I’m still trying to wrap my brain around Palpatine’s resurrection.
My current theory is Exogol Palpatine is the same one from the prequels. ROTJ was a clone being controlled like a puppet, a la Snoke. This would explain why he’s so decrepit and withered in TROS, and why he still has the face scars after being regenerated. My thinking is that Palpatine cannot simply clone a new body and transfer his soul into it, he can only control them remotely using the Force. This explains why he needs Rey. Eventually his body will grow so old (and possibly withered by excessive dark side energies) that even his life support equipment will no longer sustain him.
What do you think?
I think Dark Empire’s idea was way better then the shit sandwich TROS gave us.
How would you know? You haven’t seen it or TLJ, right?
There are enough spoilers out there for me to form a judgement. And Dark Empire already had the idea that Palpatine needed a non-clone force-sensitive body to transfer his essence into.
A plot synopsis is not a movie. You may think the plot sounds dumb and it kind of is, but you can’t honestly call the movie a “shit sandwich” if you haven’t seen it. A movie is more than a series of plot points. An Empire Strikes Back plot synopsis would probably be boring as hell.
