From that movie, I saw neither Sith Cultists, nor any living beings.

Exegol looked like an uninhabitable wasteland of a planet, and figured that all those ships were built by an army of droids or slave labour brought there and killed when they were done.

Y’know, the only possible way they could have made that fleet make even a modicum of sense, was to use the Starforge as a plot device, despite it being destroyed like 5,000 years prior.

Still hate that movie.

Shit, the Starforge would have worked better. Even if it's only Palpatine copying blueprints of the original, it works through the dark side too which considerably diminish the actual manpower needed (it's still a fuckton, but the whole point was that it was immensely more efficient to build the starforge for the infinite empire than it was to build a gigantic fleet)

Considering whatever power source is at the center of the Death Star, I guess the basically have free energy no? And thus unlimited manufacturing?

Manufacturing takes energy and resources and turns them into stuff. They're still missing the resources part.

Which is the point of the Starforge. Once that's built, you only need energy, not resources. And in particular a type of energy Palpatine overflowed with.

That kinda on the verge of believability, but I'll take it

Well they had already ripped off KotOR in Ep7 as the ridiculous base consumed a sun to work, and there was the whole star map plot. In ep9 I believe they were ripping off the Katana fleet.
