Assuming she only knows what she knew before the beginning of TFA also ignores everything she learns both on and off screen over the course of the next two films.

Fair, she'll probably have had history lessons, and the Jedi texts have information (how that info is still valid after all that time is a different topic).

But I feel they still responded too personally, as if they knew him, not as if they've been told about him in a history lesson.

Keep in mind that Rey, at least, knew the name "Darth Sidious" offhand when Luke started quoting cynical /r/StarWars threads in TLJ

Lord, I’d forgotten that Johnson wrote that goofy-ass terrible prequel name into TLJ. The scene as executed is so good (particularly how Hamill sells it), but yeah can’t really complain about them assuming ppl know obscure shit after that lol

Him using the name "Darth Sidious" actually has pretty big plot implications - back in the prequels the whole deal was the Jedi knew Darth Sidious was the name of the Separatists' mysterious backer and Count Dooku/Darth Tyranus and Darth Maul's mentor

For Luke to casually namedrop "Sidious" to mean "Palpatine" means that whole conspiracy - where Palpatine actually started the war he got all the credit for saving the Republic from - is now public historical knowledge

Curious what the in-universe explanation for that would be. Yoda, Bail, or Obi-wan write it up and store it in R2's memory banks or what?

My headcanon is Luke himself did the digging, or at least was the first one to put together the pieces that other people did the digging for

But yeah R2 holds some of the records, Bail probably told at least part of the story to Leia (but leaving out enough so she doesn't know she's Vader's daughter) Jar Jar was around for Padme's death and may have heard clues

Chewbacca helped Yoda escape Order 66 and probably knows quite a lot, for those who can speak Shyriwook
