Emperor Palpatine famously returned from the grave in the Star Wars films, giving life to the iconically cringe-worthy line of dialogue, “Somehow, Palpatine returned”. While the live-action, animated, and canon comic book series have made strides to explain how Palpatine came back to life, the fact that it wasn’t fully explained when it happened in The Rise of Skywalker already makes it inferior to the original version of that very same story in Star Wars Legends.
