The other point still stands too: watching just TFA itself and nothing else, it's still abundantly clear that they're aliens, not on earth, and don't use our days of the week. You don't have to go back and read all the novels and watch the christmas special to figure out you shouldn't make references to American brand names.
Yeah, for my part, I don't care if people aren't well-versed in SW universe terminology--heck, I've been into the OT my whole life and still have to look things up, so I absolutely get that it can be intimidating if you just got into the franchise. But just...don't use anything egregiously modern-day-Earth specific. That, at least, doesn't seem hard to me.
