"Somehow, Palpatine return." -Poe-

Palpatine coming back wasn't even an interesting premise though.

If I had a nickel for every time Palps got his lightning reversed...

I could afford to hire better writers than what we got.

3 10-cent commemorative coins would have gotten 3 fanboys who know Star Wars front to back to write a lore-loyal exciting adventure involving potentially new force powers, cool new characters, and a coherent plot.

And yet, we got the drool dribbling out of the mouths of Disney executives at the thought of all the money they made.

Star Wars is god-tier IP.

You could shit in a bag, label it "Rancor poop" and make a million dollars with zero effort. Guess what happens when you actually put in effort to make things Good?

It's like how the fan star trek movies are better than most the recent trek stuff but everyone throws their money at the corporations and doesn't even watch the fans ones when they're free.

People are to blame for media being as low grade as it is, every idiot that signs up to Disney channel and watches the most soulless drivel ever made is shaping our society to have more of the same

It really did fail on all ends.

The look on Oscar Isaac's face as he delivers that line is something else.

It's the face of a man who has been back and forth with the scriptwriter and director all day, and is resigned to the fact that this is the best they can come up with.

it makes sense for poe to say, how would he know how palpy came back?

the problem was the movie didnt really expand on that in any capacity

Even the writers didn't seem to know. It was like they'd been handed some weird madlibs type shit and had to work Palpatine back in, even though the previous two movies hadn't alluded to that in the slightest.

Even the groans from the rebels sound like "Jesus, three movies for this shit?"

If you look at Alan Rickman saying "By Grabthar's Hammer, what a savings" and Oscar saying this, it's the same pained expression, but only Rickman was acting.
