I defend the use of The Emperor, both in Dark Empire and ROS. I like the idea of this immortal being of pure evil energy as the villain throughout the whole saga. The problem is that there is no set-up or hints given that 'Ol Palpy might still be alive and behind it all in TFA or TLJ. That could have been the surprise in TLJ; it was the reason Luke has been in exile - he sensed Palps was behind what was going on and was looking to track down his location. Wait…is that the explanation Force Ghost Luke gives towards the end of ROS? I forget.

Anyway, it would have been cool if the Falcon comes out of hyperspace at the end of TFA in the middle of a fleet of Imperial-class Star Destroyers instead of finding Luke.
