That was the point of removing it. I’ve added visions of Exegol in TLJ but I wanted Palp to be a new threat and not manipulating anyone until TROS. I thought it weakened the story on all sides trying to shoehorn Palp into “the shadows”
Ok, then we are on different sites on this one. Certainly palps return in general was a surprise but one of the very few things I liked about TROS is that they gave him some substance being in the shadows, confusing kylo and pulling the strings. Otherwise, like in your case is comes out of nowhere. Did you moved his appearance further back in your edit since the little zoom view? This would work at least for me, but to appear in the first quarter of the movie undermines the new hidden threat from him. In my opinion.
