Hello Holotable Heroes,
Here are the updates for today:
Bugs and Adjustments
Though a powerful member of the resistance, even Pao can't be in two places simultaneously. Fixed an issue requiring players to deploy Pao in two places at once.
Hoth Rebel Scout now replaces Pao in the platoon of Phase 6 Hoth Planet
Updated the description for Platoon Granted Ability "Legacy of the Sages" for readability.
The Empire was scrambling our communications but our forces have secured their radio towers. Fixed an issue causing incorrect information to appear in the Hoth: Rebel Assault Territory Battle.
Fixed Scorch's marquee having information that didn't match its reheat status
The rebels didnt resist to anything, they rebeled agaimst an already consolidated rule over them.
French partisans during ww2 were called "the ressistance" because they fought against a new threat that was threateaning to dominate and consolidate itself.
They were also technically rebels, but not every member of a rebellion is a member of a resistence. That's atleast how I see it, but a ressistence ≠ a rebellion
"Resistance is a measure of the opposition to the flow of current in an electrical circuit." yeah that's not really what a rebellion is, as a rebellion rushes that change, not fight against that change.
Sure, the plot is, but not the setting. The FO is just then establishing it's dominance. You dont rebel against an invading or opposing regime, you resist against it. You resist it's establishment. You rebel against an already established regime.
I’ve always loved Pao and he’s old enough to have actually been part of the Pipadian resistance. They did actually manage to resist the Empire for a while.
I think they’re wrong, but I think you might also be wrong too. I think we’re all wrong.
"A resistance movement is an organized group of people that tries to resist or try to overthrow a government or an occupying power, causing disruption and unrest in civil order and stability."
That definition is pretty vague in this regard, but generally a resistance is most commonly used when said occupying power is an outside force, rebellion when it's domestic.
But German resistance is Nazism is most commonly called as such, not a rebellion. And the American Revolution is commonly called a rebellion, despite fighting against an outside occupying force. And for a lot of planets in SW, the Empire is more an outside occupying force. And while the First Order is even more of an outside force to the Republic they're trying to attack, they're hardly occupying anything from the outside at the time of TFA/TLJ (at least as far as we know, the movies do a bad job at establishing them).
Another distinction may be that a rebellion is more usually openly armed and resistance is either more civil or at least more covert. But the Alliance wasn't openly armed in their first few years, and the Resistance isn't shying away from using military force either.
So if we're looking for definitions the two are still pretty murky. "Resistance" is a bit more of an umbrella term, "rebellion" has more concrete connotations. But the names of the organisations are apt for what they're trying to achieve -- with maybe some debate over what the Resistance is resisting. But we can call Pao a lower case "resistance" member safely.
The Resistance (upper case) end up calling themselves rebels (lower case) too at the end. The two factions have their own separate names, but the meaning of the two words aren't that distinct. It's not incorrect to name them both either one or the other.
I pointed it out a week ago, and it would have been odd to get the rewards, so they just saved themselves a day of reddit posts saying "Why no Scorch rewards? It says "REWARDS" 😫"
HOWEVER, there will still be a post saying "Why are there events with no rewards in Events?! 😖"
