I feel like when people make fun of this, it isn't so much Palpy coming back that they have a problem with, but the sudden and unexpected nature of it. It's such hack writing, and it only happened that way because audiences didn't like TLJ and the people making ROS decided to backtrack on every single one of TLJ's plot threads out of fear instead of making expanding on them for a satisfying finale.

Yeah, watching those three makes it seem pretty clear that they where made by different people who didn't like what the previous one had done and had an entirely different vision of where star wars should go. Plus a dose of "we want to bring back old characters for fan service, but those characters need to gtfo of the way of these new stars". And then for the two of the biggest ones, they had them die in the dumbest ways.
