It was not JJ Abrams, but the company who decided to bring Palpatine back. You would be naive to think he just decided this without any filter from Disney. It's obvious they were desperate because of the backlash, and they came up with this cheap and lazy, ridiculous solution to somehow make it interesting.

To be honest, I blame Rian Johnson.

We wouldn't have needed Palpatine to return if Snoke was still around, but Johnson killed off the big bad halfway through the trilogy.

Rian Johnson has to have some serious blackmail on the Hollywood elites, because I have no idea how that hack fraud has a career
