A "to scale" scifi/fantasy would quickly become incomprehensible. Place mat maps are still bad, oc.

I assumed that it was a small disc around a star, like a solar system that hasn't formed planets or something. It's spinning really fast if it's meant to be the size of a galaxy.

Does the junior novelization explain how the First Order could afford to develop and build one when the Empire apparently couldn’t?

If you’ve ever actually listened to the Fortnight Address, it’s a colossal nothing and certainly doesn’t belong in the movie, the only baffling thing is why it’s raised as a plot element at all. The Galaxy at large hearing of Palpatine’s return doesn’t really have any impact on the rest of the story, nor does the arbitrary ticking clock element that it introduces.

I am extremely curious how late Palpatine, or at least McDiramid as Palpatine, was added to the script. If you told me he was written in after principal photography had wrapped, I’d believe it.

Wonder if they actually shot those scenes with Dr. Who? Was he supposed to be a younger Palpatine clone? And do the good guys find out about him in the second or third act, instead of reading it in the opening crawl and then farting around for 80 minutes?

It's p funny that when spitballing ideas for the sequel trilogy they probably dismissed "let's just bring palpatine back" early on and decided to invent snoke instead In retrospect we may as well have had sheev the whole time. Just make Max von Sydow say "somehow palpatine returned" in his scene

The fleet Lando gathers is there because they hate Sheev, just a movie earlier they didn't really care when it was just the First Order. Or maybe they didn't come because they hated Leia, who knows.

Disney is progressive enough to show a 2 second lesbian kiss between unnamed characters but also made sure to railroad the black lead away from having a relationship with either a white woman or an Asian woman, toward being with a member of his own race who is implied to be the illegitimate abandoned child of the only other black character in the series. In short, Disney is a land of contrasts.

They desperately tried to distance the movies as far as possible from the prequels at probably the worst possible time, since all the millennials who grew up with them look on them more fondly and the general nerd backlash has faded, as well as all their camp and melodrama combined with familiarity making for wonderful meme fodder. Not to mention given how much the prequels expanded on the larger context, they basically wrote themselves into a corner from the start. They just really committed themselves to so many bad ideas it's frankly impressive.

To RJ’s credit, he recognizes that the prequels raise glaring questions that any sequels must address if the series is to move forward in any meaningful way. What role should the Jedi play in this universe? What can we even hope for the titular, unending Star War to accomplish? To RJ’s discredit, his answers for these are alternatingly unsatisfactory, muddled, or incomplete.

We know the universe by large doesn’t really give a poo poo about wars and politics. One place RoS actually does follow TLJ on is that it does a pretty good job of locking in that the galaxy’s primary political mindset is comparable to the relatively narrow space between, say, Neera Tanden and Bill Kristol. The space brunch crowd, if you will. It’s ok for business to be as disgusting as usual as long as we don’t have to hear about it and its done with decorum. But when suddenly everything becomes impossible to ignore because the guy doing it is saying the quiet parts loud and showing up on
