It's so good when players remember dangling plot threads.
This is why you have to create so many of them. So at least some have a chance of being remembered.
Commentary by memnarch (who has not seen the movie)
Sounds like the players are realizing just how many plot points they've got hanging out there. Like, there's at least five things here. And we're going to wrap it all up before the end of the movie? I bet we're going to have another The Forced-Away Kin-length episode to handle all of them.
I also bet that the Orb is back in the space-time liquefying comet. Bending space-time would take a lot of energy, and it'd be nicely annoying for Pete to have been so close and not known about it.

Poe: Oooh! I’ve got a better idea!
Chewbacca: It will be hard to top that one.
Poe: We don’t destroy Palpatine’s assets. We buy up his entire trade empire for space pennies and resell it to the Hutts at a massive markup!
Chewbacca: Your capacity for outlandish schemes is a black hole into which my expectations repeatedly collapse.
Poe: Then we blow it up.
Rey: Guys, guys. You’re forgetting the real question here.
Rey: Who’s going to take charge in the ensuing power vacuum? And what resources will I have to do it?
C-3PO: Hang on, what about the First Order? What about Nute Gunray and his potential copies? What about Rey’s weird visions?
BB-8: And what about the Lost Orb of Phanastacoria?
Poe: Hey, yeah. Where did that go?
Leia: We lost it again.
Rey: Dang.
Poe: We claim it as a business loss!
