Star Wars: Episode IX

[sdp]

Obviously it's going to be some sith shenanigans that he transferred his body or his spirit was able to still live but unlike the ghost forces he's a real threat somehow. I mean the old EU brought him back with the clones story where he just transferred his spirit so something along those lines.

The new crappy EU has already been establishing subtly that palps was busy during the OT era finding info on ancient sith artifacts, especially those related to life. And that tv spot has palps talking in Snoke's voice basically retconning Snoke into being palps all along.

It's cheap and superhero comic like but star wars has kinda fallen in that whole, I mean darth maul also somehow survived, and at least before it was only canon in the EU but disney actually had maul in a movie so deaths being cheapened is already a part of this new star wars universe.
