There only 13 mother *** Super Star Destroyers! This is unexceptionable! Remember Han Solo in ROTJ comments on Vaders command ship too Luke when they are in the shuttle, "Don't worry theirs lots of Command ships..." 13 isn't a lot.

It's more than the number of ships unambiguously identified as Executor-class in the old EU. 20-odd was the estimated total number in The Essential Guide to Warfare - to allow for new stories to add some.

There were a number of other Star Dreadnoughts and Battlecruisers above 4 and 8 km in length to very between Command ships and the Kuat/Fondor's own personal Defense fleet battleships. The reason why the Empire finally lost so badly (besides plot favoritism) is because the Emperor shot himself in the foot with errant Super weapons during Operation Shadowhand, as well as his massive hardon for finding a replacement for Vader. A massive portion of the Imperial fleet was above Byss when the Gravity Gun missfired from the Eclipse ramming it.

Regardless, the Imperial Fleet after Endor in the new canon is severely depleted and a lot smaller. There is a lot more error to go on with mass defections and civil uprising. The timeframe for the Imperial Surrender is a lot shorter, more poorly written, and more nuanced than the Pellaeon–Gavrisom Treaty, as well as more negatively impacting (Pallaeon never surrendered). It was probably written intentionally to justify the FO buildup much like the German humiliation and anger that led to another disaster after the first WW.

Thrawn is canon now, and apparently he was a Grand Admiral before A New Hope. This is awesome, but at the same time It's terrible because that means he is either likely to be short-lived, or will fail miserably and be unworthy of even being mentioned. I say this because other books are mentioning former military leaders fairly often, and when someone huge gets their first appearance in the PAST, well you can't retroactively add them to books that already came out but are set in the future.

Or, he could end up being "exiled" by Palpatine to patrol the Unknown Regions, as a cover for an actual more secret mission. Just like what happened to him in the old Legends backstory. And maybe in this version after Palpatine dies, Thrawn links up with Snoke.

Yes but its annoying that none of the other types of SSS are mentioned.

I think the newcanon will be going with "battlecruisers aren't SSDs any more" - in The Levers of Power (short story) - there's only one SSD at Endor - the Executor - but there is also at least one battlecruiser at Endor - the Pride of Tarlandia.

That just leaves the question of "will they include other Star Dreadnoughts and avoid calling them SSDs?"

The "children" line, noting that I haven't read anything for the new Star War, may be referring to Rey, but not her actually being a biological child. It could be referring to what happens after The Force Awakens, i.e. Leia becomes a mother figure to Rey in the same way Han became sort of became her father figure.

Again, the scene the book described is pretty much Padme from ROTS. Dying. And a surprise twin.

And I'm not sure what the inconsistency is with Leia's role. Lost some political capital, but she had 20 years to regain it by the time Bloodline happened.
