But, like the Force, there’s a Dark Side to the implication: Could the Emperor, last seen plummeting to his death, still be around to threaten our heroes? He certainly appears to be if the final trailer, which shows a cloaked presence sitting tall above Rey, is any indication.ĭarth Sidious, who floated through galactic politics as Sheev Palpatine, was one of the most powerful Dark Side Force users to ever exist in Star Wars. In the first trailer for the film, Palpatine’s laugh is preceded by Luke Skywalker (who is dead) in voiceover: “No one’s ever really gone.” Star Wars has positioned itself as a saga with hope as a primary motivator for our heroic characters, so it’s easy to hear the line as a glimmer of hope. Maybe you missed the tale in Revenge of the Sith because you were reeling from the bubble ballet visuals or the blue George Lucas cameo, but the scene describing the Sith Lord’s fate is worth revisiting in light of the Emperor Palpatine’s involvement in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker. Did you ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise ?
