Some elements of the DE comics were beyond cool, and some were beyond campy. It was a classic example (and ROS confirmed it), that some things that can 'work' in comic book stories just won't work on the big screen.

Rogue One and the Vader hallway is that for me. Palpatine's return fusses me little.
Yeah, that was really annoying. I never heard it either.
Here it is if anyone is interested:
When a voice message inserted into an online video game is one of the best things about a movie that really doesn't say much about said movie.
Was this in a novel?
The novelization of the movie.
Yeah, there's still no in-universe explanation as to why he has an Inquisitor-style lightsaber hilt in Solo.
Maybe I killed an Inquistor and took it from him?
I probably killed one yesterday and just can't remember.
I could have sworn that Reva had dumped her Inquisitor lightsaber in the sand, after she had returned Luke to the Lars.
She did.
Obi-Wan likely confiscated and then buried or destroyed it.
Sudden wild and unsubstantiated theory: what if he dismantled it, and this is where Luke got the parts to build his sabre? Kind of a twist on the old "Luke used Qui-Gon's kyber crystal" fan theory, and doesn't account for how he got his crystal. probably couldn't have used either of her's since apparently crystals that have been bled, then purified seem to come out white . . . unless they don't. Sample size on that effect is somewhere between 3 & 5 at the moment.

This is so wrong it's right.
The movie had this dialogue about how Palpatine returned:
AFTAB ACKBAR: It cannot be. The Emperor is dead.
BEAUMONT: Dark science. Cloning. Secrets only the Sith knew.
Edit to add:
As to the inevitable question of whether Beaumont had any idea what he was talking about... the "Rise of Skywalker Visual Dictionary" says he's a(n) historian with a special interest in Jedi and Sith history, and he even visited a number of old Jedi and Sith temple sites to learn more about them. Who knows what strange mysteries may have been described in those inscriptions and artwork, or whatever. Of course, this background on the character isn't mentioned in the movie, so YMMV.
In terms of moviemaking "language," I think it's one of those lines of expository dialogue that we as the audience are meant to accept at face value rather than questioning its veracity or credibility.
