Star Wars Episode 9: 15 Big Questions From Everything We Know So Far
13. Will The Resistance Get Much Help?
The Last Jedi ended with the Resistance escaping the First Order, but still in a very depleted state. No one answered their call for help, and all they had left was one ship full of rebels, which - despite Leia saying they have everything they need - isn't really enough for warfare.
A slight time jump should help in that regard though, allowing news of Luke Skywalker's return to spread further and ignite some more hope in the galaxy, leading to more and more people joining the Resistance.
We know that Lando will be back to help, but he's going to need to bring all of Cloud City and then some. There isn't too much scope for new characters, but the Resistance still needs a helping hand, and with Lando and Leia around you'd think people might be willing to fight back.
