So now that ROS has dropped are we assuming that the dark force that Sidious heard calling to him from the Unknown regions were the Sith followers on Exegol?

Also;
in the TLJ book it is implied that Snoke is who rescued the Imperials who fled into the Unknown Regions and started forming them into the first Order. But now that we know Sidious created Snoke or whatever, is there any better answer for HOW the Imperials were able to survive in the Unknown?

Yeah Abrams retconned a lot...

So much for Disneys Everything is equal Canon.

At least the old canon tier system was honest that the movies can override anything.

I mean, we have to expect this sort of thing. No Canon is perfect.

Though it's funny that people were happy with the doing away of the Old Canon system, because of the contradictions...yet that's exactly what's happening now, just with there no levels of it.

Even worse so, given they flat out ignore the movies too.

Exegol is fully enveloped in the dark side, and there were seemingly hundredS of Sith loyalists living there who obviously played a major role in Palpatine's story after RotJ, and sought the Sith Empire's return/galactic domination. Makes sense that Palpatine would've been so fixated on finding it...

It was the culmination of knowledge between Thrawn and the "Navigators".

Thrawn mapped out much of the Unknown Regions for Palpatine, but because he went missing around the time of ANH, the information he provided was incomplete.

Once the Imperial remnants traveled into the Unknown Regions in the wake of Operation Cinder, they were further assisted/saved by the ancient Navigators, who were employed by Snoke, and finished charting the remaining pathways through the UR -- this is all still stated in Ultimate Star Wars: New Edition, which is part of the "Journey to RoS" material. So it's fully canon.

And Palpatine creating Snoke doesn't preclude the notion that Snoke still helped save the Imperial remnants after Palpatine's 'death'. We still don't know *when* Palpatine first created Snoke -- it could have been YEARS prior to even TCW for all we know(he did watch the Empire rise and fall, after all.)

Yeah but its always the movies doing the retconning, and the novels and comics trying their best to align canon with the films.
