'Somehow, Palpatine Returned' Is Star Wars' Most Roastable Line

The final installment of the Skywalker saga has been met with near-universal contempt, but Twitter is particularly miffed over one especially dumb line. In The Rise of Skywalker,  pilot Poe Dameron (played by Oscar Isaac) explains to resistance fighters that "Palpatine somehow returned." The very vague statement, which provides absolutely no explanation, is really all we get for the context of an important villain's return. People on Twitter have been roasting the shoddy storytelling to no end, and it's pretty entertaining.
