It's surprising it's not on the SE soundtrack.

What are you talking about?

Rey is not Palpatine. There is not going to be an Episode 10. The EU is not going to continue with Rey being Palpatine. Once I'm proven correct I would appreciate your acknowledgement.

Or it indicates he's talking to a crazy person and there is no reason to continue. Your "evidence" is just pure fan theory.

So you're saying that Yoda in TLJ was actually Palpatine? 😄 Ok, I'm done. Enjoy your fantasy.

I thought you were having delusions of grandeur. I think the only people he affected were Kylo directly and Rey indirectly. He didn't have much to do with the Resistance.

Well I'll eat a hat if Episodes 10-12 portray Rey as having absorbed Palpatine's soul. I still say Rey being a Palpatine wasn't a plan until after Episode 8.

That was one of the few things I liked.

@Mattris You're an idiot. There's no way Star Wars is going to continue with Rey actually hosting Palpatine's soul. If you thought fans were upset about TLJ, imagine the rolling eyes if that were to happen. The yellow lightsaber symbolizes that she's a Jedi.

He fucking died in ROTJ. That's what happened to him.

I don't know where you get your delusions.

There is more evidence that there was no plan than there is evidence of there being a plan. Your conspiracy theories sound pathetic.

I doubt it. Abrams only came up with this after TLJ. If it had been intended from the beginning it would have been in Trevorrow's script. Don't tell me that Trevorrow's script was a hoax. Way too much time was spent on it just to distract the fans. Didn't most of it leak after TROS came out? What would be the point? I don't know about you but I can agree to disagree because you're nuts.

Because his body blew up with the Death Star. There shouldn't be any coming back from that. I don't like that Darth Maul lived after being cut in half and falling down a huge shaft either. If they both survived then it's dumb that Qui Gon died. Oh, yeah, Dark side blah blah blah. Dumb. Secondly, the story doesn't need Palpatine. Ren and Hux should have been the main villains of Episode 9. Palpatine coming back and Hux becoming a spy were both dumb. YES. I very much wanted her to be a nobody. There was no reason to make her a Palpatine. The movie doesn't explain that she's a daughter of a Palpatine clone. That may have helped make it less dumb than thinking Palpatine had a family we had no idea existed, which is the impression everyone had until the novel came out. Trevorrow or Rian Johnson should have done Episode 9. Abrams fucked up.

@Mattris I have a genuine question. After the prequels were made, did you seriously think Palpatine was now still alive at the end of ROTJ? If not, did it only occur to you after TLJ was made? If the logical conclusion is that Palpatine survived being blown up on the DS2, then you should have been expecting it as soon as they announced the ST was being made. Palpatine being dead was fine from 1983 to 2019. It was stupid to bring him back. Trevorrow's script should have been Episode 9.

@Mattris I'm confused. You like Star Wars again? After the worst SW film came out? Yes, I think bringing Palpatine back was stupid. His storyline ended with ROTJ.

It's kind of a toss up. I don't plan on watching either one again for a long time.

Wrong. TFA and TLJ are much better than AOTC.

Not likely, but I don't mind. Thanks for the explanation anyway.

How do you guys even notice this stuff? Different take? Really?

Do you guys listen to anything other than soundtracks? Or is there another thread for that?

WHAT?!

Are you both from Pittsburgh? Me too!

My only point is that there is no reason to be upset about Holdo being a woman unless you have some kind of problem with women, or some insecurity in your manhood. My friends and I can talk about TLJ without feminism even being mentioned because we either didn't notice it or don't care. We thought Holdo was a bad ass to sacrifice herself the way she did.

Well the fact that TLJ ends with Leia saying they have everything they need and then showing a Force sensitive kid wearing the Resistance ring, I'd say it does inspire hope. You mean like Luke in ESB?
