"According to my source, he does come back in a way. Here is what I was told. :Palpatine comes back as a Force Ghost..like Obi Wan. (Sith Lords learned similar techniques, which in some cases allowed them to physically interact with their environment.)... Palpatine will not be a clone, not in human form. Now here is a HUGE tidbit… SPOILERS!..... Palpatine had a new apprentice before he got killed."
If this indeed true, it reaffirms the fact that Episode VII will be an original story and not an adaption of the "Dark Empire" comic series as many fans have speculated. And having Sidious return as a Force ghost wouldn't necessarily make Anakin's sacrifice to bring balance to the Force null & void. Or perhaps all of the Sith weren't destroyed in Return Of The Jedi? Nevertheless, as always, take this with a grain of salt until we get official word from Lucasfilm.
So, do you even believe this rumor? Or is there too much smoke not be a fire? Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook!
