Like you said, the implication is that Mar-Mas Voor is who masterminded/engineered the Empire's rise to power after it was first established, and Palpatine just sort of f*cked it up on his own over the years with all his seedy villainy and whatnot. That's why she wants him dead in the series' current arc, lol:

...It's basically just a trainwreck at this point. I have no clue what they're even trying to do with current canon at times, because they contradict themselves constantly.
*Didn't spoiler tag the above because the issue came out a few weeks ago.
It's not that stupid, when you think of it. Palps was really overdoing it.
Glad to know there was someone competent behind the scenes, I'm just disappointed to find out it was a woman.

Palps is a competent ruler though, in fact he is very competent.

Extremely so... Even in Disney canon.
That's why the aforementioned scene just reads as extremely inconsistent garbage to me.

But everything in Disney is the same Canon so...
Hmm...it's all very strange. I mean yeah, no one should expect Palps running the whole Empire, but to say he's incompetent and people not liking him...doesn't really add up, the galaxy should love the guy since he brought the Clone Wars to an end, well in their minds.
Hmm...wonder what other potential rumors are about EP 9, might have to go look see..

Honestly it’s kinda impressive at how worse this Canon seems to be going. Like you think it can’t get any worse and yet it just keeps going and going.

I'm worried that we haven't got much info about Rose Tico, one would think that after being stuffed into the plot she'd at least give a semblance of relevance for the third film... I feel cheated

According to the promo material, Rose has been promoted to a military commander as of RoS.
...So she'll be calling the shots from the frontline now, lmao.

How does one go from a maintenance tech to a commander...in what sense does she have to be leading anything?

"Rose has risen through the ranks from lowly engineering support crew, to military commander. She leads the Engineering Corps in making the necessary modifications to keep the Resistance's gear operational, as well as countering new advancements in First Order technology."
Why? Cuz female.

Oooohh...ok that description makes a bit more sense for her field....I guess...it still doesn't make a whole lot of sense given we haven't really seen her do much tech work. But I guess supplement material will fill in those gaps.
I thought you were meaning she was leading troops, that would be bad.
I mean this is still kinda outta nowhere, but it would have helped if the movie showed her doing some tinkering with tech.

That, and there was only like a small handful of Resistance troops left alive after the events of TLJ. I suppose they kind of had to throw one of the survivors a bone with a pity promotion, lol.
Still retarded, because Rose is an absolute pig of a character... But here we are.

Even despite though within the year, they've built up their forces again...but yeah it does seem kinda out there.
