Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has improved Return of the Jedi’s throne room scene by providing additional context for Palpatine’s master plan. The Star Wars sequel trilogy took much inspiration from the original trilogy, utilizing parallels as important storytelling tools while still attempting to take the Skywalker saga in a new direction. Star Wars: The Force Awakens is seen by many as a straightforward retelling of the original Star Wars – now better known as A New Hope. The Rise of Skywalker, however, despite possibly utilizing fan service and nostalgia to the point of overkill, did provide a new perspective for Return of the Jedi’s emotional climax.
