Yep. 100% agreed. I thought it was good that they put Bo Katan in a place where her story, and the overall story of Mandalorian civilization/rebirth can be continued; but essentially managed to do a believable 'reset' where the main characters are still Din and Grogu.
You can't disagree with established fact.
Now, what's the deal with the aforementioned Nightsister spirits? I think in their example there's a better case to be made that it's not The Way Things Are Supposed To Work. Are they really the spirits of dead Nightsisters or something else? The OS calls them "spirits" but also "specters".
But that's the thing; he can't "move his essence". That's nonsense. The non-physical plain IS the cosmic force, so to move from one body to another, one must move through it. Doing so would mean one's energy is dispersed into the greater whole and any sense of individuality is annihilated with it. Holding onto said individuality requires something dark side users are simply incapable of by sheer definition; the ability to let go, acceptance, selflessness. They just can't do it, and if they did, that means they've achieved enlightenment and thus no longer an evildoer, and so won't be coming back to inhabit a rotten corpse and cause mayhem on the physical plain, ever.
It is.
This.
That's the whole thing with the Sith though; you can't "cheat" the cosmos. They can kick and scream and claw at eternity but they're all doomed to fail. It's part of what makes them evil. All they can do is drag others into their self-inflicted suffering. Every Sith Lord that ever lived thought that they'd be the one to live forever and get everything they ever wanted . . . and they were all wrong. Sidious is no different.
Indeed. Lucas also said Qui-Gon couldn't manifest as a full ghost. The rules can change. And seeing Palpatine try to circumvent them.is the most Palpatine thing ever since Palpatine Palpatined.
And at that time, he couldn't. There's no contradiction there.
I don't see the contradiction here either. Not from my basic understanding of Star Wars, books and games.
That is between you and your optometrist mate. I try not to get involved.
My bad for thinking it's ok for fictional franchises to have interesting ideas.
I believe so. I personally find Palaptine's return very predictable and inoffensive since it's been done before in books. I thought books were considered ok but perhaps I shouldn't any more.
Sure. It's relevant here only to the degree that one or more participants in the conference call of Imperial warlords, a.k.a. the Shadow Council, shown in the previous episode, may have been working on resurrecting Palpatine, presumably under Project Necromancer.
I mean, it's a Force power - appropriated from the (old) EU, like so much else. We might as well say Luke cannot project an image of himself to another planet.
At the time of Mando S3, he's already in a body, but perhaps they're involved in trying to manufacture a better body for him? As to their chances of success, all we know is that ~24 years later he supposedly wants to jump into Rey.
