Well, in Canon, Ryloth was smart enough to avoid joining the Resistance in their gang war with the First Order. That way they were able to preserve their independence, which was a first in thousands of years.

^Thanks, but I meant the show Resistance. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

Same thing applies, after they were freed from the Empire, they had no interest in the galactic equivalent of globalism. They became isolationists.

^O.k, that makes sense. Thanks!
