It is likely nothing in retrospect compared with the lead-up to The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi. But what else do we have except time before its release? TEXT: A new rumor has surfaced this morning, and it allegedly explains the presence of Emperor Palpatine in the first teaser trailer that was released during Star Wars Celebration last month. After the title was revealed, the Emperor's iconic laugh is heard. Ian McDiarmid claims he didn't record any new dialogue, or provide a few new chuckles, and that this audio came from the Lucasfilm archives. Now, perhaps we know why. Maybe Ian McDiarmid isn't even in the movie? If he is, he may have been relegated to glorified cameo. Before going any further, the rest of this story deals with the end of the movie. So this could potentially be one of the biggest SPOILERS you're likely to read. That said, don't proceed if you want to go in fresh this December when the final chapter in the Skywalker saga is released country wide. This latest rumor claims that Matt Smith's character, who does not yet have a name, is possessed by Emperor Palpatine. Rey and Kylo Ren will eventually set aside their differences, teaming up to take this ultimate evil presence down. But when Matt Smith's husk containing the soul of Sheev Palpatine is struck down, the Emperor's spirit will move onto Kylo, as Palpatine's consciousness takes over Ben Solo's body. This is where the big dramatic beat comes in. Kylo is said to kill himself in a sacrifice that will obliterate Emperor Palpatine once and for all. This also may extinguish the dark side in Ben Solo, destroying his mind and body altogether. Which ultimately means there will not be a Ben Solo Force Ghost at some point in the future, or showing up during the song at end credits. movieweb.com/the-rise-of-skywalker-spoiler-rumor-star-wars/

In Empire Strikes Back Vader tells Luke that the Emperor has foreseen that Darth and Luke will overthrow him. So why wouldn't Palpatine be ready to jump bodies/use a clone etc... when he knows what's going to happen.
Also Sheev sitting and waiting around for 30 years is kind of like Yoda, Luke and Obi-Wan doing the same thing only evil.

Meh. Could be worse. But what about Rey turning bad? That was the only promising aspect of TLJ.

Putting the Palpatine laugh in the trailer and then having Ian McDiarmid not even be in the movie would be risky, and taking risks seems like the laugh thing they want to do after TLJ. Maybe he just never laughs.

My guess is that Palpatine's presence will be something like a hologram or a flashback. It'll be important to some story point, but that's all. Nothing more substantial than that. I don't think we'll actually see HIM alive.

What makes it more confusing is that (from what I've heard) Matt Smith's name has disappeared from the cast list.
