There could have been other finishes that didn't include bringing back Palpatine, but I agree, this didn't undo the OT. And I don't remember any uproar when he was brought back for Dark Empire. Lol, but I guess we didn't have the internet to express it then either! I hated Dark Empire pretty much solely because I thought bringing back Palps was stupid. it was stupid then, but to a lesser degree than now. Because now there is also the Bringing Balance to the Force thing, ie that Anakin was destined (after bringing darkness) to destroy the Sith. Which he finally did in Jedi (Palpatine and himself). With the new film this is greatly diminished: was Palps ever destroyed? For how long, 5 minutes? Anakin now is a s best a proto-stepping stone for Rey Palpatine-Skywalker who brings real and ever-lasting balance. This is how storytelling dies with thunderous applause. (ok not that thunderous) Rise of Corporate fanfiction.
