Not sure why this popped in my head… (maybe cause I was daydreaming about my Cantina LEGO set now that I ordered this morning)… but you seriously question how Palpatine survived ROTJ yet this is a movie with Force Ghosts, people projecting their self images from across the galaxy with their mind and lifting items that are likely tons in weight by just “focusing” and feeling this magical force? 
Yes, the ‘force’, and the rules that it abides by, as set in the canon of the series, has been established. People dying, then surviving, from being blowed up in a blue force explosion, then blowed up again when the death star bit it, has never been established. So yes, how the f*ck did Palpatine survive that? I know…its lazy, convenient writing that makes no sense in context, and it shits all over the canon of the films. Bringing Palpatine back essentially ruins the redemption of Vader’s character in the first 3 films. It doesn’t make a lick of sense, even in a universe with invisible forces et al.
I thought it was explained he was cloned and if his other counterparts can force ghost, why not take over the body… to learn the ways of the Sith, one must join the Dark Side! 
Hey, that’s what I was about to say. The Dark Side brought him back from the dead. Remember in the 3rd movie when Palpatine tells Aniken that there was a Sith Lord that could stop love ones from dying and even bring them back from the dead. Why else did Darth Vader join the Dark Side?

Hes a dark sith. While i dont agree with the script or the choice, is what it is i guess.
He used his force powers to land in a tie fighter and zoomed off criticaly injured. Or maybe Vaders droid picked him up cause u know, Vader did slice him in half.
Vader sliced him in half? I thought he just threw him over the ledge… Are you mistaking Darth Maul being cut in half?
Somewhere on this forum is a post that has spoilers for darth vader. The picture shown is vader and his droid and the droid says “hey, padme must have been close to Obi-wan” and sure as sh*t vader slaps him with his light saber
Yeah, we’re talking movies not Darth Vader #5…
And im explaining how Palpatine survived 
seeing as this comic is “in continuity “ And set during that time frame.
I’m not following… how is Palpatine surviving ROJ related to Vader cutting his current droid in half (which is right after Empire Strikes Back story) related to Palpatine becoming some messed up looking clone 30 years later? Are you on drugs? You really should lay off the drugs…
The droid getting sliced in half takes place before ROJ. Assumin gthe deoid repairs itself or someone else does, maybe he is pissed at Vader for doing it. So in revenge he saves Palpatine thus leading to the next set of movies
Yeah… umm… doubtful but okay. I don’t see droids seeking revenge, not in their programming.
And droids shouldnt be able to think for themselves, yet they do! Geez imagine that! And in a fictional movie about people possessing powers and faster then light speed ships!
Are they thinking or reacting based on their programming? Remember, C3PO wouldn’t even tell them the Sith Language cause he was “prohibited”… they had to reset him and extract it from his programming language to allow him to read and recite. In a world full of droids, giving them programming to seek revenge, Star Wars would have already ended in the first movie cause they would have already revolted and killed all biological life…
Maybe thats the theme to the next set of movies. Hell they have Killer Bounty Hunter robots after all.
Thats why they put in superwoman space Leia in episode 8 if she could survive flying through space so can Palapatine.
And a DROID helped her back into the room … OMG i smell a conspiracy theory coming !!
Teddy Bears beat the largest most well armed military in the universe… You would think Stormtrooper armor could withstand a large pebble being thrown at it with less than alarming force.
THE EMOTIONS THIS MORNING!! This finale was incredible!!
Armor? Empire goes cheap on armor… they recruit minions from all these habitable worlds so they can die in pointless star wars battles…
