Defending Disney, the Palpatine-returns-with-better-and-more-weapkns-than-before plot comes from Dark Horse comics. At least we didn't have Stackpole writing the scripts, JJ Abrams alone was bad enough. No idea what happened to Episode 8 so, Knifes Out and Glass Onion are great films with great plots and writing.

I thought they killed off all the extended universe so they could write their own stories. (What marvelous stories those turned out to be.) But now you're telling me they used one anyway? Good God.
Star Wars 7 showed that the celebration at the end of 6 was premature. The Empire is still out there and is still a match for whatever government exists. Luke, Leia, and Han haven't won. The misery continues for another 40 years.
Star Wars 8 explained nothing.
Star Wars 9 "somehow Palpatine returned".
Fuck Disney and fuck everyone they hired.
