Details On How Emperor Palpatine Might Return In The Rise Of Skywalker Revealed

Ever since the release of the first trailer for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, fans could not get over the mysterious return of Emperor Palpatine. The familiar laugh of the villain heard in the trailer has been the source of various rumors since then.

The return of the infamous Darth Sidious has been the talks of multiple reports and Redditors. Finding the best possible way to explain just how Palpatine could make such an intriguing return after all these years.

One particular user on Reddit named NumeralJoker shares his/her thoughts on this mysterious comeback as well. Did Palpatine actually survive the fall back in Return of the Jedi? The Redditor answers this question with speculations.

Emperor Palpatine survived by "leaping into the World between Worlds." Whether it be a clone or spirit, he somehow did this leap which resulted in him foreseeing the future. The user claims that Palpatine saw Darth Vader's death, the Death Star II explosion, Luke's Jedi, as well as the birth of Rey and Ben.

If this were true, knowing Palpatine, he won't just stand idly by. Since he saw a glimpse of the future, he decided to change this future for his benefit. He went on to re-emerging sometime after Rey was already born, and he sees to it that this will all go down according to his plans.

Fans can't help but question the emperor's return, seeing that it's hard to come up with a good story for his return to actually make sense. Although, none of these rumors have been confirmed so we advise you to take these with a grain of salt.

Emperor Palpatine's return is certainly a shocking revelation especially because fans thought that all this time, he is long gone by now. With a huge teaser such as this one, it certainly is interesting to witness how Abrams would wrap this up and make it a natural transition for the villain's return.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premieres on December 20, 2019.
