Mon Mothma knew the remain of the Empire still…

Mothma’s an idealist who believes in democracy and if you restore the voice to the people everyone will work together to better things. Which is…pretty spectacular considering she was there for the Clone Wars.But…yeah. Doesn’t surprise me.
In a way it’s admirable because it’s exactly her kind of Faith Gesture. But still.
Strategically…not the best.
Democracy is great and ilealism is fine but cut down 90% of your defense force when your neighbor is a genocidal maniac is down right stupid. Even more so when the First Order was clearly building up their military and has already infiltrated into the New Republic.
She didn’t strike me as so stupidly being a blind idealist in Rebels, more like someone who’s being calculating and careful (considering the Rebels is essentially a
guerrilla
force with significantly weaker resources, it’s understandable). Maybe she changed, maybe she simply showed her true color. I don’t know, it’s so disappointing though.
