Although Poe Dameron might not have understood how Palpatine returned in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and was understandably exasperated at the news, it was all part of the Contingency: a plan that anticipated Palpatines death and prepared for his return to power.

When Palpatine was killed on the second Death Star, his consciousness transferred to a clone of his own body on Exegol but the body was too weak to contain him. This led to Palpatine creating more clones and strand-casts of himself in the hopes that one would offer a more suitable vessel for him to inhabit. All of this effort ultimately culminated in Rey, the daughter of one of Palpatines strand-casts. She was the perfect vessel but her father and mother did everything they could to hide her from her sinister grandfather.

So isnhe supposed to be her father or grandfather? Because it literally says she is the daughter of one of his clones, thus making him her father.

How the fuck do they write an article explaining it and have it make less sense then the damn movie?

She wasnt a clone, her father was and it just turns out she was a better vessel for his soul

Funny how all the Legends fanboys who mess their pants over Dark Empire now have a problem with the same plot.

Now I get it, but does that means there are other grandchildren of his out there?

While I'm not a big fan of Kevin Feige, this is why guys like him are needed. When you let the writers decide everything, the first order of business is often to piss over the top of what their predecessor has done and mark that territory for their own.

It's one of the rules of storytelling. If a character has a vow of chastity, it's to make a relationship illicit.

When's the last movie to have a priest who didn't get laid?

We know for a fact the only woman he ever would have forsaken his vows for was Satine, and she died onscreen, with their love unconsummated.

It's pretty much a plot from the extended universe books. So yes they dis pull it out of their ass as most of the EU was ass.

Yeah she got killed to piss Kenobi off, which didn't work anyway, and made her death pointless and for shock value rather than attempt to expand her character.

I thought the reason Gideon was doing that was for a super soldier program. Which is funny because the first place I heard of that plan was a parody we comic from about 2004.
