Honestly.. if we're going with Palpatine surviving, there's no reason Ben didn't.

After all, he just fell over and disappeared.  Not like he was dropped down a hole into a reactor that exploded, or anything. :rofl: 

Nah, Kylo Ren/Ben Solo wasn't even a real Sith.  He was basically Palpatine's unpaid intern.  He ain't just gonna walk off death itself like everyone's favorite evil space wizard.

Definitely not a Sith, he was. Knight of Ren and Stimpy or something

There was a novel telling a history about Palpatine having a some clones around the galaxy and how siths "survived" by passing their essence into other living beings or even objects. 

Sadly Disney ditched all of that. At less they could have a explanation on the Palpatines return on the ROS and the history wouldn't have ended being a huge meme.

All they had to do was completely refilm the Last Jedi to include Palpatine's resurrection, having that be the real story of the entire film, basically turning the entire opening crawl of RoS into its own screenplay. In fact, I consider the Last Jedi as a lost film that, when finally found, would seamlessly and without rush, tell a beautiful tale of the battle between good and evil. In another dimension...

That'd make a pretty short film, wouldn't it?  He dies, and his spirit inhabits a clone body and that's all she wrote.

Pretty much the same as in those terrible old novels.  He dies, his ghost goes to possess a new body that immediately starts falling apart because of his evil dark side magic, lather, rinse, and repeat.

Not mine, but funny all the same:

That would've made the tantrums feel a bit less undignified.

The idea of such a pathetic whiny character getting another movie was even considered is a bad sign.  Between his temper tantrums and admiral snivel the First Order was a joke at best.

Nah, it's just a sign of Business as Usual at Disney LucasFilm.

Bringing a character back from the dead unnecessarily for the sake of a hackneyed redemption arc and the promise of The Continuing Adventures is right up Dave Filoni's alley.  So much so that it'd be like the third or fourth time he'd have pitched such a story in the last couple years.  That was the entire premise of The Book of Boba Fett, bringing Boba's dusty arse back from being sarlacc chow to be a crime lord in name only who saves Mos Espa from the real crime lords.  That was Asajj Ventress's story in Tales of the Underworld too, her coming back from the dead unable to go back to her old life and becoming an antihero.

I kind of imagine the meeting worked out like that one Jimmy Neutron meme.  "Dave, this is the third time you've pitched us a story about a lame and overhyped villain coming back from the dead to become a nominal good guy.  Maybe get some new ideas?  Ones that aren't demonstrably shite?"
