In light of the recent interviews that brought up again the controversial "somehow Palpatine returned"...

Return of the Jedi showed Palpatine's downfall as a consequence of his arrogance. Because even the most strategic player, after achieving significant success, eventually overplays his hand. Believing he could easily undermine a father-son bond in the same way he distrupted and exploited Vader's friendships, marriage and entire systems, is simply the overreach of someone who has started perceiving themselves as omnipotent. Palpatine's expectation of Luke to submit to his will without any proper build up, crucial in grooming his father, is the pinnacle of his delusions of grandeur. This perception is reinforced by Vader's decades of passivity under Palpatine's command, consumed by hatred and lacking any purpose beyond inflicting suffering on others, which makes Palpatine directly attempt to kill Luke in front of him without thinking of consequences.

That said "somehow Palpatine returned" ultimately doesn't fit well with the narrative explained above. Palpatine is fundamentally intended to be the antagonist of Anakin's tragedy, making it customary for his ultimate demise to come at the hands of the individual whose entire existence has been ravaged by his schemes, to preserve the last remaining piece of his family.

Return of the Jedi illustrated this by making Anakin the final decider of everyone's fate in the final twist, not Luke, who was the hero. That was Anakin's demon to defeat. This is why I believe Palpatine should have been omitted from the sequel trilogy. Not only to prevent leaving a bitter taste over the resolution of Episode 6 but also because the sequels needed to establish their own villains.

Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend. Darth Plagueis…was a dark lord of the Sith so powerful and so wise…he could use the Force to influence the midi-chlorians… to create… Iife. He had such a knowledge ofthe dark side…he could even keep the ones he cared about…from dying. He became so powerful…the only thing he was afraid of was…Iosing his power. Which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew. Then his apprentice killed him in his sleep. It's ironic. He could save others from death…but not himself.
