That’s a running theme in the ST, mixed signals, and confusing messages. The FO get their home base blown up, yet it doesn’t stop them from walking all over the NR and the Resistance in a matter of days. They reign according to the opening crawl, yet they apparently do not yet control the all the major systems. The rebels are reduced to a few people on board a space cruiser, yet they have everything they need, and are the spark that will light the fire yada yada. Luke went looking for the first Jedi Temple, seemingly leaving a map to his location, yet he only went there to die, and doesn’t want to be found. Rey is a novice, and not a Jedi, yet she has most if not all of a Jedi’s powers, and is continually referred to as Kylo Ren’s equal in the light, Kylo who by Snoke’s own admission has completed his training, and is now the big bad after taking his master’s place. All the elements of the OT are deliberately repurposed, but they are mixed up, and executed in a shoddy manner imo by taking narrative short cuts, compressing time scales, and by putting the cart before the horse.
