Does anyone else think bringing Palpatine back is cheap fanservice?

Apparently I need to be more direct with my jokes. Thedidn’t give it away.
I got the joke, just saying bringing back Sheev is going to take some serious retconning.
Yup. Hardly a new facet of the SW lore.
No more than the EU did back in the early 90s.
Because its mythology, where good spirits exist. Evil ones can exist too with minimal retconning.
Though decades later when creating Clone Wars, George decided that Dark Side users couldn't have force ghosts, which is why we never got that scene with Revan and Darth Bane in the Mortis Arc.
But we have seen types of spirits that were not force ghosts in the new canon. The Night Sisters ghosts for one.

I think Sith can possess items, or haunt the areas of their demise, like the Dagobah cave, I think where the DS2 was destroyed had some kind of darkside presence too, but my memory is faulty on that. I haven't read any EU since the early 2000's.
Could that possibly be because the Dark Side users hadn’t found a way yet? A big part of Palpatine’s character is his search for immortality. What that means I believe will play a big part in TRoS. It brings things full circle.
I’m sure it won’t be the same way as with the Jedi. It will be a corrupted form of their version of immortality — by becoming one with the living Force. But it will be something similar. But this was definitely something that was foretold already all the way back in ROTS with the Plagueis/opera scene. The scene obviously meant to fill Anakin with hope over the possibility of Padme’s death. But I also think it serves a double-meaning. I think Lucas always had a third trilogy planned and wanted to bring back Palpatine at some point in 7, 8 and 9. It’s just too convenient of a plot device and it never felt 100% fulfilled to me based on the saga when it was just I-VI.

the Sith Haunting objects is a thing yes, and has happened already in the canon a couple times.
Put something in the movie that the fans would actually enjoy? A break from the previous few movies, but let's give it a shot.
It could be very interesting.
I personally hold the movies to a MUCH higher standard than the garbage EU of days gone by.
The fact that Sheev is coming back is deeply troubling. There's no way to not make it stupid unless he's limited to a dream/vision or flashback.
In your opinion.
My opinions are 97% fact, 3% sarcasm.
Nope.
Christ, you're a pedant.
It's just a flesh wound!
