      Palps: "I embody all the Sith before me" Rey: "Who? what's a sith? Who are you? How do I even know you're actually my family?" *sticks a lightsaber through his face*

      Classic JJ Abrams then. "I am KHAN." "Nice to meet you, Khan." Seriously, that name means nothing in the context of that story.

      But it means something to the AUDIENCE and as we know evoking paratext emotion is more important than narrative

      So, I had less problem with that in Wrath of Khan than I do with TRoS. Because in the movie, people either already know about him from their history books, or they react as if it's any other name for a dangerous person. Rey responds as if she's known that name all her life.

      Replying to @chton @Plutoburns and

      It's fine using a character the audience knows in order to evoke emotion, but in the case of TRoS the characters respond like the audience does, not like an actual in-world character would. They genuinely respond as if they've watched the original trilogy.

      I don’t understand this criticism. Why would people not know who the Senator who took control of the Republic as a dictator and ruled it as a fascist Empire for decades was? What evidence is there to suggest people wouldn’t know who he is?

      That was 30 years before, and someone like Rey has been living as a scavenger on a remote desert planet for decades. Even if she knows the name, do you think she'd know what a Sith is? what danger they pose? Even the very concept of a Jedi was reduced to legend already.

      Palpatine was the Emperor of the entire galaxy, come on You're conflating different things - the REASON the Jedi faded into myth and legend is that he deliberately replaced them with a massive personality cult centered on himself

      I mean tbf it's not clear how much most of the galaxy noticed. Like we get a lot of variance between "the Empire is right overhead!" and "we are a peaceful village who probably have had relatively limited outside contact for *centuries*"

      Tatooine is supposed to be as "far from the bright center of the universe" as it gets and still has to deal with Imperial garrisons Like that's kind of the point of the Empire, they're reforming the Old Republic by replacing their policy of benign neglect with imposed order

      That said, Luke may have been exaggerating how much of a worthless shithole planet Tatooine is in his conversation with 3PO because he's unhappy
