This is kind of another example of you projecting this ridiculous notion that you know or feel exactly what is or isn't cannon with any given franchise and that everyone else is wrong. In this case they aren't. The Empire had published materials about them coming out for over 30 years detailing various things they did after Return of the Jedi ended. Novels, games, comics, all OFFICIALLY sanctioned by Lucasfilm and recognized for that span of time. Their history stretched hundreds of years after Return of the Jedi as well.

Even before Disney & Marvel wiped the expanded universe out, the Empire existed. And clearly they exist now in a new film. They have always been around after ROTJ and will apparently continue to be around to some extent. So frankly no one cares what you see, it isn't a correct point of view. It isn't even an opinion, it's just wrong.

New info revealed via retro trading cards courtesy of Entertainment Weekly. It's character names, not spoilers, so don't fear plot point revelation.

Algo and I were just joking about how Finn was the most normal name ever.

He needs an outrageous Star Wars last name to make up for it. Novaslapper or something.
