  I was screaming at him through the TV. It&apos;s people like Xiono that are the reason The New Republic fell so quickly.

  My favorite is they didn’t have the resources to help Hera but sent three Capital ships to get her once they found she was AWOL. 😂

  The problem with Mon Mothma is she always thought everything could be solved through politics. Even after the Empire rose she still thought she could reason with Palpatine. It’s only after she is shown how foolish that line of thinking is does she focus on fighting…but still beyond reluctant to do so.

  My Xiono hottake: &quot;Huh, turns out Borsk Fey&apos;lya was actually a Vietnamese dude this whole time. I guess the &quot;fuzzy space mouse&quot; thing was just a cosplay.&quot;

  The one good thing that came out of him was Kazuda Xiono. However, the problem with Hamato Xiono is we barely know the guy or his motivations. For all we know, Hamato Xiono could have been one of many senators who was inspired by Senator Padme Amidala&apos;s speech during the Clone Wars regarding how the Republic should be spending its resources on helping its citizens, not military operations. He is more of a politician who dislikes war and sees it as senseless violence that endangers innocent people like his family. Also, from Resistance, his uniform looks a bit more militaristic as if some event changed him to be more active off-world to help the New Republic and its defense organizations. Overall, the New Republic should use every opportunity it could get to help people across the Galaxy rather than prep for another war even if the latter option is the most logical and pragmatic approach due to the Known Galaxy being part of a story that is literally called STAR WARS. I agree that the New Republic&apos;s beginnings reminded me of the United States of America in its infancy following the end of the American Revolution and how they sought to be neutral to help build America into a strong, independent nation.

  This is a writing problem as much as anything. For example, Hera had access to Huyang&apos;s very detailed scans of the Eye of Sion to present as proof of stolen hardware being used. She also proved that the military hardware was being stolen from Republic shipyards. Her mistake was even letting Xiono bring up Thrawn or Ezra. Hera should have thrown back at him that unknown parties were stealing military assets from the New Republic. A simple reminder of history: the Clone Wars did <b>not</b> begin on Geonosis. They began a decade earlier when a <b>shipping company</b> decided that they could refit their cargo freighters into battleships and conquer Naboo. Indeed, making the threat more nebulous like that would help scare more Senators with the possibility that it wouldn&apos;t take an Imperial Remnant to destabilize the Republic. A rogue corporation could do it, and <b>had</b> done it within many Senators&apos; lifetimes.

  Tbh, i feel he is the canon version of Borsk Fey&apos;lah. &nbsp;He went head to head with Leia in the Legends and you get a glimpse of this when 3PO showed up in this episode.

  Nelson Lee is doing an amazing job. I&apos;m hating Senator Xiono, but I&apos;m loving Lee&apos;s portrayal of him.

  I mean, in resistance, he&apos;s implied to be a First Order sympathizer, so, he&apos;s probably imp friendly

  When i first saw that character, i said to myself “what, has that generation tech guy gotten a role in star wars” but now that i see them side by side, it’s clear tha Xiono is a bit older.
