Rise of Skywalker’s narrative isn’t bad because Poe said “somehow Palpatine returned”, but because that movie’s narrative is “somehow Palpatine returned”, and Poe literally saying it like that embodies the entire problem perfectly.
Maybe watch the actual movie instead of just consuming clips from online reviewers? It is actually explained. Twice.
Both in the scene before Poe said the line, and immediately after in the same scene Poe says the line. Sure the editting is janky in that movie (and they move past it quickly because Poe doesn’t care about how Palpatine returned) so you may have missed it.
If you were criticizing the movie for janky editing making it difficult to understand what’s going on, then I’d agree. But continuing with saying things to conform to a meme which is you could prove is obviously false if you actually watch the movie is a bit silly at this point.
Being explained doesn’t make it a good idea or well explained. It was an excuse.
For the record, I watched the movie here in Copenhagen in Imperial, at the time the largest cinema in Denmark, on its premier. Walking out of the cinema I noticed most of the people didn’t seem all too… Cheerful.
I watched it twice afterwards, the following years, with a mix of other people. The Rise of Skywalker has only gotten worse in subsequent viewings.
The movie isn’t difficult to understand. Maybe for you, but that says a lot more about just… you. It’s simply an awful execution of a bunch of really bad ideas.
