powerful weapon that was destroyed by these meger few resistance then Holdo pulls an old classic move performed by the Japanese imperial fighters during ww2 by suicide rushing the enemy destroying half of the fleet and the largest capital ship ever built. Strategy is not in their skill set.

[@danielgavilan6387]

Daniel Shmitka They do better with theoretical strategies and with the development of an powerfull war machine, than in the field. Yes, they lose the Starkiller Base, and then the Dreadnought, the Supremacy and twenty capital ships more. But unlike the Empire and the Deathstar fiasco, the First Order was ready to go through with their lose, and keep going with the siege. If the Empire would have done the same thing, the Rebel Alliance wouldn't have survive Yavin 4. Sometimes you win by having better soldiers, sometimes you win by not doing the attack, until you know you have the biggest and more advanced army. Plus, New Republic is not "pacifist" like "vegan Hippies from the sixties pacifists", but like "NATO pacifists"

[@christopherbravo1813]

That doesn't excuse the idiotic tactics of Herr Starscream, if you know what I mean.

[@danielshmitka8119]

+Daniel Gavilán ok ok....not pacifist? They called for total disarmament of all warships. Self defense only kind of weapons. They didn't listen to Liea and no offense but even those who were in the empire like Captain Candy completely hates that his superior wouldn't send out fighters to destroy the resistance fighter or just plain out defend the dreadnaught. That's the problem with saying they are good at theoretical strategy is even in theory it's flawed because their loss is about 100,000 times more than the resistance not to mention no one take Kylo serious anymore. I do see your point though but even a half assed blitzkrieg would do more damage than what they did. They only killed the bombers and fighter craft of the resistance and one admiral. They failed to kill Leia (plot armor) and they failed to kill the resistance when they out gunned, out numbered and cornered them on Crait

[@daniels7907]

The First Order is a joke now that Kylo Ren is in charge. Rian Johnson justified killing off Snoke with the excuse that it was to allow Kylo to take center stage as the main villain. But, he never actually demonstrates that Kylo is *qualified* to be the main villain. He has no self-control, throws tantrums and makes strategically unsound decisions based on his emotions. Only the fact that the New Republic was also a joke built on Mon Mothma's nostalgia for the weak and ineffectual Republic of Chancellor Valorum opens even the possibility that the First Order can win now. If the heroes win, it is only because the villains are even more incompetent than they are!

[@GenerationTech]

Yea rian johnson doesn’t think about the trilogy he’s looking for things to work in his movie and the smoke thing was unexpected but really ties up the next director

[@justaknight4719]

Imagine Darth Plagueis is Snoke's master. That would turn some head, he successfully resurrected him self though Sith science.

[@daniels7907]

They may have to actually play the Essence Transfer card. In the OT, you could imagine Darth Vader ruling the Empire as early as ANH. But we are two movies into the sequel trilogy and Kylo Ren has yet to demonstrate that he is anything more than a temperamental man-child who acts solely on impulse rather than strategy. The only thing he has going for him is that apparently the New Republic was basically a failed state and dissolved into chaos when Hosnian Prime was destroyed. But that introduces the problem of why we should root for the New Republic when it was obviously not worth saving. This trilogy needed an outline that encompassed all three movies from the beginning, rather than leaving it up to each individual director to pursue their "vision".

probably my biggest problem with SW that it's main medium, the movies are... especially the new ones, when you hop in and watch, you will not understand a big chunk of it. and not only because for ex you didn't see the old ones, but because the films are just a small part of the story. the films do not tell you the wast majority of the story and characters and then the impression is that half of the crew is either an idiot or a pathetic ball made out of arrogance and bullcrap. if you want to understand it and them, you either read every book and comic or watch every KZbin videos about it. this is... I couldn'tt show an SW movie to my gf without constantly telling her the little pieces. and if she would hate the movie, I would totally understand her. they are like a hollow slideshow if you ask me. short clips of something big. it is just somehow a thing in SW movies at least for me, can't enjoy them and the SW universe without deep searching for these informations. but it shouldn't be the case.

It wasn't until the books and comics that you saw what he really was capable of, same with every single main character actually in star wars anakins a whiny emotional bitch who appears to be in a relationship with a woman so much older then him it will make you feel uncomfortable until you read the comics or watch clone Wars and find out their ages are pretty close together her planet is just fucking stupid and they have queens that are possibly elected that also don't have the power of a Senator?

"Those who don't learn from history are oft doomed to repeat it." Don't know who said that. It's funny but the First Order New Guard seems a lot like JJ, Rian, and the other lucasfilm/bad robot gang.

We do have one but just for the anti dolphins

[@vadandrumist1670]

Could you make a video going over what you would consider your ideal ship & crew for bounty hunting using Star Wars tech. This could include multiple ships (example: the bounty hunting ship and crew of Cowboy Bebop).

great vid, really interesting

[@alexmaurice4274]

Woah the charity thing ur doing is really cool!

[@lawrencemiller7442]

What they need is more officers like Captain Needa a officer who when faced with failure own up to it and doesn't try and weasel his way out of it like so many of his fellow Imperial officers shifting blam to subordinates and colleagues. Unfortunately his failure and apology was unacceptable by Darth Vadars high standards and unapologetic view on incompetence. Great job again ladies and gentlemen. I always look forward to your uploads. Until next time. A loyal viewer.

[@adambielen8996]

Poor Captain Needa.

[@PakornThaipituk]

Then, would you explore the possibility that the Old guard helps the Resietance to fight the New counterpart to bring galaxtic peace?

[@selfloathinggameing]

This is actually pretty interesting, the old imperials like Pryde stayed loyal to the Emperor while both their Supreme Leader and General Hux both betrayed the FO

[@rps1276]

Well a bigger conflict between those two groups would have been more interesting than Episode 9

[@Galen55]

It's disgusting to see how far the Empire has fallen...

[@murdostuart6609]

So Palpatine initiated a scorched earth tactic (asset denial) like what the Soviets did in ww2. The Soviets used this tactic in their retreat as did the galactic empire. Star wars really does have real life counter parts.

[@darthderp8066]

They could take a snow speeder and tie a big bolder and walker tip it from the top

[@noodledogs]

on one hand, their imbalance in authority and disagreements definitely poses them as weaker than their predecessor, but on the other hand, from an audience point of view, i like the contrast. the empire was well organized and most everybody had a common goal. the first order having internal struggles sets them apart from that and fortunately doesnt just make them a copycat.

[@pluto9]

I’m buying your entire stock of shirts now

[@DeShawnMcDonald]

With versus and comparisons id love to see something like what if humanity had a jedi council pre war, would the find diplomatic ways to stop the insurgency before the Spartan program could get the green light or vice versa what if some senator didn't trust the clones and stated a massive Spartan project just in case would the empire ever even form?

[@cameronburke8002]

It would be cool to see the First Order split into Kylo's First Order and the Old Guard in episode 9.

[@FellSkyhawk]

They upgraded the interior of the TIE fighters but they went backwards in design.

[@flare9757]

I wonder if we will ever see First Order Shocktroopers...

[@iamagoose8074]

Good morning great video

[@TheGrandTurk]

I'm totally willing to suspend any disbelief if they establish that Captain Canady survives the destruction of the Fulminatrix so he can come back in Episode 9 as one of those Old Guard determined to get the First Order back on track. That character was awesome.

[@psn.malgus]

We should've scrambled our fighters five bloody minutes ago! One of the only good lines in The Last Jedi.

[@LuceoX30]

Do a video on something about Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Saga. An RTS game that was pretty good.

[@MaximilienRobespierre1]

Why did Palpatine care about the empire in the case of his death? The empire existed as a means to restore the Sith.

[@neofulcrum5013]

I hope so

[@FionnMacCool]

The creation of the first order against the new republic would be a much better trilogy than what we got

[@christophermills7693]

But... what about those people who just have to do it the hard way???

[@deadknight1402]

Me and my brother did some for-funsies speculation about the future of the Galaxy, and we came upon a narrative that would be fucking awesome. What if the First Order were to experience its own great schism? With leaders like Hux and Phasma leading those who still had deep loyalty and respect for Supreme Leader Snoke, and chose to mourn him, meanwhile Kylo Ren and the Knights of Ren would lead the other half of those who wish to "Let the past die." And as the Resistance is a fractured, minuscule force at the moment, then they can't reestablish a democracy into the Galaxy, and thus results a power vacuum, with various factions arising to claim the Galactic scene.

[@Sam_T2000]

I don’t appreciate this dynamic, really... or at least with Hux. Hux should’ve been much older, like someone who was a junior officer in the Empire and rose to command the First Order... and then he hates that Kylo Ren came out of nowhere to usurp the power he’s earned. I know this is slightly similar to what we got, but I just feel that Hux is a completely mishandled character... like at least Phasma had minimal screen time, and is dead... Hux is still around making scenes stupid.

[@seanosullivan9230]

Here in Ireland we have a defence force which after the siege of jeadeville In the republic of the Congo in 1961 decided to never lend soildiers to the UN again but only supplies and the only reason we're going to have to use the defence force is if anyone decides to invade us

I still think that Starkiller base was a useful idea, that fulfilled its purpose well.

[@NjK601]

I discussed this once with a history teacher who agreed with me, Disney is basically following many an alt WW2 timeline, Nazis rise to power form a weak Republic, go on to expand then are slowly driven back and finally exit the stage after a grand battle (Berlin/Jakku) only to return years later from The Unknown Regions in full force (Antarctica/Argentina/Space) so we have to figure out how Snoke and Kylo work into that, is Kylo like.. space Hitlers grandson who took back the reigns of power?

[@benjaminstorace6699]

Generation Tech, while dolphins are no doubt a threat, but what's your opinion on utilizing Jokaero?

[@ArmouredProductions]

Felt bad for captain Canady, they should have listened to him, he knew what he was doing.

[@somecoolassassin6779]

You know what would be so cool if the sith troopers in episode 9 turn out to be the last remnants of 501st legion

[@TimeForBreak]

Disney has to make a spin-off about Captain Canady

[@IMPERIALPTY210]

The rank insignia of the first order is almost indecipherable. I want my Empire back.

[@jamoecw]

yes their ships are so much better that now they can be taken out with a standard hyperdrive. how awesome are those improvements, eh?

[@mylesmcarthur642]

A hyperdrive jump attack is basically like the firing of the death star super-laser, it has low accuracy, but high power.

[@jamoecw]

well if you look at the original movies they slow down or even stop before jumping to hyperspace. this is indicative of jumping into a different 'plane of existence' called hyperspace which is connected gravitationally. this means that jumping to hyperspace requires extreme close proximity to your target in order to use the hyperdrive to crash into them. and so it would most likely be very low power, low accuracy. well a lot of legends and other references has the hyperdrive get the ship up to light speed before entering hyperspace. so if we operate of of this instead, then yes it would be high power, though not so much low accuarcy as you can point your ship exactly where you want to hit. of course this means that the original movie is pointless, as the power of the death star is weaker than a cheap freighter filled with dirt going kamikaze. a single fighter could kamikaze the death star and take it out. both of these strategies could be done with autopilot, and thus you don't even need to sacrifice a droid. so the whole plot of the original movie becomes very silly. of course if we look at the space battle over the moon of endor (episode 6) we can see that when shields are up kamikaze fighters do essentially zero damage. drop the shields and you have the damage you'd expect (the A-Wing into the bridge). so at the very least this sort of thing makes the first movie pointless, unless there is a good reason as to why it doesn't work. the last jedi shows us that there is no reason as to why this shouldn't be the standard way to take out big slow targets. this makes the whole space fight thing silly even in the same movie, especially for a fanatical regime that cares little for its pilots like the first order (or empire, or CIS).
