6. Palpatine’s Resurrection

Palpatine’s return in The Rise of Skywalker felt abrupt and lacked explanation. The phrase “Somehow, Palpatine returned” left viewers confused and frustrated. His death in Return of the Jedi symbolized the defeat of tyranny, making this twist feel unearned. There was no setup in the previous films to suggest his survival or plans. A properly built storyline could have made his return impactful and believable.
