I think ROS just shat all over Palpatine's story arc.
They brought him back for hardly any action, didn't explain how he survived, and then reveal him to be Rey's grandfather? GTFO Also undermines Anakin's arc, too. |

The plot was dumb af. The ending was an avengers knockoff. The last battle scene was the biggest joke of all time. It should’ve been an epic battle but just like snoke, done in 2 mins

The way that Palpatine went out didn't even make sense.
This guy who's supposed to be a mastermind, and has been planning this for decades...goes out via the same tactic Mace Windu used on him circa 18 years before battle of yavin? So not only did they put a character in the movie who should not have been in the movie, they didn't explain why he was in it - like THEY DIDN'T EVEN ATTEMPT TO DO THAT AT ALL - and then the things he did in the movie were just plain-assed stupid. **** Jar Jar Abrams. Dave Filoni spent more effort and imagination in resurrecting Darth Maul in a ****ing cartoon.

I remember reading a reddit thread that ruefully regretted that Luke didn’t go The Force Unleashed at the end of The Last Jedi.
Since I’ve legitimately wondered how many would have preferred that ending. |

Just got back from seeing it. It was fun, it was entertaining, it was a garbage story that seemed to be set out to cover up the garbage story of The last Jedi.

My buddy who is a huge Stars Wars fan and a commercial artist that saw the movie the day before it was released told me to stay away. Sometimes he gets caught up in the nit-pickery though. But he said the story is completely ****ed up.
I'll probably catch it when it hits Amazon for 9.99. |

So what Finn wanted to tell Rey the whole movie was that he's force sensitive.

Going a diff direction, my 7&9 year old boys loved it. They knew all the characters and loved seeing them come on screen. These movies aren’t made for dads they’re made for their kids. Lucas aptly said re: criticisms of Jar Jar: “These are kids movies”. And he’s right. Personally I liked Palpatine’s role in the movie. Why does it matter if his granddaughter was hidden? Why is that impossible? Luke and Leia were hidden. Since I read no spoilers I had no clue that was her heritage |

Anakin didn't know his children had survived Padme's death. I can believe that. If they had provided some kind of explanation for: 1. Why grandpa Palps was clappin' cheeks (really ****ing stupid) 2. How the most powerful being in the galaxy managed to lose track of his only son. 3. How he ALSO managed to lose track of his incredibly powerful force sensitive granddaughter. I maybe could have bought it. But they didn't even try to explain shit. It's not believable whatsoever. It's lazy storytelling because Snoke got kilt. As is making Rey ABSURDLY powerful. More powerful than ANY Jedi we've ever seen before. If the Jedi Masters on the old council had her powers, Palpatine would have been ****ed. Stupid, lazy, hamfisted Jar Jar Abrams storytelling.

Even if he survived in a weak state he lost all his resources so it doesn't seem difficult to see how his son could have escaped a weak Palpatine recovering form injuries without legions of storm troopers at his disposal. Again once Palps lost track of him the fact that he had a daughter would not necessarily be known to him. I also don't find it hard to believe a guy who was the emperor of the entire known galaxy had a harem of women or that he may have attempted to create an heir in some way.

So, at the height of the Emperor's powers, not only was he HAVING SEX, he had a son, and somehow this kid got away? And also had his own offspring? The whole thing isn't believable to begin with, and with zero explanation, it's even less believable.
