Where the fuck were these guys when Vader threw him into the Death Star reactor? Have these guys always been available to him, even since the prequels? The implications of all this just screws up so much of the lore.

According to some lore (this I get second hand, cause I’m a nerd but not that much of a nerd), apparently yes. Vader knew about Exogol (the weird Sith planet thing) the whole time. He also has been said to have visited Luke after his death so yeah, he just kinda forgot to mention it.

My favourite part about this weird new Star Wars lore? Canonically, Kylo Ren turns to full emo Darth Vader fanboy because someone discovers Leia was Vader’s daughter and starts a smear campaign about her, which means Kylo learns about his grandfather from Space Fox News, which causes him to be angry at his parents. This is the actual canon.
