    By the time of 9 they are not even talking about restoring liberalism or the pretense of democracy again. It is just the rebellion. The rebels become totally apolitical, thus Abrams keeps the franchise in an eternal state of rebels vs empire like he is a kid playing with toys reenacting the OT over and over again

      He’s the worst kind of uncreative brat in the neighborhood, the kind that bashes the toys together until they break (killing off characters and undoing any changes that they had established) and scratches his name on stuff that was never his (like the not-Tatooine “Jakuu” and the not-Corsucant “Hosnian Prime” that was almost Coruscant until the suits said he can’t quite break that toy, and the not-Empire “First Order” and the not-Rebellion “Resistance” and don’t get me started on the not-Sith “Knights of Ren.”).
