The other day I reported the rumor that Ian McDiarmid may be returning to the Star Wars universe. The question however was in what fashion? A clone? A miraculous survival after taking a header into the heart of the Death Star? An ex-Sith trying to start again as a pimp for Jabba's homeless pleasure barge bitches?
How about neither?
"Latino Review" reports from a reliable "source" that Palpatine will return as a Force Ghost ala Obi-Wan and Yoda. "LR" goes on to say that Palpatine's Force Ghost connects to a new apprentice he was training before he died.
Interesting.
I don't know how much I trust this rumor just from a logic standpoint. If Episode VII is going to be set at least thirty years in the future as most suspect, why would the Emperor's Force Ghost wait three decades to reappear and train his apprentice? It doesn't make any sense.
Maybe if he pairs up with Beetlejuice it could work....
Episode VII hits theaters summer 2015.
