Warning: the story below contains spoilers for Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
A new clip from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker further teases Palpatine’s apparent return to the franchise – by showing him conversing with none other than Kylo Ren.
All will be revealed when The Rise of Skywalker, the final chapter in the Star Wars sequel trilogy, premieres in the UK on 19 December and in the US on 20 December.
The video, unveiled on Thursday on the Star Wars Movies Facebook page, prominently features the ominous voice of the late emperor, who dies in the original film trilogy.
