      I feel that's almost the opposite, Rey is much more likely to know a major historical figure from 30 years ago than Kirk is from 300.

      I agree she has ways of knowing Palps by the time she meets him, but I'd disagree on it being more likely she knows him than Kirk knowing Khan. Record keeping in Star Trek is a lot stricter, and Kirk is academy-educated and grew up in wealth.

      The whole history of the planet she lives on was determined by the Civil War between the Rebels and the Empire, and the Empire was a despotic government completely centered on Palpatine

      It would be extremely weird for her to have no idea who he was when she lives in the shadow of an Imperial Star Destroyer and her whole living is scavenging Imperial tech

      Really the issue here is the reverse - the AUDIENCE is much less familiar with the name "Palpatine" based on the onscreen content of the movies than the characters logically should be The name isn't spoken at all in the OT, because Lucas irl hadn't settled on the details

      IIRC it's in the novelization of the original SW, the one he actually wrote, which I had as a kid. It's in a short prologue page that sets the stage (also indicates he was a weak politician influenced by corrupt advisors, so definitely before he hashed the mastermind stuff out)

      Yeah was gonna say I grew up in the 80s and 90s knowing the Emperor's name was Palpatine long before the prequels but that was because I was an ubernerd

      I don't remember there being anything about the EMPEROR being a Sith Lord until the prequel movies though, even once I knew that Vader was. There was no rule of two pre-1999. The emperor was an evil force user who corrupted Vader; Vader was the Sith lord

      The whole Darth-as-title thing didn't exist until the prequels either as far as I can recall

      This did necessitate some furious retconning of why all the ancient Sith Lords established in the EU (Freedon Nadd, Exar Kun, Marka Ragnos) did not have "Darth" names

          To be fair, I think Lucas intended Bane to be the one who started the tradition. Veitch said he ran every plot point in Tales of the Jedi by Lucas. It was one of the few EU things (along with Shadows of the Empire, Clone Wars, and The Force Unleashed) he took an interest in.

          It was only with KotOR (which Lucas wasn't involved in) that the idea that *ancient Sith also* used the title got introduced.

          KotOR was the first EU source to use "Darth" as a title and vaguely implied it may have been something Darth Revan invented, being the title of the leader of the Rakatan Infinite Empire that he stole when he took the Star Forge But later EU stuff messed that up

          Replying to @arthur_affect @Sarcasmorator and

          Isn't it supposed to be something invented by the Sith Empire, as opposed to Korriban-native Sith who had lost the way, and yes, brought back by Revan/Malak?

          (For the non-KOTOR/SWTOR players: the Old Republic era was based on comics originally, nobody was a Darth and the Sith were from Korriban, which is still a canon place. Turned out there was a Sith Empire located basically where Exogol is in current canon, who used Darth)
