It's fair to say that this was, well, inevitable (to borrow a line from a certain other cosmic despot).

Following last night's world premiere of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, photos of The Emperor - whose return was confirmed in that first trailer - have found their way online, and they're bound to get fans talking. Rumours have been swirling for a while that we'll see the iconic villain in both a decrepit and rejuvenated state and, as of right now, we don't know which ones we're seeing here!

It's certainly an interesting direction to take Palpatine in, and we'll have to wait and see how much time the movie devotes to how he survived the events of Return of the Jedi and what led to him becoming...this.

Like pretty much everything when it comes to a movie with as many expectations riding on it as this one, though, we're expecting this take on The Emperor to be a divisive one - because that too is inevitable!

This a MAJOR SPOILER for the movie, so do NOT share it on non-spoiler posts here on CBM or you risk having your account banned. To check out the image, hit the "View List" button below to see The Emperor and a gallery of previously released hi-res photos from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.

I hope he is as weird as he was in the originals and prequels, but I'm afraid not since it really wouldn't fit with the current trilogy

hazapez - 12/17/2019, 3:24 AM

@MalseMarcel - i agree with you on everything

MarvelousMarty - 12/17/2019, 3:21 AM

Seeing it 8am on Friday. Can't wait but I'm nervous.

Excellent... one step closer to watching a camrip. No ticket? No problem.

He’s looking good for a dude who fell like a 100 feet down a power reactor

All his scarring from Windu redirecting the force lightning appears to be gone

@BlackBeltJones - plastic surgery.

Further confirmation of the 'force/energy bending' leaks.

From new leaks. I have heard that Palpatine makes Kylo suck him off.

E4Nigma - 12/17/2019, 4:41 AM

Looks like Palpatine is abusing Botox...

DeathSeal - 12/17/2019, 4:43 AM

The leaks, the Emperor, the kiss, the "Skywalker" were true... (Insert Han saying "All of it" .gif)

I'm still trying to wrap my head around the movie. Screening's been up for 1,5 hours and we pretty much walked out flabbergasted.

CLTMAN29 - 12/17/2019, 5:13 AM

So why post it? Why do you even post this stuff and treat spoilers as news? I haven't even looked at the image I've just scrolled down to ask you a genuine question.
