I still don’t think introducing Palpatine so early really works, JakeRyan. It raises the uncomfortable question of why Palpatine’s name is never spoken during the entire runtime of TLJ
I mean, Luke mentions him in TLJ as Darth Sideous. I don’t think it would be too out of place to mention him in TLJ again, or even give some sort of hints to Rey’s lineage.
