[@alextucker5819]

There's more to the story than you think. An entire background to everything in the trilogy. How Palpatine returned, where the First Order came from, how Palpatine was Rey's grandfather, all that stuff.

[@RandomGuy-ky7me]

As much as I like Ian returning and Sidious himself, I think bringing him back ruins the whole point of Anakin's redemption except saving Luke. I think it should have been Plagueis to be the main villain, as he was most well known for doing this death cheating business and was even theorized to have indirectly created Anakin. If that's so then Kylo is also an indirect creation of his

[@generalzod7959]

oh it did. it completely ruined the theme george established of anakin being the chosen one who restored balance to the force. but this is disney we're talking about. they never had any plan when they started making the sequel trilogy so when they got to the 3rd film and snoke was already dead, they had no idea who was going to be the new baddy and resurrected ol' sparky. i like ian as palpatine however, when george wrote the return of the jedi, anakin killed him. george said so thus, it is so. i've never seen this movie or anything after rogue one from disney and while it's neat to see him reprise the role once more, it doesn't make sense.

[@iamchrispaezjr]

He was brought back in legends as well. Palpatine always had contingencies in the event of his death. The man who fooled the entire Jedi for years and brought them down like a Trojan horse really wouldn’t have a backup plan to cheat death? He wasn’t dumb. He knew he hadn’t fully and completely turned Anakin. Not really. Him being beaten by Rey just shows the same level of arrogance he displayed towards Windu when he shot lightning and barbecued himself. Nothing has changed about his character.

[@generalzod7959]

@iamchrispaezjr thing is though, according to George, after vader threw him down the shaft, he was dead, dead, dead. That was how anakin lived up to the title of chosen one who would return balance to the force.

[@ryanodonovan9497]

@@generalzod7959 Which he did, but that doesn’t mean that balance and peace lasts forever in an imperfect galaxy. Also, George Lucas doesn’t own Star Wars anymore, and sold it of his own free will. So he no longer has any say in what should or shouldn’t be. I agree with you that the story wasn’t well planned out, but at least J. J. Abrams’ logic made some sense still when explaining it to Ian McDiarmid, which is that Palpatine has already been the main devil throughout this saga, thus it should end that way. And Random Guy, whilst Darth Plagueis was better known for cheating death, not having him in the films at least supports what Palpatine says was ironic about him; “He could save others from death, but not himself.”

You have to give Kylo props, the way he walked up inside that Sith Temple completely alone ready to fight the Emperor in single combat plus any other potential Sith inside...he didn’t even bring his Knights which are all force users (they’re basically his Inquisitors) who could technically help him with this sort of thing. This is the most “Vader like” we’ve ever seen him, no fear, no hesitation. This is exactly how Vader would have approached a direct threat to his rule, if he were the “Emperor” or “Supreme Leader”, this is exactly how Palpatine approached Maul and Savage the second he got wind of what they were up to, he personally went to deal with them alone...mad respect to Kylo for acting like a true Emperor, he is Sith in every way but name.

I give props to Kylo for keeping a cool, collected demeanor despite the situation, and immediately aiming his blade the moment he spots Palpatine, knowing better than to underestimate the “weak old man.” For his part, Palpatine just effortlessly exudes the same frightful confidence he possessed in previous films, as if death itself was hardly an obstacle, just something that slowed him down. The Dark Lord of the Sith is reborn.

I usually watched them pirated, and I was too young, I didnt know about disney and shit, I thought its all just sw, I got attached to the whole franchise that I just didnt want it to end in ep 6, especially when I was born too late to enjoy the ot and prequels. I want to listen to myself but I hope it doesnt make me look stupid because sw fans usually bully others for their choices, they say that people who like sequels are emotional and immature, and only care about new vfx and what not.

I can’t say there’s any film in the series that I outright “hate.” I may like certain ones more than others, but that doesn’t mean I hate any of them. True SW fans can debate, discuss, and even disagree, but we all realize that at the core we’re all SW fans, so why hate on each other?
