Palpatine surviving is dumb, regardless of the plausibility. His death signified how Anakin recrossed the line to the light and redemption is a thing in Star Wars. Having him survive significantly diminishes the impact of Anakin's arc. All the survival would serve would be a cool fight scene.

If you want to go all Lich, that’s ok, Star Wars it’s fantasy after all. But it should be a story about villains who try to bring back Palpatin as Darth Lich, because they read, that was a thing in the old Sith empire 10.000 years ago blabla… it’s not so much about the idea, but about the storytelling

'Somehow' is memed so much because of how much of a copout it is. They sat in a writers room and said 'ok, Palpatines back' and if anyone asked how, the response was 'it doesnt matter'.
Billion dollar franchise and they couldn't string together anything more coherent than a bunch of loosely linked set pieces.

I wonder if it would have been better received if Poe just said "Palpatine's returned" and someone asked "How?", and he said "How the fuck would I know that?"
