All of those inconsistencies come from conflicts with the EU. Disney was pretty clear that they had no intention to maintain consistency with the EU.

Except it also raises the question: why did they not do the same in RotJ with the shield of the 2nd Deathstar? Instead of risking the lives of so many people, why not jump that captured Lambda, filled to the brink with explosives inside the shield, aimed at the generator on the moon?

Honestly, also given Rey's and Kylo Ren's Force abilities, it seems to me Disney just goes for the cool factor, consistency with anything be damned.

Because it was a bad idea. Star Wars has always played fast and loose with their physics, but it was made pretty clear in the movie that jumping from hyperspace through a shield was a pretty crazy thing to do. Han also pointed out that it would work on the specific shields on the Star Killer, I don't remember the technobable he used but he did talk about the shields that teh Star Killer had specifcally.

If that isn't enough I could make up reasons why it wouldn't work on the RotJ Deathstar, maybe it since it wasn't a planet itself, you couldn't get teh data on exactly where it would be, and plotting the course would be too hard, or maybe being right next to Endor would mess things up. I'm not saying these are the reasons, I am just saying we could make some up if we needed them.

As for Disney going for cool factor over consistency, just looking at movies here, they did at least as good of a job as Lucas. Lucas gave Jedi the ability to run super fast, but only when trying to get away from destroyer droids, not when you need to get through those shieldy things so that Darth Maul doesn't get the opportunty to fight you one at a time... and kill your master.

Well one thing for sure there wasn't much fighters so not much new for X-wing. Maybe a command shuttle and those troop transports but other than that nothing else.

The Senate isn't on Coruscant any longer.

Well didn't Coruscant get Blown Away along with the rest of the Core Worlds? It shows planets getting blown up but it doesn't exactly explain or show which planets got spaced nuked by the star killer.

it doesn't exactly explain or show which

it's a film weakest spot, it's SO CRUMPED that it needs a ton of extra out-of film explanations.

or an editors cut with 8 hours of filming.

Han mentioned the shields flicker - remember this is a massive shield - larger than anything ever in the movies. The Deathstar shields were miniscule next to this planetary shield. The shield possibly doesn't cover the whole planet at the same time. Rather the shields themselves move at a speed faster than what most ship travel around the planet (sort of how a monitor refreshes it's image). Han isn't going tru the shield, he's going tru a fast moving gap in the shield.

It wasn't Coruscant. Poe says the system name in the briefing. And it was only one star system hit. Planet and moons or multiple planets in the same system.

Hosnian System. I believe Corusant may still be in the Imperial Remnant's hands.

The New Rebpublics senate was on Chandrilla then moved to Hosnian later.
