Who the gently caress is even financing and building these gigantic gently caress off entire space navies and multiple planet sized killer space stations which alone have to be manned by imperial forces in the hundreds of thousands of not millions, let alone the logistics behind supplying these things, all within the span of a few decades?

I mean it would take hundreds of trillions of people and the destruction of entire solar systems worth of resources just to build these things, and that's assuming they can be put together that fast in the first place

And I don't just mean the death star/star killer bases.
I mean the hundreds of apparent Star destroyers and Imperator class behemoth things like the emperor uses

Not to mention that by the time Kylo rolls around, all the star destroyers look different, so they apparently scrapped the entire imperial fleet because he wanted the new Fall '33 ABY body styles. So they rebuilt the entire goddamn imperial navy for no loving reason like 20 years after the height of it's power under the emperor, who, ALSO apparently destroyed the entire Republican fleet to build his Space Triangles

I feel like TLJ kinda tried to touch on this with the stuff about the war profiteers, but it wasn’t cool or interesting and didn’t really go anywhere.

No, but they could have a stuffy imperial officer talking to an admiral prior to the start of 'a scene' once or twice a film saying
'Sir, we've already reduced the Butt system to cinders and...'put down' the 'workers strike'. However the empire cannot provide the fleet more support at this time... And frankly sir..." Before they get shushed

And boom you lay out how they're doing it and that there's at least some internal pressure there.

But. Star Warps

"It's been eighteen hours."

"Yes. Yes it loving has. Eighteen hours of 'lightsaber nun-chucks', and 'gun that shoots lightsabers', and 'let's just do Maul's double-ended one again, I love double-ended!', and 'lightsaber, but it's orange, we haven't seen an orange one before'. All of you better start taking this poo poo seriously, or you're gonna be here for eighteen more."

".... Two lightsabers, together?"

"What? How does that work, and what good is it?"

"Two lightsabers. But together. Cut twice as hard. Maybe they can flick, like a giant butterfly knife, and now it's double-ended??"

"Ladies and gentlemen, we just saved Star Wars."

I mean...there certainly is a bit in TLJ where a workers’ strike is put down by brute force. It’s just one of the good guys doing it and the scene is played for comedy.

Light saber but the blades only come out after you throw it and they are tiny and also it's a gyroscope balanced ninja throwing star that screams like a wounded r2d2 every time it's thrown.

The first time it's thrown it's sliced in half and sputters to death with a sad, sparking droid noise as extremely loud sad star Wars music plays

And by freaking out I mean 'not going to watch this mess until it's on Netflix or something'.

What if she starts off with the saber extended as a bo, and then snaps it into that format and it results in a HILARIOUS Three Stooges moment where whoever she's fighting puts their thumb on their nose and does a finger waggle at her and then pokes her in the eye between the two blades

One of the good things the EU in the books did was have an "Imperial Remnant" of various factions who all claimed dominion over the remains of the Empire after the death of the Emperor. They ruled little fiefdoms and commanded fleets of various sizes and the new Republic had to deal with them with a combo of diplomacy and outright war to get re-established.
