      It’s also the plot in a couple of legends and canon books too.

      People like to bash the palpatine coming back, but it’s actually a well thought out storyline in the books. A lot of stuff gets lost between the books and the movies though, the whole episode 3 book has a totally different feel than the movie. A whole arc is missing about why he’s so mad to not get the rank of master.

      Palpatine was telling Anakin the Jedi masters had the secret to eternal life and it would save padme.

        People bash Palpatine coming back because it was not well thought out in the movies. They could have set it up easily in the PT what with all the allusions to the Force being able to be used to influence life and death. Then you have two movies in ST to play with before a big reveal in the final film. But unfortunately all the trilogies were too disconnected from each other, with the ST being too disconnected within itself.

          Palpatine being back wasn’t even revealed first in the movies, it was revealed in a Fortnite event of all places. Absolutely crazy choice of marketing.
