Well for one, Palpatine "died". So he would have not only had to have been...revived somehow, he would have had to do so in a way that prevented Luke or Leia or any of the force ghosts from sensing his return, while simultaneously allowing his followers or Empire remnants (who weren't in the First Order, for reasons) to be aware. And I'm assuming Star Destroyers, especially that many, would take tons of time so it would have been before his message (we don't know how long that was broadcasting for) But if Snoke really was just a puppet of his, then TFO was also essentially his as well, so why didn't he provide them with all these star destroyers all this time? The second you start thinking about it, it makes no logical sense. And I'm willing to suspend my disbelief about a lot of things. Star Wars is a science fantasy film after all, but this even violates its internal logic which is the issue
That may be, but he's back because he's a meme.
Its hard to tell the exact intention of the talker, but in the original interview (below), he is specifically being asked about Palpatine's return idea, and he immediately brings KK to the topic.

‘Star Wars’ Screenwriter Chris Terrio on Ending the 42-year ‘Skywalker’ Saga
Screenwriter Chris Terrio won an Academy Award for writing Argo, the 2013 Oscar winner for Best Picture directed by Ben Affleck. That experience, however, would not prepare him to step into the wor…
So let me get this straight.
BvS - He only came in at the end to do dialogue re-writes.
JL - Joss Whedon re-wrote most of his work.
TRoS - He was forced to write to corporate's story beats.
pretty much.
Now that we've seen where it's all going, I think I'd rather watch both Ant-Man movies back to back than ever revisit Abrams Wars.
And I can't even remember a single thing that happened in EITHER Ant-Man movie.
She's one of the most successful producers in the history of cinema. If she can't bring Disney Star Wars to success, who can?
Studio execs generally require certain things in the movies they make especially tentpole blockbusters. Some people can work within that frame and some cannot. Plenty of talented people work on these blockbusters but turn out pretty average. You need a solid team behind the overall production team to support them and be pretty hands off while also being fair. Like, at a certain point it does become the studio's fault because they allowed this situation to happen: 2 directors for a trilogy without any solid framework. Marvel puts out some aggressively OK films but they remain a constant because there's years of planning involved that isn't really seen outside Marvel. Like, you'd assume a Batman film with Ben Affleck's influence would be OK, but... nope. A competent studio is arguably more important than the film's crew as their framework will allow for the films to be made well.
Someone with the foresight to map out a new trilogy for the most lucrative franchise Disney has purchased and to not release a new film 6 months after a large release? That's not to mention the poor judgement in picking directors and writers. She's been successful in the past, but this is far from her best work.
When Carrie died and Colin was fired it was scheduled for May 2019.
It needed a singular vision. That's it. It would have been fine if JJ did the entire thing, it would have been fine if Rian did the entire thing. Both clearly wanted something different from Star Wars and it shows. It's not like the MCU where Feige plans this shit in way advance or Harry Potter where there's an established framework already with the books or the Game of Thrones seasons (before it catches up with the books). It was doomed once it was revealed there wasn't a plan for the 3 where 1 person would direct all 3 or there was an agreement on the screenplay / writing.
1. Delay the movie's release to December 2020
Terrio's comment is quite interesting.
Because it does clashes with Trevorrow's account from few days ago, where he said that Palpatine's wasn't part of his proposed script. As a matter of fact, he sounds surprised that JJ went with such direction.

Which means that either he is lying, or KK didn't originally demanded such approach until JJ returned.
And again, it's surprising how all the involved parties (actors, directors, executives) have been -- at minimum --, contradicting each other in such public display.
If only Disney had the guts to release a proper Post-mortem Behind The Scenes of the whole trilogy. Guess we will have to settle with these slow dripping.
TFA had problems too. Abrams was ripping his hair out about the initial deadline for TFA and then Ford had to essentially break his leg for Kennedy to grant a delay. Shit is nuts.
Nah. TFA had production issues too. TLJ was the only one without production issues. RJ delivered his cut 5 months before release. JJ delivered his cut of TROS end of november.
I cannot tell if JJ being a hack is a new thing because he ruined Star Wars or people actually believe his prior work is bad?
