A New "Star Wars IX" Rumor Claims Matt Smith Is Playing Young Palpatine
- 6 years ago
In mid-October, rumors started to circulate that Emperor Palpatine will return in "Star Wars IX." While these rumors were largely unsubstantiated, a leak to "Express" hinted that Emperor Palpatine would somehow appear in some sort of projection to Kylo Ren.
What this rumor doesn't say exactly, is if this is the same Palpatine we'll remember from the original and prequel "Star Wars" trilogies. Though Ian McDiarmid is eager to reprise his role as Palpatine, a new "Star Wars" rumor suggests we might see a younger version of the Sith lord in the upcoming film.
