This got me thinking and wondering if Palpatine was the plan all along when firing up this new trilogy. I highly doubt they just decided to bring palpatine back for the final film for fan service. Im assuming it was the plan all along. Then, i ask, why haven't the prior two movies at least alluded to "something darker going on in the galaxy". There have been zero hints at something like this. I think it would have made it far more interesting . Instead, we were just led to believe that snoke was the bad guy, and Kylo was the new dark side enforcer. Because of that, as of now - prior to seeing the film, the idea of palpatine all of a sudden coming back feels.....cheap.
Of course, this can all change once I see the movie.
Random morning coffee thoughts.
It was planned to be Palpatine all along. That’s what the aftermath books were about and a few other tie ins.
Jj and Kennedy both have said he was always the endpoint but just had to figure out how.
This film explains the how.

If he's an old man, sure. That's the ONLY way it would work in my mind.
We’ve done this already. It’s Anakin Hayden you see at the end of ROTJ. Not some crusty old man. It has to be Hayden Anakin in this.
I forgot you’re finished with Star Wars if it’s him don’t worry. They’ll do it really well and surprise you. And it’ll make beautiful sense as he’s the throughline in all three trilogies.

You don't think what will happen? He'll be in it or he's in it and I'll like it?

If Anakin doesn't shpw up in this film, it a fucking crime, I hope it's a scene similar the the Yoda and Luke scene from TLJ.

Well, there seems to be a lot of feelings that he will be, so my guess is you'll get that wish. I'll never accept that he was inserted into Jedi, tho. The reasoning for it is so stupid. On par with midichlorians stupid. Sorry to let you down on that one, but that's one of the biggest missteps Lucas made in his involvement in these movies. In my, minority, opinion.

Unless he's an old man.
They’ve literally used blue sky ideas from TFA, you can see them in the art of book.
Most noticeably the emperors throne room underwater with Rey swimming to the chair.
And other stuff.
So if that’s in play, the book also has Anakin as a force ghost but he’s burned and half ruined, like a split spirit. They obviously never went with it.
