JJ being forced to open his own damn Mystery Box for once in his career was poetic justice and as we can see clearly demonstrated that trying to play the Mystery Box straight and give an actual big reveal that lives up to all this hype is basically impossible

It's like that bit in hbomb's Sherlock video about how the preoccupation with talking about the cool stuff going on offscreen just made the stuff happening onscreen into a anticlimactic letdown.

Palpatine was the only good thing about TROS in my opinion. Without him it'd be an utterly worthless movie

I honestly think he is the worst element. I think Kylo would have made for a far more interesting villain.

I do think that the narrative workings that had to happen to make room for Palpatine might have buried the movie because none of it is interesting but when McDiarmid is onscreen, I mean, he's real good at doing the thing he does.

He is. He is very good at being a villain. But man, I just can't get over like a whole navy of ships fully crewed just showing up out of nowhere.

yeah that's all pretty bad. Understand, I literally only mean when he is onscreen and absolutely none of the context. Seeing him go all Universal Monster while connected to some kind of HR Giger contraption is more raw

I liked the interview with McDiarmid saying how surprised he was to get the call and that he did not and still does not understand how Palpatine is supposed to be alive but just rolled with it and went as hard as he could

He always said the fun part of playing Palpatine was getting to be pure evil without any nuance or shades of gray and TRoS somehow escalates this characterization beyond where it was before

He's like not even a person at all in this movie, just the tottering undead hulk powered by pure malice Which is why it's so fucking funny that this is the same movie that reveals that he has a son
