Why Didn’t Palpatine Use His Child?

Emperor Palpatine / Darth Sidious | StarWars.com

One of the biggest questions I had in Star Wars Rise of Skywalker, was why didn’t Palpatine groom his own child to be his successor? Rey Skywalker is the granddaughter of Palpatine and he spend so much effort trying to convert her to the dark side, so how did his own flesh and blood escape and more importantly why?

Besides the Death Star, there should be nothing in the galaxy as important as Palpatine’s only child. And I child like this I imagine would be groomed in Sith teachings for their entire life. And let’s say this child saw what the Empire really was and decided to escape, how powerful would this child be? Certainly, powerful enough to outrun the most powerful being in the galaxy for a long time and someone who shouldn’t be able to be stabbed to death so easily?

Shorter Seasons Are Better

*Spoilers*

One of best shows to come out of Disney+ is The Bad Batch, a tv show that follows a group genetically altered Clones, who go on missions and kill everything in their path. The show is very entertaining, filled with action, deep emotions, good plot, pretty much everything Star Wars fans have been begging the studio for years. However, I find one flaw to the show. Its too long.

There are some episodes, not many in the 16-episode season, feel like fillers. My main interest in the show is seeing The Bad Batch on the run from the newly formed Empire and one of their rogue members Crosshairs, who might be one of the greatest villains Star Wars has ever made.

I would’ve liked to see the show maybe be about 10-12 episodes at the most. I mean the filler episodes did have some value. They added some depth to some characters and some plot points found themselves later on in the season, but I really hated coming off such a high on some episodes and then brought back down to Earth an episode later.

So, what do you think about longer season? Would you rather have more seasons, or more episodes and less seasons?
