No explination will be made on how Palpatine survived
He will just show up and they won't explain how he is still alive
shareI'm still waiting for an explanation on how Captain Phasma survived. That ain't going to happen either.

Also how did Poe survive
shareHe just stuck himself into a body sized mystery box.
shareNever mind Palpatine.
Young girls living a Bedouin lifestyle alone in the desert end-up as illiterate uneducated slaves, sex slaves, dead, or all of the above.
That Rey survived her childhood is a joke.
But then again, as we'll find-out in Episode IX, she never was a child; she's a cartoon superhero.
I think the FORCE just blinked her into existence. Disney magic at work.
shareI'd expect nothing less from this turd trilogy.
shareA good question, for another time.
shareJust rewatch Return of the Jedi.
Vader throws Palpatine down the tower shaft, Palpatine falls and then disappears into a hurried bluish mist which envelopes the shaft and the entire upper tower area, transferring his being into the force.
We never actually see him die, and for those of you saying he hit the reactor core and died--the reactor core is dozens of miles below the Emperor's tower, let alone the surface of the Death Star, it would take Palpatine like 10 minutes of free falling to finally reach the Reactor Core.
Palpatine's consciousness makes its way to his clone body and his contingency forces in the Unknown Regions.
"We never actually see him die, and for those of you saying he hit the reactor core and died--the reactor core is dozens of miles below the Emperor's tower, let alone the surface of the Death Star, it would take Palpatine like 10 minutes of free falling to finally reach the Reactor Core."
He DIDN'T hit the reactor core. Look carefully at the bottom of the shaft, there is a glowing ring or two or something around the edge, that indicates to me some kind of energy field or force field, and Palpatine hit that when he fell. I'm guessing the impact with a form of energy after the long fall meant that his body was instantaneously vaporised into energy, or that his body was so filled with Force power that it all dissipated with the force of the impact into the rush of energy we see. Sounds pretty final to me.
Think Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Evil wizard Voldemort disappearing into a mist at the end. To be reborn again and again.
shareIn my opinion the groundwork for Palpatine to come back has already been laid out by the OT and the PT.
In the OT, we see the Jedi becoming force ghosts, extending their "lives" beyond death.
In the PT, Palpatine speaks of Plagueis having the ability of extending his life beyond death.
Plagueis is supposedly the only Sith with that specific ability. Yet Palpatine was the only one on record interested in finding out how he did it.
Palps showed himself to have a power we've not seen from any other Sith on the big screen.
It makes sense for him to be the one that figures it out.
