New Star Wars book reveals highlights the origin of the First Order
Find out how the First Order 💦came to be so powerful before 𒈔Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Star Wars’ canon is a sprawling behemoth that isn’t only made up of the movies. Plenty of facts and stories that have a lot of importance to the galaxy far, far away can only be found in the novels, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:comic books, video games and more that make up the Star Wars universe (which even includes a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:theme park).
Now, a new book has revealed a bi𝄹t more information about the villainous First Order.
We first saw the First Order in 2015’s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The regime seemed to have sp⛎rung from the ashes of the Empire – they shared stormtroopers, Star Destroyers, helmet-clad Force users, and mysterious, powerful leaders, to name a few resemblances. However, nothing was really confirmed for certain throughout the entire sequel trilogy.
A new Star Wars book – aptly titled The Star Wars Book – by Pablo Hidalgo, Cole Horton, and Dan Zehr clears up some of the shadows around the First🐼 Order’s origin.
It’s already been shared that the First Order grew in strength after Imperials fled to the Unknown Regions i🍰n the years following the Battle of Jakku. Now, thanks to The Star Wars Book and some info from the , we also know how th🐟e First Order grew within the New Republic.
Essentially, members of the First Order tried to make the New Republic government more powerful. This led to a politi♊cal impassꦰe, which then prompted space systems that were worried about losing their freedom to leave the New Republic and join the emerging group known as the First Order.
It’s all a bit complica💃ted, but it’s also pretty similar to Emperor Palpatine’s power grabℱ in the prequel trilogy – he also played the Republic’s political system to his favour.

Considering the reception to the prequel trilogy’s focus on the politics of the saga, it’s probably a good thing that the sequel movies didn’t go into a lot of depth about the First Order’s origins. Still, tဣhis is a fascinating tidbit that explains how a threat so similar to the Empire could grow right under the New Republic’s nose.
