Search your feelings. You know it to be true.
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.


(I don’t think it will happen I just want it to)
You don't think what will happen? He'll be in it or he's in it and I'll like it?

Both
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.
:throwup:

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.

They might here. That could be our compromise
Hmmm

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.

I said a few months ago....

with the PT.... we the audience knew the machinations of Palpatine and his evil undercover ways


now maybe JJ is reversing it in the ST.......and the audience has no clue about Palpatine's hands in the cookie jar the whole time.


I'm not saying it's a good idea, but it's all I had. I don't like Palpatine returning. He died in ROTJ

Was some force lightning and a long fall really enough to kill the mighty Emperor Palpatine? I remember questioning his death even as a little kid.

IMHO, if the writers had wanted him to be definitively dead, they just could have had the first trooper to find him check his pulse and shake his head no. Super quick, super simple. By not taking that simple step, I can only imagine they wanted there to be some doubt.

Interesting thing about Palpatines death. He falls down screaming into the Death Star generator core and there’s that huge flash of blue light comes back up (you see it flash over Vader’s helmet)

The falcon and two x wings enter that generator core at a far greater speed than Palpatine falling into it... and no huge blue flash for them..

So he self immolated into some sorta force spirit and inhabited Vader’s helmet maybe?

‘Taking one last look sir, at my friends’

Could they have rebooted his memory and he’s talking about Luke Leia and Han?



Also Kevin smith just dropped the ball a bit. His trailer review, when Palpatine is looking down on Rey, he goes ‘spider chair spider chair’ to the spidey theme tune.
He’s clearly seen it

If Hayden force ghost appears immediately after they do this, I will walk out.

Come on, all you guys and gals that were around in 1983...

You thought the Emperor was dead. The rebels saved the galaxy from the tyrannical Empire. Vader helped save his son and redeem himself and turned good to defeat the Emperor.



Palpatine being back is lazy. They must have an Oscar winning reason why he’s back or they wouldn’t do it. Oh heck who am I kidding....they just pulling stuff outta their asses.

If they say nothing else of Snoke in this movie, will he have been the biggest pointless character in all of the three trilogies? Moreso than boba Fett?

Snoke was JJs creation. As were the knights of ren. And they’re back. Hopefully featured prominently.
I’m predicting the classic bad guy explains his plans to the pesky kids and it’ll be about Snoke being his emmisary or useful idiot.

Doubt he’ll be ignored or omitted.
