Star Wars: The Last Jedi was not kind to the Resistance. In spite of their victory against the First Order in The Force Awakens, it saw the Resistance on their backsides, doing what they could to escape the clutches of Kylo Ren and Supreme Leader Snoke. Over the course of the film, we saw their band of heroes reduced to like 12 people.

Not surprisingly, it sounds like things haven’t gotten much better in the time between The Last Jedi and this year’s Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Speaking with Yahoo!, actor John Boyega revealed the current state of the Resistance.

“It’s just not easy for the Resistance,” he said.

“The Resistance are broke, they don’t have weapons. Not a lot of allies. You know how they were left after Last Jedi. It’s not a great situation. … Darkness, for the first time in a long time, has taken like 10 million leaps forward.

“And for us to deal with that as Resistance heroes is a bit of madness. And there’s conflict between us, between ourselves, figuring out our past. And all of that is just approached in a magnificent way and I can’t wait for it.”

I’m on board with things being rough for the Resistance, but as we saw in the trailer, it looks like they will eventually have access to a band of ships…so hopefully they’ll find a way to explain that.
