Somehow

The Rebels start to question whether they're accomplishing anything

Poe Dameron addressed the gathered Rebels, a grave look on his face. “Somehow... Palpatine is back.”

There was a lot of murmuring among the crowd.

“Yes, I know this is startling,” Poe said, “but...”

“Wait,” interrupted one Rebel, Steve. “The last we heard about Palpatine, he was thrown down a reactor shaft in the second Death Star and then the Death Star exploded. How is he back?”

“I already explained how he’s back,” Poe stated.

“You did?”

“Yeah, he’s back... somehow.”

“‘Somehow’ is not an explanation.”

Poe shrugged. “Well, it’s all I have. But don’t worry: This time we’ll defeat Palpatine once and for all.”

“How?”

“Well... this time,” Poe thought about it. “After we kill Palpatine, we’ll get his body and poke it with a stick a few times to make sure he really is truly dead.”

“And that will ensure he won’t somehow come back again?”

Poe shrugged again. “Killing Palpatine isn’t an exact science. Anyway, who is with me to once again defy all odds and defeat Palpatine and all his evil forces?”
