No excuse bro. Even in ANH we had Tarkin say the Imperial Senate has been dissolve and the regional governors now have direct control of their territories. I mean we get a nice idea of the state of the galaxy with the meeting of the Joint Chiefs.
You get no information at all about the Republic or the treaty between the Republic and the First Order. Shit that would literally take a sentence to explain.
It's not. It's just a kind of a gimmick to give R2 more than just a 'hello'. The same with 3PO's red arm: that had absolutely no purpose at all. All it does is raise the question: why does he have a red arm? Simply because he makes such a point about it himself. And later even says: yes, I should put back by own arm? I mean: what's this???
They might just as well have had them there working among the other personnel. Now it's just weird. But okay, it's very short. So it's not bothersome.

He never said anything about the leg though. And to assume that Solo wouldn't recognise him because he has a red arm is also kinda dumb.
extremely dumb. almost as dumb as thinking that surrender to the empire was a perfectly acceptable alternative in extreme circumstances. going so far as to suggest that they may be gracious enough to
anyway they certainly could have picked a funnier and more clever way for 3p0 to annoy han.
