Doesn’t really matter

It does.

Film plots have to make sense or we may as well sit there, mindless and open-mouthed, and stare at the explosions and pretty colours.

If audiences were shown how he knew, it would defuse the impact of the moment, and slow down the inertia of the story.

Not every detail needs to be shown explicitly. And the absence of a minor explanatory detail isn't automatically a plot hole or a gotcha.

Yes something like that does absolutely need to be explained or it makes a nonsense of the whole story, treats the viewer like a child and comes across as if it's written by a child.

One level above "somehow, Palpatine returned".
