I know its not the sort of sci-fi that is supposed to make sense, but the premise of Star Wars is so silly that any thought around it breaks the universe.
What I am talking about is the size of the empire. George Lucas wanted to make an all powerful enemy and never put any thought into what he was writing.
The empire is a galactic empire that rules over millions of star systems. Even if the resistance was a million strong, they still wouldnt be a blip of the radar of the empire. Even if 90% of the planets under the empires control was just small backwater planets, the rest of the 10% would still be enough to field hundreds of millions of soldiers.
The empire controlled 1.5 million planets, which means that even if the resistance claimed 5 planets on the daily, it would still take hundreds of years to make a dent in the empire.
I think Lucas was completely ignorant on space and never considered what he was writing. It makes all stories of resistance, like Andor and the original trilogy, pointless. They could realistically never do anything.
