TRoS very explicitly doesn't bother differentiating Sheev's "death" at Exegol from his "death" at Endor. By opening up the idea that "blowing up his physical form doesn't actually kill his spirit/essence/consciousness" and not resolving that in any way, they're just setting us up for The Immortal Emperor. Even if Ian stops coming back to play the role, TRoS also sets up the idea of him being able to body hop into someone who murders him.

“NO ONE’S EVER REALLY GONE” is such a pitch perfect line to describe how dumb the plot is. Ian Mcdiarmid was one of the fun parts of the movie, but lol at this Saturday morning cartoon villain Pandora’s box they opened up.

“We killed him extra good this time with Jedi magic” yeah sure see you next Saturday at 10.

E: since this is the book thread, I am aware they did that like twice in the old EU, but also I pointedly didn’t bother reading those back in the day. Something about three eyed clones, but maybe still handled better than the films did?
