Private.
This presents so many questions, Master. How many Sith were there to bring about the destruction of the Jedi? I'd think it would require a vast army, but I have not come across any mention of such supporting Palpatine.
Why did the New Republic allow the Empire to even continue and evolve into another faction? Initially, when I heard of the First Order, I thought the residents were speaking of a Jedi-led government.
Wait. There was an Empire in your time as well? This is news to me. There was the Sith Empire destroyed during the Great Hyperspace War, so a new one?
Master, I propose we meet to discuss this in person. I would also like to learn as much as possible of our own times.
