Palpatine is Alive He Won in Episode 9 - Star Wars Theory: In Star Wars Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker, we got Palpatine rising to power then being defeated by Rey. In the movie, he tells Kylo Ren that he was every voice inside his head (Snoke, Vader, Sidious), so is it possible that the force ghosts Rey heard, were from Palpatine as well? This would cause her to believe she needed to fight back and kill him, and thus, fulfilling his prophecy. by Star Wars Theory

Why Palpatine Didn't See Darth Vader's Betrayal - Star Wars Explained: In Star Wars Return of the Jedi...Palpatine was ruling the Galaxy through the Galactic Empire. We all know this. He was all powerful. We know this, too. Why couldn't he see Vader's betrayal? Why didn't he know Anakin Skywalker would eventually bring balance to the force (from the Jedi's POV)? Sidious was extremely powerful, but there's a reason he couldn't see Anakin Skywalker's turn...If he did...I don't believe he would have spent all those years recruiting him in The Revenge of the Sith. He never saw Darth Maul's death, nor did he see the Death Star's destruction at Luke Skywalker's hand. by Star Wars Theory

I Will Change Your View of Anakin's Turn to the Dark Side in 3 Minutes: Anakin Skywalker's turn to the dark side was 'fast' in the eyes of many Star Wars fans. However, in 3 minutes I will explain to you how it is not fast at all, and why his turn makes so much sense.
