Looks like Emperor Palpatine isn’t going to be making any type of appearance in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, despite his protege coming back for another round.
Are you bummed that Emperor Palpatine won’t be showing up in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story?
The next venture into that beloved space opera is coming this December with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, the first spinoff film in the story of the franchise.
Perhaps Rogue One isn’t including The Emperor because they don’t want to oversaturate the story with returning characters.
