@kdazrael shhhhhh I want to continue this but long tumblr threads are gross

Ok, ok, this thread is getting ridiculously long but I still have a millionty-one things to ponder. I do think a lot about what it was like to grow up in the unknown regions, probably in some kind of hollow shell of post-Imperial culture (like, there are still military academies, but no-one is really sure what they’re training these kids for anymore except to reflect some past glory). And all the planets are shitty and only barely livable for humans (my headcanon is that Hux hates being on a planet because 1) stuck in an orbit and can blow up; 2) full of sand and shitty fauna, not sleek and hermetically sealed like his lovely destroyer; 3) gingers and sunlight are not friends).

Other main ponderable: who funds the First Order? I think it’s a combination of revenue streams: 1) stuff they mine/steal from vulnerable planets in the outer rim/unknown regions; 2) dodgy deals with smugglers and other galactic scumbags (protection rackets maybe? Brendol is especially disappointed about this) 3) support from wealthy crypto-Empire families in the Core.  

So I’m just gonna screech incoherently and roll around for a while okay because I HAVE SO MANY FIRST ORDER FEELINGS HELP
