Another Day, Another Stripmining Of My Memories
Yesterday, it was Boba Fett being hacked into the Disney+ TV show The Mandalorian, albeit a great-looking trailer with an excellent cast but still fan service based on a legacy character.
Today, it’s Emperor Palpatine casting a shadow over the proceedings of the final Star Wars movie — for at least three years, anyway:

That’s a Pretty Decent Poster
It looks really reminiscent of a photo from the Vanity Fair puff piece published a couple of months ago that showed Rey and Ren fighting in the rain.
The one we shredded and laughed at.
It looked photoshopped then and it looks photoshopped now.
How Much Is The Emperor Going To Be In This?
According to the leaks we have heard, The Emperor looks to be playing a major role in The Rise Of Skywalker.
In fact, and this should be taken with a grain of sand, Palpatine’s involvement in the final film in this trilogy sounds almost compelling enough to make people forget the disaster that was The Last Jedi.
I know that is an incredibly tall order but if the rumors are true this could possibly be the coolest thing in Star Wars since Darth Vader revealed Luke’s lineage.
No one’s laughing anymore.
I won’t reveal any of it here but the reported leaks are all over YouTube.
Go ahead and spoiler yourself.
