Its tough for me to believe that bringing back Palpatine was anything but a panic decision caused by Disney looking at a hit to their bottom line.
I love Ian and his portrayal. But the whole Palpatine thing seems like a real rush addition, that almost came out of nowhere.
With the whole concept in the ST of handing off Star Wars to a new generation of characters and hero's they dove right back into that pool of the OT in a full frontal fan service.
