I’m honestly mostly baffled when people say there’s a disconnect between TFA and TLJ. It’s probably one of the best sequels ever in terms of consistency with its predecessor (while of course also having its own identity).

  • Why is Rey an extraordinary Force-user without any training?
  • Who were the Knights of Ren?
  • Who was Snoke, really?
  • How did the First Order rise from the ashes of the Empire, and under the very nose of the New Republic? After the disastrous reign of Palpatine, why in blue blazes would anyone living in the SW galaxy, especially former Imperials who have a better idea of what was going on, fall under the sway a Sith-type tandem within a mere generation? (Contrast post-war Germany’s rabid anti-Nazi policies and attitude. The EU’s “Imperial Remnant” was much better thought-out and written than what we’ve got in the TFA-TLJ combo pack.)
