    I know, right? Such a fucking stupid line, it’s like nobody ever saw a star war.

    Well i did see all every star war, and i’ll tell you what i learned. If a Sith Lord had machinations to be resurrected in the case of his eventual death, the VERY FIRST thing he would do upon the successful completion of that plan is announce that fact to the entire galaxy, and explain to the entire galaxy, especially every random X-Wing pilot fighting for the rebellion, that he is now officially back and here is how he was able to do so.

    The Sith do not hide in the shadows. They do not operate in secret. They do not subtly manipulate. They do not lie or deceive. They operate in public, explaining every step of their history and future plan to the entire galaxy. If palpatine were to be resurrected, even fucking jawas and droids could tell you the exact methodology by which he did so.

    Anyone who has seen ANY star war would know this. It just wouldn’t make sense in context of the rest of the series, which is well-known for being hard scifi that stays as accurate to the physical universe as possible. To break those rules you’d have to invent some sort of magic or some mystical woowoo made up forces to explain how palpating returned, and god if someone did that i’d just give up on all of the star wars, not just any individual star war.
