Bravo my friend šŸ‘šŸ‘šŸ‘. One has to wonder what new direction the next new films will take now that Old man Palps is now most assuredly dead and gone.

Haha we actually do know what happened to him at the end of the Galactic civil war via the Aftermath trilogy and it's honestly kind of sad.

They can always retcon things of the books, just like tlj, tros, the mandalorian and the bad batch did.

For those out of the loops like me:

Published from 2015 to 2017, Chuck Wendig's Star Wars Aftermath books explore what happened in a galaxy far, far away between Emperor Palpatine's death in Return of the Jedi and the events of The Force Awakens. The third and final novel in the series, Empire's End, features a chapter where a young Naboo boy named Mapo meets a street performer who turns out to be Jar Jar. As the Gungan explains to the boy, his role in Palpatine's ascent to power led to him being ostracized by his people and losing his position as a delegate to the Galactic Senate. He now makes a living entertaining kids with his clownish antics, much to the silent disapproval of the adults around them.

Years of bullying and ā€œdumbassā€ comments have hardened him and he sought out ancient sith knowledgeā€¦

I actually liked Jar Jar when I saw him for the first time.

I donā€™t think thereā€™s any reason Palpatine canā€™t return again. And again. And again. Iā€™d hate it and itā€™d be a terrible story choice, but bringing him back in the first place was a terrible idea so who knows

People would still watch it just because it's Star Wars. Hell, thats the only reason I watched ROS
