Mon Mothma knew the remain of the Empire still…

/laughs
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.

Believe me Mothma is a badass female politician in Empire’s End, she knew how to delegate and somehow manipulate people to get what she want, she’s not some saint and she even accepted Sinjir as her assistance, imagine this move could get her a lot of criticism, like “ how dare you do you want to restore Empire bureaucracy? That loyalty officer is a war criminal!”. Mothma said because Sinjir didn’t believe democracy so he can give her more realistic advise. Lucasfilm please give me a Mothma+Sinjir Star Wars political TV show, I need this very badly.

If her political means are only good about getting what she want in the New Public, than… good job keeping an ex-imperial at her side using all her political charms but completely failed at keeping the First Order from raising in what? 25 years. I mean, come on, they should at least have enough regular fleets patrolling the outer rim. Granted the New Republic’s collective idiocy was also to blame, but she was the chancellor. If she kept within the New Republic enough military force, it won’t be left defenseless after she retired.
