** And for why Rey's lightsaber color is yellow? Yellow lightsabers indicate Jedi Sentinels, who honed their skills in a balance of combat ''and'' scholarly pursuits, often acting as guardians of the Jedi. It could symbolize Rey acting as an important guardian to the new Jedi legacy and her coming into terms with her past she's learned to protect a better future, by using both her skills in combat ''and'' knowledge of the Force.

** Note that Palpatine did the same thing in ROTJ: he kept telling Luke that giving into hate and trying to kill him (or later killing Vader) would cause him to fall to the Dark Side, which kept reminding Luke to reject that path whereas if he'd just kept his mouth shut, the odds of Luke taking that step would have been far higher. In other words, when he has his primary opponent face to face and he's on the verge of total victory, Palpatine can't help gloating. And he doesn't learn from the first time that didn't work out for him.

The first edit was a correction. FINN said the Holdo Maneuver was one in a million.

* Poe's dismissal of the suggestion of using the [[RammingAlwaysWorks "Holdo Manuever"]] to get the upper hand against the Final Order as being a "one in a million chance" does make sense the more one thinks about it. Holdo's hyperspace-ramming of the ''Supremacy'' was a last-ditch effort to buy time for the Resistance, and while it did inflict heavy damage against the flagship and took a few Star Destroyers with it, the Supremacy actually ''survived'' the attack ([[AllThereInTheManual per word of supplemental material]]). Not to mention Holdo was ''very'' lucky that she even had time to pull it off at all, since her move put the ''Raddus'' right in firing range of the rival fleet's firepower and the ship would have been decimated in ''seconds'' if she hadn't launched just in time. Bringing even a ship like that alone with a few snub fighters to the Final Order's fleet of ''hundreds'' of Star Destroyers would be tantamount to painting a giant bullseye right on its bridge. Not to mention the Resistance is still very strapped for resources by the time of the Battle of Exegol; the biggest ship they have on hand is the modestly-sized ''Tantive IV'' (which in all likelihood wouldn't cause anywhere near the scale the damage of the ''Raddus'' hyperspace jump) and it's not like they have the time or means to secure another ship the size of the ''Raddus'', much less sacrifice such a valuable resource on a maneuver that has no guarantee of success. And even if the maneuver ''did'' work, it would only put a small dent in the Final Order's vast army at ''best''.

*More like Fridge Sadness, but, Poe's expression when he said "Somehow, Palpatine returned." The actor most likely made that expression because he couldn't believe how stupid that is. Poe, on the other hand.... his parents were involved in Operation Cinder which was put in place by Palpatine in the event of his death. That operation kept his parents away longer than expected, and his mother was in space longer, which most likely contributed to her getting Bloodburn (A Star Wars terminal illness that pilots get when they spend too much time in space. The Star Wars Timeline book confirmed that Poe's mother died of Bloodburn). So, all that happened was all for nothing.

** Also, Rey and Ben, who ultimately finish the Skywalker Saga, are a Dyad in the Force because they are the grandchildren of Sheev Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker, which in many ways was ''the'' core relationship and prime mover in the Saga from the beginning. Palpatine doesn't get to eliminate the Jedi Order and successfully conquer the galaxy without Anakin helping him in the Prequel Trilogy, Palpatine doesn't get killed and freedom fully restored without Anakin turning on him in the Original Trilogy, and now the grandchildren of both of them thwart his plans to end the Jedi and rule the galaxy once and for all.

### There is also the fact that the Chosen One prophecy technically says that the ultimate balance would be brought ''through'' the Chosen One, not directly ''by'' him. And Rey ultimately owes her whole ''existence'' to Anakin, as she was only given birth through a failed clone of Palpatine created during his time on Exegol after Anakin had destroyed his original body. Without Anakin killing Palpatine over Endor, there would never have even been a Rey.

* The existence of the Xyston-Class means that weapons capable of making an EarthShatteringKaboom are no longer giant space stations and star-sucking planet-structures. It is entirely possible to make a massive fleet of ships capable of killing planets. Knowledge that such a thing is possible will spread, and Xyston-Class equivalent ships will be sought by any warlike power with resources to spare. And nobody seems willing or able to try and stop or at least regulate the oncoming proliferation. The nature of warfare in the Galaxy is irrevocably changed, more terrible than ever before.

** That's not how pregnancy works. There's a lot of variables and so many things can go wrong: stillbirth, miscarriage, infertility. Plus, if he's close to death, he wouldn't have time to get pregnant and wait out the gestation period, and he might die before he gets the chance to possess the baby. Plus there's no guarantee the baby would be force-sensitive. So, if Rey was possessed by Palpatine, we wouldn't need to worry about that. Also I'm not sure if the Force would create a baby in Palps-Possessed Rey's body.

*** Force lightning reflection is a technique only possible with Windu's personally-crafted lightsaber form, Vaapad; this Form VII variant was all about accepting the fury of the opponent, transforming themselves into one half of a superconducting loop, with the other half being the power of darkness inherent in the opponent. The core discipline of Vapaad is the user accepting that they have inherent darkness within them, but at the same time not letting that darkness consume them. Rey chooses to fight for the Jedi and the Light Side of the Force while still acknowledging her dark lineage.

** When you consider the outrage he felt in losing a possible heir with Luke's refusal to turn back in ''Return of the Jedi'', this does somewhat imply that, even with his immense knowledge of the Dark Side, his own revival contingency was something then ''he'' wasn't sure would work. Suggesting he was working with incomplete data and took a shot-in-the-dark gamble for what he knew might've been his last chance at reclaiming his Empire.
