It wasn’t jarring though. The glaring issue is that they borrowed their main villain reveal from a comic line that was not that popular to begin with. Nobody ever really liked Palps returning even before it was on the silver screen. He had six films lets move on to the One Sith. TFA was a perfect opener to the trilogy, though. Love it.
Completely agree palps should’ve been left in the reactor of the 2nd death star.
For all the world universe building, we see precious little of it outside of the legends novels.
I was interested and excited during TFA, but the macguffin chase and nostalgia dump made it feel less of a movie and more like filler setting the stage. What came after was what really disappointed.
