Oscar Isaac Claims “Somehow, Palpatine Returned” Was Added in A Reshoot

As a huge Star Wars fan, I always felt like Palpatine’s return in The Rise of Skywalker was just…never really explained. They didn’t tell us how he came back, whether it was cloning or some kind of spirit transfer, and just left it mysterious. But honestly, it wasn’t just that that bothered me. The fact that they basically undid his death in Return of the Jedi – which felt so definitive! – and did it so quickly, felt like a sign the whole franchise was a little lost and didn’t quite know where it was going. It felt less like a story and more like they were just trying things out.
