The battle between Rey and Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker may have actually revealed something about the Emperor's plans in Return of the Jedi.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has improved Return of the Jedi’s throne room scene by providing additional context for Palpatine’s master plan. The Star Wars sequel trilogy took much inspiration from the original trilogy, utilizing parallels as important storytelling tools while still attempting to take the Skywalker saga in a new direction. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is seen by many as a straightforward retelling of the original Star Wars – now better known as A New Hope.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY When The Rise of Skywalker brought back Palpatine, it was easy to interpret this as an over reliance on the story of the original Star Wars trilogy. The final climactic duels in both Return of The Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker do however share some parallels that provide a more interesting interpretation of Palpatine’s evil plans.
As Palpatine says in the scene where he and Rey come face to face for the first time, “your hatred, your anger. You want to kill me. That is what I want. Kill me, and my spirit will pass into you. As all the Sith live in me, you will be Empress. We will be one.” The parallels between Palpatine’s taunting of Luke and his plans with Rey would certainly suggest that the Emperor anticipated Luke would kill him, and that he then expected to possess the body of his killer.
Why Palpatine's Return Of The Jedi Trap Failed If Palpatine planned to take possession of Luke – or even Vader – in Return of the Jedi, as The Rise of Skywalker suggests, there is one very specific reason this plan did not work. Palpatine tried to manipulate Luke into relying on his anger, the same way Palpatine manipulated Anakin Skywalker two decades before. Anakin, however, had lost all hope by then.
And, though Vader was the one to kill Palpatine in the end, this act wasn’t done out of anger or hatred. It was done out of love, out of concern for the safety of his son. If Palpatine needed someone to strike him down in anger, Luke’s optimism and the remnants of whom Anakin used to be stopped his plan entirely, the same way Rey’s reliance on all the Jedi, her love for her friends in the Resistance, and the successful redemption of Ben Solo gave her the strength to fight as well.
