The place beyond space & time — Episode IX
“Whenever one moves out of the transcendent, one comes into a field of opposites. These two pairs of opposites come forth as male and female from the two sides. What has eaten of the tree of the knowledge, not only of good and evil, but of male and female, of right and wrong, of this and that, and light and dark. Everything in the field of time is dual, past and future, dead and alive. All this, being and nonbeing, is, isn’t….The mask represents the middle, and the two represent the two opposites, and they always come in pairs. And put your mind in the middle; most of us put our minds on the side of the good against what we think of as evil. It was Heraclitus, I think, who said, “For God all things are good and right and just, but for man some things are right and others are not.” You’re in the field of time when you’re man, and one of the problems of life is to life in the realization of both terms. That is to say, I know the center and I know that good and evil are simply temporal apparitions.” – Joseph Campbel, Bill Moyers, The Power of Myth Episode 2: The Message of Myth.
I will gratefully elaborate and expand more on this in a longer post but I believe that Palpetine is in a place beyond space and time. Where it is the dwelling place of the dark and light (heaven and hell) where all the supernatural phenomena and spiritual warfare takes place. This could be the “beyond”. Rey and Kylo Ren Journey to the beyond to slay the “dragon”/The devil for once and for all. This is the Battle Of Armegeddon. This is where the battle that will save the whole galaxy will take place. The land of the supernatural directly affects the living physical world.

Don’t forget the Rumi quote that Victoria Mahoney (2nd unit director for TROS) had up on her moodboard while making the movie:
Highly suggestive, as Sherlock Holmes would say…
I do like the concept for many obvious reasons….
