Peace Between the Republic and the Order?

Regime change, new leader willing to bring systems controlled by 1st Order into a new government with the Republic. Wasn't there a new empire that was not as bad with Imperial Knights who were not Jedi but were sworn to off the Emperor if he felt to the dark side.

 

Not a bad idea to see the two sides just co-exist similar to the Legends storyline where Luke puts Jagged Fel in charge of the Imperial Remnant. The New Republic was so divided between the Centrists and Populists that a "two-state solution" seems like the best chance for lasting peace.

 

Too fascistic for sure.
Those that follow the FO do so out of greed or because they are forced to/brainwashed.
However, in order to fully defeat the FO and ensure than another Empire doesn't emerge, the good guys have to not only win the conventional war but they also have to win the ideological one. Those that serve the FO need to be shown that they're on the wrong team. It's not just about destroying everyone. It strikes me that conflict alone empowers the Dark Side. So how better to defeat the Dark Side/tame it than by winning over hearts and minds?

But really, a new Republic, a democracy, is the only real worthwhile outcome. Getting into bed with Fascists isn't a story I'd consider worth telling.

 

Bah use your imagination: In TLJ we learn that Rey is Palpatine's grand daughter. Luke realizes that many of the systems there were Imp sympathizers and even some of the 1st Order would prefer Sheeve's dynasty to continue. Afterall Snoke just committed an atrocity that exponentially trumped the Emperor.

Luke spends two movies fighting Snoke and arguing with Leia about a peaceful compromise of a constitutional monarchy with Empress Rey balanced by a the Senate. Maybe Kylo and the Knights of Ren serve as the new guardians.

 

I doubt Snoke will sign a peace treaty.

 

Agreed I doubt he or even Ben would once Ben kills him and takes power but it would be interesting for Luke to be proposing peace against Leia's wish. Once the evil darksiders are defeated peace would be possible.

 

Snoke will never make peace.

 

Agreed but even if the 1st Order has new leaders and shows signs of wanting out of the fight do you think Leia wants to trust a peace accord from them. Especially if they still have demands.

Not that I think its happening I just think its a fun tangent of the Rey Palpatine line of thinking.

 

I hope the Empire/First Order finally end with episode 9 and we get to see new enemies that are not related to either one of them as it will be a bit boring if each new trilogy gives us another version of the Empire. I like the First Order alot but I hope they don't ruin them by overusing the same concept over and over again.

 

I think it's possible if they merge but then there will be lasting piece and no more episode stories to tell

 

Never!

 

In my blunt opinion, The First Order are so hideously evil they don't deserve to exist. I even think The Sith Lords of Old (in the new canon) would agree with me, I doubt they had the technology to destroy basically a whole System of Planets, nor would they want to cuz they knew force is stronger than any superweapon. The First Order are strict adherents of the The Rule Through Fear philosophy, which is a bad governing philosophy, which is arguably what brought down The Empire. To paraphrase Thrawn, some evils have to be hunted down and oblieterated. Which is what the First Order is.
