‘The Rise Of Skywalker‘ Co-Writer Chris Terrio On Bringing Back Palpatine And Lando
- Thread starter Bor Gullet
- Start date
Even if it's just some sort of ghost, I still think we are going to physically see him in addition to hearing lines from him. They made a big deal bringing McDiarmid out on stage when they announced the title and confirmed he is actually in the movie. There is also what seems like a pretty clear over the shoulder/behind the back shot of him on some sort of throne looking down on Rey that has been in several trailers/spots now.
This shot:
SPOILER WARNING FOR Y'ALL!
The film opens on December 20th in the US, with previews starting on the 19th!

Guys like 2 people have seriously complained about the thread title and one of them has literally said that they're gonna back down. Is there really any need for pages of angry shouting down sessions when the rules officially state that those complaining are in the wrong?
Lets get back to complaining about how dumb it is to bring back Sheev.
Because holy shit is it dumb.
And he's probably gonna be a cyborg or something just to show that Vader did some damage.
So dumb.

Did he pull a "Black Bush" and knock over the water pitcher and run out the room after saying that??!?
A ghost of Darth Bane shows up in one of the last episode of The Clone Wars Season 6 -- voiced by Mark Hamill no less. Though if could be argued it was a force vision of some sort...
Yes their spirits can possess objects and people. One dark side user called Momin (he didn't go by Darth) had his spirit inside of his mask and could possess anyone who wore it. So they can linger but they can't go around doing whatever they want like jedi ghosts.
Oh yes he's definitely in the movie. I'm just saying I don't think that this is a case of "oh the Emperor survived death and is the true villain who must be defeated in battle" sort of thing. Or maybe it is!
Dead characters return all the time in Star Wars. We've been fed nostalgia bait since the first trailers for TFA. Papy Teen coming home isn't that dumb in the broader context.
Maybe in spin offs and such but AFAIK no confirmed dead character has re-appeared in a mainline Star Wars film (as an actual physical character instead of a ghost) unless you count Solo as 'mainline.'
Here's a reality check: this is a kids movie about ninja space wizards that primarily exists to sell merchandise. When the topic at hand is an actual life or death matter feel free to claim some moral high ground. Until then, might I politely suggest you get over yourself?
No. Next thing you know people will tell me Ewoks are back or something
You think this is life or death for me? You might be reading a little bit more into this than you should be, with your ironic fingerpointing haha Thanks for the comedy though :)
Thank you for proving my point that this is an unwinnable battle when jokers like you make the stink about spoilers, try to argue the point with some "so we should stop trying" nonsense, then make some hamfisted attempt to seem above it all with laughter and smiley faces.
Where is the ignore button...
The likelihood of someone deep enough into Star Wars to care yet gets all their Star Wars news from ResetEra and somehow ignores every other YouTube, Twitter and Facebook mention of it is a stretch.
That would make sense plot-wise but in terms of the actual story they'd be trying to tell I just can't see them doing that.
Alternate universe:
Coming holiday 2019, STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE EMPEROR
Some people: "wtf Paramount? You spoiled the movie!"

modern movie trailers reveal way too much on a regular basis (something many people agree on, including directors), which makes the "it's not a spoiler because it's in the trailer" argument a weird one.
a lot of people skip trailers, especially for films where mystery is part of the appeal.
all of that being said, the fact those characters are on the poster as well means that Disney has basically made the decision for you in this particular case. you will get spoiled and there is nary a thing you can do about it unfortunately.

You're the type of person to yell at the cinema staff because they had a poster of Star Wars with Palpatine on it as you walked in to watch it.
I already admitted I was wrong and have stopped complaining about spoilers? What more do you want from me? Please do ignore me, I literally don't need you in my life.
Hahaha OK. I have already said I see that I am not in the right as per Resetera rules. I'm bailing on this thread. Y'all win.
Bvs was definitely Terrios work. He completely revamped Goyers script and the dialogue was all his. JL he was the only writer credited during principal photography and then Whedon rewrote the script for the reshoots so much of his work was removed.
BvS was totally Terrio's work. Something he and Snyder worked very closely together. JL was the same way until they threw his work out during production. During the post-production of BvS, Terrio was already extensively researching mythology to draw on the themes for JL.
No no. We must distance Terrio from his last two writing credits. We must pretend he had little to nothing to do with those shitastic films for...reasons.
Pretty much this. If he didn't come back he'd look super weak by comparison. I mean Maul got straight up cut in half in addition to falling like Pulp Team and he still came back. I am expecting Han Solo to make an appearance in this one too, maybe with an eye patch to show he did get injured by Kylo Ben.
If that's how you read Anakin's final act, then I really don't know what to tell you
