Eh, this one already ‘borrows’ from Avengers Endgame enough that one more franchise can’t hurt 😉

You can’t deny that this has value for being able to explain how Palpatine was able to survive death and also why he is able to be finally destroyed at the end of the film. The movie even gives us a final reason why Palpatine is dead forever in the deaths of Rey and Ben. Once Rey dies, one could argue that that part of Palpatine died with her, just like in the Deathly Hallows. Then when Ben uses his life force to bring Rey back at the cost of his life, the circle is complete and the power of Palpatine is gone forever.
