Maybe if they didn’t waste so much time reintroducing Palpatine they wouldn’t have needed two parts!

??? They don’t spend any time introducing him. They instantly bring him into the plot, don’t give any time for the characters to reflect on his arrival, and expect you to watch a fortnite clip to understand.

I don’t think RL literally means that they wasted time on his reintroduction. Just that the fact that he was reintroduced meant they wasted a lot of time on him. I mean, honestly the whole plot is based on the fact that he is back. Instead of just following up and concluding what they set up in the last film(s), they decided to graft on a whole additional story.

And, personally, I think the complaints of the Fortnite clip are silly. I listened to it, it doesn’t tell you anything. More likely than not it was either a deleted moment that got cut out because is was unnecessary, or it was created separate from the film as purely a piece of marketing.
