Says dumb
I like the idea, but the film did not show any preparation. An earlier scene with Lando making calls would have helped.
Where did the huge volunteer fleet at Exegol come from?

Verdict: Contested. 56% of viewers say this is dumb. Top defense: Lando and Chewbacca say they sent word to every system that remembered the Rebellion, and the film treats it as a rally.

The moment is rousing but it does not make sense that so many people would arrive at the same time in a hidden location. It feels like a miracle written for the plot.
Says explained
It is a rally cry. The film says word spread across the galaxy and the ships answered. It is an emotional beat and it is meant to be one.
