Question
I don't know what all these Star Wars symbols mean...
Answer
Like emblems in our world, the symbols allow you to tell which organization someone has pledged his or her allegiance to with a quick glance. Star Wars - Rebel Alliance Symbol 1. Rebel Alliance (good guys) The Rebel Alliance stood against the Galactic Empire in the original trilogy and after years of fighting, the Rebellion eventually signed a concordance with the Empire. Their symbol, a starbird, is most often spotted on pilots' helmets and can also be seen on uniforms on the Resistance base in The Force Awakens. The design may have roots in the phoenix/starbird graffiti Sabine Wren leaves behind in Star Wars Rebels. Star Wars - Imperial Symbol 2. Galactic Empire (bad guys) When Palpatine formed the Empire, he adopted a different version of the Galactic Republic's crest. The new cog with six spokes was used throughout the organization. It's visible on uniforms, flags, and even propaganda posters. The symbol is associated with the might of the Empire, and its presence on a world signifies Imperial control. In other words, the Empire knew how to brand itself. The Force Awakens - First Order stormtroopers 3. First Order (newer bad guys) After the defeat of the Second Death Star at the Battle of Endor, the New Republic was formed, though not everyone wanted peace. The First Order rose from the ashes of the Empire. Like the Imperial cog, the First Order's new insignia is prominently featured on uniforms and displays throughout their operations. Star Wars - Galactic Republic Symbol 4. Galactic Republic (before the Empire). Palpatine dismantled the Galactic Senate and the Empire took control of what was once the Republic. Star Wars - Jedi Order Symbol 5. Jedi Order The Jedi Order was all about peace until the Clone Wars. Though a few Jedi survived Order 66, the Jedi Order as it was in the days of the Republic is no more. Their symbol of wings & what looks like a shining light represents their role and beliefs.
