Palpatine was hidden from the New Galactic Republic by a bug in The Force
Even if The last jedi promised us a new adventure for Star wars, at the end JJ Abrams decided that everything had to be like the fan fetishes and returned the Emperor Palpatine, which was hidden from everyone and now we finally explain a little why.
And we may not want it, but the last trilogy is canon, therefore it has to use what the other media in the franchise tell us, such as novels and comics, which are the ones that offer us an answer that justifies this narrative hole in the movies.
Inside the tragedy of Darth plagueis, The Wise Man, which we see referenced when Palpatine tells Anakin before his transformation to Darth vader in Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, this great sith lord was unable to see the threat his apprentice was becoming to himself.

This is also explained in the novel Darth Plagueis written by James Luceno and published in 2012. In this, his teacher lets us see that The Force is so great in him that he was not even able to measure or understand it and this extends until his return.
In addition to producing clones by which he could divide his existence, The Force feared the same power he had, making it even more difficult to identify him, which is why he was also able to infiltrate the Galactic Senate in the first trilogy.
Also, the jedi order fell after the restoration of the Republic formed by the Rebel Alliance commanded by Leia Organa, leaving the universe with fewer beings trained in the domain of the Force, which are those who could have been aware of the disturbances of the same.
With this we can justify the creative decisions of JJ Abrams, but we can also see that there is a certain cohesion between the events of the entire saga, despite the result that the last trilogy had within the fandom and within the canon.
Does that sound like a compelling reason to you? Do you think this solves the strongest unknowns of the latest star wars trilogy? Tell us in the comments, where you have unlimited power.
