I haven’t had the energy to talk about this movie at all lately. But here’s something: does Anakin’s voice say “bring back the balance, as I did”? or something to that effect? because that always struck me as an awful line. He didn’t bring back crap
What are you talking about? Palpatine did die, albeit temporarily. In TLJ Luke specifically says “for many years, there was balance” when talking about the time between episodes 6 and 7.
To be fair, that’s the only line that establishes that and it is arguably contradicted by Tekka’s ‘Without the Jedi, there can be no balance’. Luke never finished bringing back the Jedi, so it’s a bit more up for interpretation.
