I think the bottomless pit in the throne room is a good idea, for Palpatine that is. Da&Dr has force fields that can slow you down as you fall. If I were the emperor and I'd want a bottomless pit in my throne room, with a force field that slows you down as a safe default, but deep enough that you can't quickly escape if you're thrown into it, and I'd have a hidden mechanism in the throne room to turn that force field off. If I want to kill someone, I push them into the pit, then turn off the force field. I can flip the switch to turn off the force field even after the combat, the pit with the force field will contain the enemy until that. I'd have an escape route in the pit that I know of but is hard to find by anyone else. That's how Palpatine fell into the pit in episode 6 and disappeared until episode 9.

That... Actually makes a lot more sense than whatever nonsense they actually went with.

And adding Palpatine still vastly improved the mess that are the Sequels.
If only because it looked like at least Ian McDiarmid had fun.
