Although Palpatine ’s return toStar Warsmight seem sudden inThe salary increase of Skywalker , Abrams has admitted that he had planned for the villain ’s return key all along , sinceThe Force Awakens . In an interview withUproxx , Abrams talked about Palpatine as part of his overall program . He said :
" Well , when you look at this as nine chapter of a story , perhaps the weirder thing would be if Palpatine did n’t bring back . You just look at what he babble out about , who he is , how of import he is , what the story is — strangely , his absence solely from the third trilogy would be conspicuous . It would be very weird . That ’s not to say there was a bible and we bang what happens at every step . But when Larry Kasdan and I sour on The Force Awakens , we did n’t do it in a vacuum . We very on purpose looked at what come before . We choose to tell a story that touch upon specific things and themes and ideas that we ’ve seen before , to commence a new story . But we try out all that came before to need where does this feel like it ’s go ? "
Of thoseStar Warsfans that lovedThe Force Awakens , many felt the follow - up motion picture , The Last Jedi , didn’t primed into the overall themeof theStar Warsuniverse .

And then when Rian was impart on to do The Last Jedi , we met and we talked about thing and he write his tale . And when I read it the script , I realized this did n’t get in the way of anything Larry and I let the cat out of the bag about that I thought I ’d get to . There were some very specific things we did get to do in this movie that we were express mirth and going , ' Oh my god , we ’re finally doing that thing we blab out about five years ago . ' "
The Rise of Skywalkerstill has a lot of explain to do , not just with the return of Palpatine , but with other plot details brought up in previous pic . The death of Carrie Fisher , who portrayed princess - turn - general Leia , hassomewhat changed the celluloid ’s plot . There is also a large interrogation hanging over Rey ’s parentage and who she is . Many are also wondering if Kylo Ren will finally turn away from the Dark Side , especially after dawdler show him push alongside Rey , rather than against her . Almost everything aboutThe Rise of Skywalker’splot is a enigma , though , even if ascript for the film turned up on eBayat one stage .
One of the only thing devotee jazz for certain is thatPalpatine is back , at least in some electrical capacity . And as luck would have it , the waiting to discover out how and why is a short one . In less than a month , Star Warsfans will line up at theaters to see how the Skywalker saga terminate .
