Honestly Ian McDiarmid hamming out is the best gift Star Wars has ever given us. The man's straight up fun to watch go into full cackling villain mode.

Yeah, if anyone deserves a D+ series and 3M/ep it's McDiarmid.

Ideally it's an Armando Iannucci running a Thick of It/Veep series of Senator Sheev during the run up to O66.

I talked about this too! Sci-fi movies are usually pretty bad about logistics, but this one was so bad that even someone who doesn't know poo poo about war could probably smell something off.

1. Where did this crew come from? Each Star Destroyer takes thousands of crewmembers and all of them are wearing brand new First Order uniforms. Did they know they were working for Palpatine? Did they just think it was some weird off-world assignment? And how long were they there? Did the guys who get recruited early have to spend years sitting around bullshitting until it was time for them to go and they're all middle-aged now? Were they waiting in the ships underwater for Palpatine to raise them at a suitably dramatic moment? Was there one bridge crew that got really drunk the night before because they didn't think anything was happening and they showed up hungover in their PJs? Because that poo poo happened with the Luftwaffe once and it's hilarious to read.

The crews are all Snoke.

2. Do they get regular shipments of supplies (food, power cells, spare parts, entertainment options, etc.) or do they produce it on Exegol?

Hundreds of thousands of Snoke artisans keep the base running.

3. If they do produce it on Exegol, what's it like? Do these farms and factories all have the same Sith aesthetic with statues and lightning and creepy hooded dudes staring at you when you work, or is it like Disney where you open a door in the queue and there's just these regular hallways with fluorescent lights and Sith motivational posters? Or a little cartoon Palpatine-on-a-stick on every safety sign. If Kylo Ren went through the wrong door trying to find Palpatine at the beginning, would he have accidentally walked into a dressing room or cafeteria?

It's like that scene from Clones, but the clones are Snoke. All the people in that arena are also Snokes.

But the first order have windows.

Space can be quite bright, and First Order workplace safety regulations ban looking out the window.
