Nothing particularly special. It basically was an analysis of what Lavos was. Parasite living within the planet since 65 million B.C. Then the computer shorts out.

Also apparently a dead Johnny can be found there which is appropriate since I just got done racing that jerk in my current CT run. (it's going slowly. It's not a priority for me)
Yes there is, but I failed to find him. I did spot the race car Crono used though.

You're totally right about the filler bosses though. I had forgotten about that until my last run. There are also a lot of bosses who don't give Star Levels in the game but they're usually optional like the octopus or Dario. I suppose in NG+ they add up to 99 and then you're invincible.
From what I've read, there are 45 Star levels per playthrough regardless of which choices you make. You'll be nearly invincible around the time you get to the 60s except against some of the end game stuff which isn't much different from CT.

Didn't get much accomplished last night, mostly went to Guldove to get the plot coupons needed to start talking to the Dragons and open the quest to get the Chrono Cross. I did revisit Viper Manor and obtained Viper's sword, Zoah and Norris' Lv. 7 Techs, and unlocked Karsh's quest for his Lv. 7 Tech, though I'm likely going to fight some of the dragons first cause Solt and Peppor are pretty nasty for this particular fight.

Not sure what order to do the dragons, except I usually leave Black and Sky for the end. I'm actually trying to remember how to even get to Gaia's Navel.
