Just seeing the opening crawl start up unceremoniously with "KYLO REN IS GOING TO SEE EMPEROR PALPATINE" is so weird, I get that they showed him laughing in a trailer but the movies couldn't even re-introduce him a better way than with a boring matter-of-fact title crawl? I was like "wait wtf, did I miss the ending of the last movie?"

Imagine being 12 years old seeing this movie and you haven't seen the prequels and you don't know who palpatine is.

Also, can somebody explain how Kylo Ren knew to go and find Palpatine, and how he got his wayfinder, and if he came in there knowing anything about Palpatine? Bc I missed that

Is that literally how Episode 9 starts?

It doesn't surprise me I guess, they locked all the backstory of Episode 7 behind a book. Going in blind that movie made very little sense.

What was in the book? The story made plenty enough sense to me but some extra backstory still would have been cool

As far as I'm aware, key things like how the First Order came to be a thing, how the Republic was rebuilt, why the Republic doesn't take the First Order threat seriously, shit like that.

Pretty important details that a viewer needs to be aware of if they want to care about things like (ep 7 spoilers) the fact that the Republic planet got destroyed, because they just kind of threw that detail in there after the fact in the movie. Otherwise it's just a sloppily written rehash of Episode 4 and not a standalone fully baked continuation of the story from 6.
