With Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker's release right around the corner, various trailers, TV spots, and posters are getting released. Most of these teasers don't really reveal much and mostly show Rey and Kylo Ren's battle and short clips of the other characters. However, a new one was just dropped and it might contain the biggest spoiler yet.

THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

The latest teaser was shared on the Star Wars Facebook page which features a clip of Kylo Ren arriving on the frozen planet seen in the previous trailers. As he goes down in somewhat of a chamber, Palpatine's voice was heard.

"I have been every voice," the Sith Lord says. Followed by Snoke's voice, "You have ever heard." And lastly, Darth Vader's voice was heard too, ending the sentence, "Inside your head." And of course, this ominous sentence ends with Palpatine's creepy cackle.

Based off of the sentence, this suggests that the Emperor is actually Snoke, and is the one haunting Ben ever since the beginning. When Kylo was talking to Vader's helmet in The Force Awakens, the voice he was hearing back then maybe isn't his grandfather's but was the Sith Lord's. This could also confirm speculations that made the rounds before where Snoke could be an illusion of some sort and was controlled by Palpatine like his own puppet.

This was one of the clips that fans consider as a huge spoiler because of how much information was given out compared to the other ones released, especially since it got out very close to the movie's premiere. That being said, this scene being released could also be a tactic to get the fans really hyped up and to watch the film.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker premieres December 20.
