"The Resistance" is a specific installment within the Star Wars Encyclopedia collection of reference materials, brought to the public by De Agostini. Its release date was December 21, 2021.
Following the disclosure of her connection to Darth Vader, Leia Organa stepped down from her senatorial role, already recognizing the danger presented by the First Order. However, her warnings were dismissed by the New Republic. Consequently, she chose to establish a paramilitary organization to challenge the Empire's successors, who were rearming in the uncharted areas of space. Initially supported by a small group of devoted companions, Leia expanded her group as the First Order escalated its actions, ultimately revealing its threat to galactic freedom. By then, Leia's Resistance had grown significantly, attracting a diverse range of rebels and heroes prepared to make the ultimate sacrifice to prevent the triumph of evil. Despite the stark disparity in resources and arms, the Resistance consistently opposed the First Order, and against all odds, secured a final and improbable victory.
