    Why the assuption that he ran around and cleaned toilets. He was the best sniper in his squad he could also been guarding the sanitation module of the planet. They needed to kill all threats, like animals, on the planet during the construction.

    In all seriousness though: Bloodline hints at the possibility that rogue senators were funding it along with the black market.

    The First Order were financed through a merchandise deal between themselves and a well-known Entertainment Company which uses a rodent as its logo.

    The question isn't money, it's infrastructure, manufacturing capacity and resources. In all likelihood, the FO had a massive head start on all three.

    My best guess is that they took whatever wealth was left from Sidious and looted the planets the conquered. Other than that, I don’t have a clue.

    Hehe. I was going to say spice game. Anyways. Uhm Palpatine acquired a lot of priceless antiquities especially from Naboo. They could have used them as ransom. Most likely they just take what they want. They kidnapped small children, why not everything else.

    This! Plus, I've been harping on about a Rakata connection ever since the first canon star map dropped featuring Rakata Prime - Star Forge. That could explain how they can pump out new equipment.

    I imagine they get their money through some sort of scam, no doubt.
