[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Went to see it tonight. It was OK. I had low expectations and they were satisfied. The plot had a lot of holes and inconsistencies and the dialogue was dreadful, but the whole arc was far superior to the execrable prequels and as an action movie, it hit the right notes. The characters were pretty flat and the one developing arc, the interplay between Kylo Ren and Rey, was only compelling because Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver are really good actors, not due to the script.

Palpatine, meh. Better to resurrect an old villain than introduce a new one in the 9th movie. [/quote]

They didn't even resurrect him. The first line of the opening scroll says "the dead speak." He never went anywhere.

He was in the prequels as the one who took over the Senate and turned Anakin into Darth Vader. He continued in the original trilogy as Darth Vader's Sith Lord (Vader was the Sith Apprentice). Judging from the Sith rule of 2, Snoke couldn't have been alone; he had to have a master. The most logical one was Palpatine, so it made perfect sense when it turned out that he had been controlling Snoke.

You all seem to want every detail of a movie spoon-fed to you. Movies--especially long epics like Star Wars--aren't going to do that. Palpatine had Snoke in The Last Jedi, so he didn't necessarily have to put himself in the forefront; moreover, he was out on Exogol creating that crazy fleet of Star Destroyers. Once Snoke was killed in The Last Jedi, Palpatine came out and sent out that message.

I meant resurrect in the colloquial sense of just bringing back, not literally rising from the dead. I don’t care enough about any movie to obsess over details and you don’t need to spoon-feed me anything, thanks, because it doesn’t matter. I’m a casual fan who saw it because other people wanted to go and didn’t love it or hate it. That’s it. I saw the other two sequels once and promptly forgot 98% of them and it hasn’t impacted my life at all. [/quote]
