The only point of contention is the current canon novels which state that he transferred his spirit before his body even died in the reactor shaft of the Death Star. At least this way Anakin actually killed Palpatine. It’s only because of his followers that he returned, and then a new chosen one was created.

But this time, Palpatine takes the approach that he only ever informally did with Anakin: being his father. He hinted at a more direct connection, but never capitalized on it. With Rey, due to her abandonment by her terrible parents, he knows he can twist the truth behind Rey’s own purpose as a creation of the Force.
