A newly released gallery of stills from Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker has been revealed today, and if you've been hoping to take a closer look at the resurrected Emperor, you'll love what we have here.

The first official image of the iconic villain makes it clear that he must have been inhabiting his corpse through some nefarious means, as Palpatine looks well and truly decrepit. There are lots of other great shots here too, as we see and learn more about Admiral Gial Ackbar's son, Aftab, the eccentric Sith alchemist and metalsmith who repaired Kylo Ren's helmet, and even some of those vehicles on Pasaana.

The Rise of Skywalker continues to generate a lot of discussion (both good and bad), and it recently passed $1 billion at the worldwide box office. However, it may struggle to top Rogue One and it definitely won't be able to beat The Last Jedi. How that will change things at Lucasfilm remains to be seen, but Disney may have to go back to the drawing board.

From an oceanic moon, Jannah leads a band of warriors, ready to charge against the forces of the First Order.

To uphold the legacy of his father, Admiral Gial Ackbar's son, Aftab, now serves the Resistance as a B-wing pilot. Beyond his family's close ties to rebel efforts, Aftab's recruitment was part of a larger effort to bring more Mon Calamari aid to the cause.

The native Aki-Aki of Pasaana revere the duality of life, both tenacious and fragile, welcoming offworlders with open arms during their biennial festival season, when food and water are plentiful. But between these colorful and joyous celebrations, the Aki-Aki live an austere life, gathering food and water for the next grand event.

An eccentric Sith alchemist and metalsmith known for a steady hand, Albrekh uses an ancient Sith forge to join the fragments of Kylo Ren’s shattered helmet with a glowing red lattice of Sarrassian iron.

A snub-nosed utility transport that can haul cargo across the badlands of Pasaana, this particular blue model, operated by Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, came in handy during a Resistance mission.

An old, cobbled-together transport that can haul cargo across the badlands of Pasaana, this particular red model came in handy during a Resistance mission and was operated by Rey.

Committed to the cause of the Resistance, Finn fights alongside his closest friends in the struggle to defeat the First Order, the evil regime he once served as a stormtrooper.

The dark side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural, and Sheev Palpatine is arguably the most infamous follower of these Sith doctrines.

No one seems to die anymore in the Star Wars universe. Darth Maul has survived, Palpatine has resurrected, and now there is a rumor saying Mace Windu may appear in the Obi-Wan series (which might make sense if he is the antagonist of the series).

Apparently not.
