Well since this war has literally only lasted like a day or two in universe, I really don’t mind that they haven’t already named it. It’ll probably get an official name after Episode IX.
Not specifically related to Anakin’s comment, but it feels like can’t we have any mystery anymore but instead it’s just a sign of underdevelopment when the people at Lucasfilm don’t want to give people everything at once. It’s like things aren’t moving fast enough for people. If we don’t have all the information and backstory immediately, then it must be a weak story filled with plot holes and a sign that they have no plan.
The First Order’s seemingly infinite resources is a strange topic. I could see the Resistance stumbling upon a Star Forge or something to explain why they don’t bat an eye to the destruction of a literal planet sized system destroyer, a mini Death Star dreadnought, and their capital ship the size of the Netherlands. That would explain a lot. But this is never setup as a mystery, and right now it comes across more as writing incompetence.
The Republic is another faction I wish we had seen more of. The Resistance could meet up with the remnants who explain what it was like, and how there were First Order sympathizers. This is kinda setup with the outer rim allies, but it’s just the outer rim not the core.
So while I’d love to see these in 9, I am doubtful of them considering there hasn’t been any setup so far. Although if J.J. adopts the subversion technique… maybe no setup is a positive?
