Palpatine was resurrected by The Sith followers.
Rey’s powers can be easily explained: 1. She was the Last Jedi. The shroud of the Dark Side no longer existed in the known galaxy as Palpatine was far, far away in the Unknown Regions and not fully regenerated. 2. She studied the actual Journal of the Whills, which were previously in Luke’s possession and found resting in the first Jedi Temple. 3. We have no proof that every other Jedi actually studied the Journal and it’s clear that much of the information was lost and/or not taught to the previous Jedi. 4. Kylo Ren and Rey were a Force Dyad, meaning that any power that she had, he had as well (e.g., the Force healing). Force healers were well known in the Legends EU, so it wasn’t a surprise to see on screen. |

Nah. When Sidious was talking to Anakin about creating life and cheating death with the Midichlorians and Plagueis endless years of research into it and being the only one to even come close, I can't buy that there was a book that Rey read and figured it out.

So Palpatine’s sith followers were all blown up in the arena along with him, therefore there are none left now to “Freddy Kruger” him ad infinitum?

Her explanation is way too simplistic as well. "I take my life force and transfer it to another being." Well shit, if it's that easy why wasn't it discovered by accident. No one ever just tried to do that?

This is very helpful. I read about 9 diff articles on this yesterday after the movie, and none of them made any sense. “Just because” isn’t an explanation. This should tie things up with Claynus but.....we know it won’t.

Plus, Qui Gon discovered the secret of immortality and taught Yoda, who taught Obi Wan, who taught Luke and so on. Sidious was never immortal, he was resurrected by Sith Black Magic, some of which we saw in The Clone Wars series with the Sith Witches of Dathomir, specifically Mother Talzin. |

You don't. It's a bunch of Jar Jar Abrams hand-waving bullshit.
Rey and Ren's dyad can regenerate zombie Palpatine? Why? Cus. Shut up and turn your brain off for fun over the top force unleashed bullshit. |

Just like George, there is no way that JJ could please everyone so he chose to go the Fan Service route instead of pushing the story in a new direction like RJ. |

The issue for me was everything was abrupt. At least with avengers it was essentially a two parter and explained. They missed that in the last jedi

My son crapped ALL over this movie the other day, which really surprised me, but he did say that The Mandalorian was outstanding
So I’ll be renting this on the cheap, and trying to find an “alternative” means to see Mandalorian To be honest I’m sick of how they’re trashing the SW legacy, all the new ones sans Rogue One have been ****ing garbage IMO... and before someone jumps down my throat for that opinion, bear in mind I’m an ORIGINAL SW nerd Watched the first run of New Hope at a drive-in theater and had ALL the toys... so I’m damn well entitled to my opinion They had their chance to reunite Luke, Leia, Han and Chewie... and ****ing BLEW it |

just pay the $6 for a month and watch the 8 episodes of the Mandalorian and then cancel. Well worth the $6. The Mandalorian rocks.

Enjoyed it at theater, enjoying it more as I reflect.
Boys: if I’m bullish on something (other than Mahomes obv), then you know it’s decent. I’m a harsh critic. The movie was fun and it was surprising and f***, I paid $15 to make me and my sons happy as clams. Do you know how many times me and my wife have dropped $150-200 to leave Camarohead unhappy? |
