It felt like a GM improvising at the last second because Ben and Rey's player found a rule that said they could share items and so Ben won a fight he was supposed to lose and interrupted the planned monologue

It did. Now imagine if he lost that fight. Or he didn't show up at all. Would Palps' plan have been competely fucked? "Shit, you're half of a dyad, i can't drain you. shit shit shit..

It... seems like he was sincere about the ritual to let Rey kill and replace (and in some sense become) him, and the Drain the Dyad thing was a plan B he had in mind (because only with Ben present could killing him be an act of love rather than despair or some shit)

Note that his original plan A seems to have actually been that he did want Kylo to kill Rey so he could take Kylo as a host Because Kylo would've been much more likely to be so far gone to the Dark Side at that point he wouldn't resist being possessed

The one time we see Palpatine talking to his minions *without* Kylo or Rey around (so we know he's not manipulating them) he says he senses "Skywalker's daughter has interfered for the last time" etc So we actually know for a fact he didn't want Rey to survive

I mean of course Palpatine acknowledges Anakin wasn't Darth Vader anymore You throw your boss into a pit to save the Rebels, you don't need any formal paperwork, you can assume you've been fired from the Sith

I mean he used that language even before though, when Vader was loyal. Like an abusive deadname. "the son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi" I mean, that's the retcon reason, obvs it's in the script like that to set up the twist

Well yeah If we accept the new lore from this movie fully, then Palpatine also thinks of Vader and Anakin as separate identities, mainly because he could've possessed Vader if he had to but Anakin killing him left him actually dead

You get the feeling that the whole thing with Luke was Palpatine feeling like the new body situation was getting urgent what with his old one getting along in years and his current apprentice being a fucked up cyborg with an iron lung

I mean that was the Dark Empire answer. I still can't believe Dark Empire is basically canon now
