This is not really a big deal whatsoever, but something I wanted to share with y’all.
I like it when edits don’t necessarily contradict secondary/tertiary material like the books, tv shows, etc., and while the Starkiller Restructure is a big change, I don’t think it is a big contradiction to the rest of canon, beyond the TFA novelizations.
It looks like, though, that we will be seeing a hologram of the Hosnian destruction in the Resistance tv show down the road, and we will see Hux give his speech right before it.

Again, not a big deal. It’s a tv show aimed at younger audiences. Although you could hand-wave it and just say that the First Order just replayed Hux’s speech before showing the Hosnian destruction. That works for me. Though I’m sure other things will pop up that could contradict it.
I’m sure it is not a big deal to you, Hal, especially since you had Padme live at the end of ROTS! Just thought I would mention. I personally think the change is worth it, and any contradictions in other material can just be rationalized or ignored.
