It can work, sure. I didn't really mind the First Order assumption because I enjoyed TFA at the time. But the sudden departure from what everyone assumed at the end of Return of the Jedi to what we got really called for a bit more examination. It would have served the story better to know more why decisions were made and how and why things happened. Of course that was really glaring due to TLJ sucking so bad in hindsight.

I don't really blame him in ROS either, because he was trying to salvage the suck, but so many questions presented with little or no explanation can make for a confusing movie. It seemed rushed and out of place to have the Emperor there with a legion of Star Destroyers just now surfacing. Why? How? That should always be a part of the story.

it's a bit like when a second Deathstar came from out of nowhere in RotJ. More believable than what happens in Rise of Skywalker, but they establish in the PT that it took 20 years to build the first one. Even if you take into account the time saved by already knowing "how" to build it, building and fitting out a moon-sized space station should take longer than the span of 2-3 years in between ESB and RotJ.
