That one time Leia knocked Palpatine over when he was on his bed.

Are you kidding me? Palpatine is basically a more cunning and slightly less corrupt version of your current President.

It makes total sense.

Another possibility that the Ahsoka series really opened up was the possible existence of galaxies and societies beyond the main Star Wars galaxy.

In the absence of a structured Empire or Republic, a new military or consortium from another galaxy could pose as a challenge.

That... actually makes sense.

...Hm, fair enough.
Hot take: Palpatine returning with a fleet of planet-killing Star Destroyers makes sense when you remember he’s an EXTREMELY petty man who can’t cope with the fact that he lost at Endor.

I’ll go even further to say it makes perfect sense because he practically looked dead into the camera and announced that he’s so powerful he can cheat death. Also, his entire MO is being 12 steps ahead of everybody and having backup plans for his backup plans.

It always worked for me in TROS because, much like how he already worked in the Clone Wars, Palpatine was willing to manipulate various sides of a war and was open to any contingency to win in the end.

But what he thought would be an easy takeover ended with the galaxy uniting to take him down.

I really like what they did in the High Republic, they made a genuine threat to the Jedi and the galaxy and it wasn't a giant super weapon nor was it another dark spider/Sith.

I'd love to see them further explore the Underworld, pirates (especially with all the governments taken out currently), etc

“Yep, that's it. Dagobah.”

“[Beeps].”

“No, I'm not gonna change my mind about this. I'm not picking up any cities or technology. Massive life-form readings, though. There's something alive down there.”

“[Beeps]?”

“Yes. I'm sure it's perfectly safe for droids.”

Rey starts up a new Jedi order in her image + what she learns from the texts, but various governments around the galaxy are concerned that it could lead to a repeat of past events. Villain would thus be someone with the mentality that the Jedi shouldn't exist, creating an anti-Jedi military faction.

If we should have new major villains for Rey and her crew after Exegol, there’s always the case for new idealists seeking to take the galaxy for themselves in the power vacuum.

Or even rival Force factions. If Tava Ren survives past Exegol, she’d be my top candidate.

"And everyday I’m grateful that the way I was supposed to do it didn’t work out, because the new idea that it forced me to explore is so much better than the original idea would have been,"

Shawn Levy compares his movie (Starfighter) to Return of the Jedi more than any other Star Wars in terms of tone .

One thing I’ll always be thankful for, both in and out of Star Wars, is my mutual community.

People come & go, either going other ways or having a falling out. Or things get slow or rough, in & out of fandom.

But I’m always happy for my circle of mutuals who support me, and who I support in turn.
