Yeah there will be a gap of time leading into this, unlike TFA and TLJ. I heard something like 5 years somewhere but maybe I'm misremembering or what I read was crap. That chart with the timeline would give some indication. Looks like both sides beefed up on their respective fleets either way. I hope they explain and give some context rather than just creating armies out of thin air for the sake of it.
I suspect Sidious and Ren cross paths (whether physically or by hologram/force ghost) following TLJ and it will be revealed that Palp has been growing his own forces and played some hand behind the scenes in everything that has happened otherwise it'll come across as more of a forced last minute throw in for nostalgia. I believe he created Rey, maybe a few versions of her and this hero Rey was a defective clone or something.
Who knows, could go so many ways but that would explain her seeing a projection of herself in a line in the cave when she was looking to find her family. That's the hope, cause then something in TLJ will actually make sense in the larger scope of the story
I'm also pretty certain that that is new dialogue from Palpatine which is sweet. I'd really like him to appear in physical form since macdermid is a treat to watch.
