Lots of jewellery. Got to bring it all back to the old volcano. No fly zone for eagles, again. Damn.
FWIW, Palpatine also came back in the original storyline past ROTJ before Disney retconned the EU. Though they didn’t gloss over the “how” bit (he always intended to survive forever and had a clone factory hidden on some planet and used something similar to the force ghost, only he was able to posses his clones).
In the original story, he threatens Luke and his friends while Luke is alone, so Luke goes, “ok I’ll join the dark side”, gets some training, then switches back the first time he gets ordered to do something he didn’t like.
The basic message was “turning to the dark side was only so final for some Jedi because the order itself considered it something that couldn’t he undone, while Luke did it easily”. Some of the video games touched on this, too, where the light side and dark side were just tools and it was how you used them that determined good and evil. It was also a big theme in ROTJ itself, though not heavily explored after Vader turns back.
There’s hints of this in the sequels, but IMO they didn’t handle it that well, especially with Luke and Kylo.
Long ago I read some incredibly cursed parody along the lines of “if LotR was a Disney animated film”. The songs were absolutely horrifying. I can’t find it right now, and I think it’s best not to subject you to it anyway.
To be fair, the resistance being flabbergasted and in the dark at the return of their dead arch nemesis is actually quite reasonable. The return itself also harkens back to the prequels when Palpatine mentions Darth Plagueis.
The reason the Disney era movies are so underwhelming is a lack of soul and other writing blunders.
Honestly, the idea that the good guys win and then forget that they have to continue to be vigilant and let the evil they defeated come back is as topical now as it was in 2015
Probably would make more financial sense to Disney to just wait until it becomes public domain
I don’t know man, the rate we’re going 2044 ain’t lookin too good…
Sauron checks under the couch cushions and BOOM, more profit!
This is kind of the plot of the Shadow of War game, but that’s just a non-cannon (I hope) video game, so it was fun
Imagine all the Hobbits solo spin off shows that i you cant pay me to watch.
After first ring got destroyed the eruption of Mt. Doom was so loud that Sam and Frodo got tinnitus.
It rings in their ears constantly. Sauron will live on until hobbits find a cure or become deaf or until they both die.
