The return of Emperor Palpatine (more specifically a clone of him) had already happened in the comic series Dark Empire, part of the now de-canonized Star Wars Expanded Universe. Writer Timothy Zahn, one of the most prominent authors of the Expanded Universe novels, had strongly opposed the decision to bring Palpatine back, stating: "It destroys Darth Vader's sacrifice in killing the Emperor at the end of Return of the Jedi. It unravels the whole original trilogy."
