It’s pretty much only an army, which means, if they run out resources, it stands to reason they’ll need to steal from somewhere else. During the Empire’s reign, the galaxy-spanning government - the Republic - morphed into the Empire, meaning, that for a little while, you had an Imperial Senate. In fact, the primary difference between the First Order and the Empire is that is resources are a little less explicable in the new films, mostly because it functions as a military junta rather than a real government.

Spoilers ahead for unverified rumors about The Rise of Skywalker Also speculative spoilers ahead and some mild spoilers for novels published in the nineties. And, if all of this does go down, it seems to leave the blast doors wide open for some expanded universe retcon. Will Kylo Ren have something in common with Grand Admiral Thrawn in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker? If one new rumor is to be believed, Kylo will pull something in the next Star Wars movie that is very similar to a huge plot point in Timothy Zahn’s famous Thrawn trilogy of novels.
