It was basically a soft reboot. It was ok, though after repeated viewings it’s lost impact for me. But the worst tie in to the OT is the Millennium Falcon. It was a piece of junk 30 years earlier and needing constant repairs. Would it really work after sitting around on a desert planet for God Knows how long? Should have been enough to just have original characters

i kind of thought the same that the ship was such a beat up POS junk pile barely kept flying that it was too much of a stretch to still have it in action at that point especially considering its pretty much a civilian warship constantly receiving battle damage on a regular basis

i guess they could have spent a few seconds stating it was completely restored and refitted like new to keep it in the fight, but then maybe the audience is just left to assume something along those lines.

at some point you cant expect everything to be tied in and explained neatly but there needs to be at least a trail of bread crumbs to lead you on a path that makes things make sense for what you are seeing on screen
