One Star Wars Fan Has A Very Hot Take on A Controversial Sequel Trilogy Moment

Star Wars’s sequel trilogyhas gotten its fair share of criticism from fans over the years, and one social media user has come to the defense of the movies, flipping the narrative around one oft-clowned plot point from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
Star Warsfans have been openly critical of the prequel trilogy since its release, with both valid criticism and unwarranted disdain for the films dominating the discourse about them for years. However, the release of the sequel trilogy after the Disney acquisition made a large part of the fanbase realize that the Star Wars prequels could be left alone, turning their attention to the newer material instead. Criticism, both justified and otherwise, would plague the trilogy throughout its run and beyond, with many moments from the film receiving particular ridicule.
One such well-ridiculed moment comes from Star Wars:The Rise of Skywalker, which almost featured the Star Wars debut of Dr. Who’s Matt Smith. In one scene, the character Poe Dameron announces, “Somehow, Palpatine returned,” referring to the unexpected return of the franchise’s paramount antagonist in Sheev Palatine, also known as the Emperor and Darth Sidious. This moment would become a meme and embody the fans’ ridicule of this perceived baseless addition. However, Reddit user Norman_debris recently took to r/StarWars in defense of this point from the movie in a short post aptly titled “Palpatine's resurrection makes perfect sense,” in which they make their case to that effect. They start the post by reiterating the meme status of Poe’s line and the underlying criticism of Palpatine’s return. Specifically, they reiterate that it was seen as “unnecessary, unexplained, and demonstrating a lack of imagination and lazy fan service.”
The actual point being made is done in one strong sentence and a pairped question, reading “However, it was a significant plot point that Palpatine offered to teach Anakin the power to cheat death. Why is it at all surprising that he managed to return?” Palpatine displays unfathomable Force powers throughout Star Wars, and is also a Sith Lord with access to an unimaginably macabre collection of Sith knowledge, some of which likely dealt with the common Sith obsession of immortality. This is a solid point, but another equally valid point was made by other fans in the comments who point out that there’s no real reason why fans should take Palpatine at his word when he assures Anakin that he can indeed cheat death. Also noted was the fact that the return cheated Anakin’s sacrifice and Luke’s victory.
With no additional context in the prequels to go off of, Palpatine’s return retroactively proves his honesty with Anakin. While there was a lot of potential truth in a

Star Wars: Squadrons is 95% off and also, the perfect May 4th night in - shame the multiplayer's dead
Happy May 3rd, Battlestar Galactica fans! Remember what John Dune said about living long and prospering? He said: Oh, look, objectively excellent dogfighter Star Wars: Squadrons is under two quid on Steam. As Edwin pointed out to me, that’s about the price of a third of latte, although he does pay London prices. Also, Edwin, are you going around trying to buy the dregs of people’s lattes? I cannot judge. Were it in short supply, I too would debase myself for caffeine in an instant.
