The Last Skywalker— with Spoilers

"That makes no sense. Why is there rotting flesh and nails on the spirit? He was blown to bits, if he is a spirit why is he walking away from the machines? Temporarily? How are machines keeping his spirit alive?! What need does the spirit have for machines?"

It was temporary because eventually Rey killed him for good by using the collective power of all the Jedis.

Star Wars has a long history of showing people's bodily forms as spirits -- for Jedis it's a Force Ghost.

I'll make something else clear -- Siths can't create Force Ghosts. They do have the ability to revive their spirits, but can't just become a ghost walking around.

Worst retcon ever.

So, Palatine can come back again if it's necessary for the plot?

That’s basically it. Lol. They killed Snoke the last movie so they needed another big baddie in the movie.

Is she killed him for good, then he was alive. You can't kill dead things!

No. Palpatine had been alive the entire time. Siths have been using that power for a long time, well before Palpatine.

She killed his spirit. You don’t understand it. Read about Darth Sidious (Palpatine) on Wookieepedia. They have an extensive entry. They also talk about what he and other Siths did to reconstitute their spirits.

Snoke was just a projection made by Palpatine. Keep up. He was never his own entity.

What Palpatine and other Siths do is called transfer essence. Abrams didn’t make it up; it’s been around forever in the SW expanded universe.

Or it’s just bad writing. It’s why you should never have 2 different directors write the 3 movies without an actual outline or a plan.

Umm ... no. Palpatine had been present in every part of the trilogies. It makes total sense that he would’ve pulled the strings, just like he did in the prequels and original trilogies.

If I have to read extended universe and five companion books to understand a Star Wars movie.... then something is not right! He exploded in the Death Star and then the Death Star exploded! Never before did we have to read eu to know what is happening.

It really doesn't! If that is your plan you contact your main baddie long before 2018! They started to shoot August 2018, they got beyond lucky Mcdiarmid was free to shoot. It was not planned forever, the frantic re-shoots show that very clearly. If you are so into SW, how come you aren't following the drama about redoing the movie until October? What clearly happened is that they had no plan or program and scrambled like nuts after the Last Jedi. RoS is meant to pacify the Phandom Menace, it is basically a "sorry" to real fans. You do not introduce your villain in the last chapter!

Let me make this clear for you, though you seem dense. These new movies are nothing, they do not exist to most of us. Palpatine was dead, this makes no sense. And how he was shoved into the story, in the prologue is nothing but crap writing. Jar Jar Abrams at his best, no explanation for even the Death Star being on a planet after being blown to pieces. This is not a part of Skywalker Saga, they can call it what they want. You can call it what you want. I bet you few years from now, Disney will retcon these movies and kick them out of cannon.
