The thing is they missed an opportunity with the Star Destroyers. Because of the size of the fleet, they could have had each stationed in every system, waiting to fire. Wouldn’t that have been interesting? If we saw the “people” rising up to fight across the galaxy, rather than just on Exegol? It would have made the pay off (Star Destroyers falling over various planets) make more sense.
Speaking of, what a massive whiff to not have one of the prequel planets in that montage. They literally had three planets (Bespin, Endor, Jakku), it was right there for them to do one from each trilogy.
Yes. The “Battle of Exogel” was a pretty lame final fight for the saga: a galaxy-wide fight would have been pretty cool, and provide natural fanservice for every star wars movie (ex: show Naboo, Kamino, Kashyyk, Tatooine, Bespin, Endor, Jakku, and Canto Bight as having their own battles).
