If the rag tag group was not being funded somehow, they'd be dead. There is no way they'd be able to fight any group with even the slightest amount of military funding. It'd be like Cuba going after the US.

I guess that is another reason why Star Wars is such a stupid series.

Well, yes, I agree with you, SW is stupid. But it doesn't make your arguments not stupid, either.

PS: They ARE being funded, but it's nothing like a proper publicly-funded standing army.

You do know that paramilitary funding isn't an all-or-nothing type of thing. Leaving aside that there is a much smaller gap between military and civilian technology in the Star Wars universe (as there was as recently as the 1990s on Earth, it is only in the last fifteen years that military tech has so vastly-and worryingly- outstripped civilian technology) which makes it easier for guerrillas to bridge the gap with scrappy tech and hit and run tactics. Even a beaten up piece of old shit like the Falcon can outfly and outfight Imperial tech in the original trilogy.

They can have enough funding for operations without having enough left over for research, development, production, and testing.

Also they aren't above just stealing ships to augment their forces. Which is pretty canon since we see it in the old EU and in the new EU. And I'm pretty sure the Imperial shuttle they use to fly down to Endor was likely stolen as well.
