I mean, I get that its a kinda goofy line, but to these characters thats all they know. Do you expect Poe to suddenly expo-dump about Palpatines experiments?

I liked some of RoS, like the force dyad thing, and I think Kylo Ren is one of the best characters in the (movie) franchise, but I didn't like that Palpatine came back, and that Rey was his granddaughter.

He's a bigger Mary Sue than Rey.

How does one just return from the dead? Most Mary Sue thing in the entire sequel trilogy.

You are now imagining Palpatine having sweaty old man sex, and screaming "Unlimited power!" with his O-face. Have fun with that.

lol yeah I was shocked that they didnt play his message at the start of the movie. I figured thats how people would find out - theyd catch a random broadcast and think its some sort of elaborate hoax or perhaps an old message being replayed by a radio station or something. But no. Only in Fortnite.

Is Palpatine coming back ever actually explained? The best I can remember is just like, he didn't die when Vader threw him down the (basically) elevator Shaft and just kinda went into hiding while the Empire collapsed.

The really worst part is Palpatine has managed to build a fleet of spaceships with Death Star's strapped to them. Or maybe the worst part is that the Emperor like, built Snoke. Like in a tube.

no it's not explained. He literally says in Return of Skywalker "The Dark Side is the way to abilities that many consider unnatural" and that was the only explanation.

He gets thrown down a shaft and explodes --- in outer space mind you -- it made no sense that he is alive XD.

He transferred his consciousness into a clone body he had prepared for him. Vader's betrayal happened sooner than he was expecting so the process wasn't as neat and tidy as he hoped for, hence the decomposition.

And it's entirely possible construction started while he was still "alive." He knew about Exegol before ROTJ.

When you're bringing your big bad evil end game villain back to life after killing him off at the end of the previous story arc, you probably shouldn't do it in Fortnite.

The point of the broom kid was just to show that there will always be Force sensitive people in the galaxy, no matter what happens to the Jedi. It's just a hopeful little moment; idk why people get so hung up on it. Hell, I've even seen people upset that "broom kid" wasn't in ROS lol

Because it's an example of the trilogy having poor cohesion. It's the final scene in TLJ and doesn't get mentioned or referenced a single time in TROS. Not even in an epilogue or anything.

I'm not sure how the Force Dyad sets up anything for Palpatine as well. Everything with Palpatine was obviously made up for TROS. Which is why we have the whole 'Somehow Palpatine Returned' in the intro credits instead of the big event that it would have otherwise been. It seems pretty obvious that TLJ was written to set up the new characters than leave hooks for old ones to return so it's a pretty big whiplash.

The Force connection that Snoke said he made? Oh yeah, but he was lying about that. He discovered the dyad and decided to pretend it was his doing for... reasons?

And then Palpatine had no clue it existed even though Snoke was his puppet and proxy. Guess the existence of a powerful unique force bond that could rejuvenate Palpatine wasn't important enough to keep him abreast of.

Just give it a rest, Rebel. Carrying water for these shitty, shitty films is beneath you.

Lmfao fucking Christ. Were you expecting the broom kid to save the day? It was a throwaway scene to potentially set up a different storyline.

Adding the kid to the sequel would have made no sense. He had literally fuck all to do with the story.

Apparently you did since nothing set up by last jedi was continued since Disney panicked.

New random force users? Nah skywalker and palps only

Resistance rebuilding after death star 3? Nah lando just breaks hyperspace and collects the entire galaxy at once.

Rey is a new bloodline? Nah fuck that

Kylo going to push towards evil to set up the next trilogy? Nah fuck that instant redemption

Finn, rose, and rey love 'triangle' nah finn is just a cuck, rose who, and Rey wants that Skywalker bone

I'm just saying, I don't see why it needs to be referenced. It served its narrative function as it was.

I'm not saying it has anything to do with Palpatine. Whoever I responded to was saying the Dyad showed up out of nowhere in ROS. It was clearly set up in TLJ as Rey and Ben had their little Force moments.
