We've seen it all before.

Unfortunately, there is nothing new from this entry in the Star Wars lore.
You can tell that the writers were trying to undo the mess that was TLJ. After building up the return of Luke and the mysterious Snoke, and then losing them so pointlessly, it seems that the story of ROS is just a patch up job with little pay off.
It's frustrating as there was so much anticipation for this film and bringing back Palpatin just comes across lazy with the two previous trilogies meaning nothing in terms of the prophecies and to make Rey a descendant of his just ruins the character development.
