The first Star Wars Episode IX trailer was full of surprises, but none more so than the return of Palpatine. Just how can Darth Sidious be back for Rise of the Skywalker when he fell to his death in Return of the Jedi? Some fans argue only Jedi can become Force ghosts, or can they? Well, there’s certainly evidence in recent Star Wars canon that Sith Lords can live on through artefacts.
Last year the official Darth Vader comic saw the yet-to-be-redeemed Anakin Skywalker given the helmet of a Sith called Lord Momin.
Interestingly, this is lent by Palpatine, before the helmet speaks to Vader.
Was the Emperor aware that Sith could live on through artefacts?
Whatever the case it’s certainly possible for Palpatine to return in a similar way.
