Yes, except none of that is developed on screen. You'd only know any of that if you were really into the books that bridge the movies.
The Mandalorien's third season was pretty bad, but they had that random episode that showed the republic operation paper clip-ing imperials and one old rich guy who jokes he can never tell the difference between republic/empire/new-republic.
that episode actually gave me the ick, the old rich guy joking about the lack of difference between the republic/empire/new republic is good, but the operation paperclip stuff kinda sucked imo because it was like a reverse operation paperclip and the whole episode was like "Mengele just wants to do clone research for the good of society but these shortsighted liberals in the new republic won't let him!" when in reality immediately post WW2 the allies were funding the shit out of all of these nazi researchers and giving them citizenship lmao
showing the new republic immediately rehabilitate imperial research would have both been apt to the Weimar Republic meets post-9/11 America metaphor of the prequels, and would have made the first order make a little more sense
