In an interview with MTV NewsKathaleen Kennedy, president of Lucasfilm, disclosed this information following a discussion about Palpatine's involvement in the new trilogy, stating, "This goes back to the time when we were talking about Awakens force. now somehow in the works since. "

Kennedy went on to discuss with actor Ian McDiarmid of Dark Sidious during his appearance before the 2019 panel of Star Wars Celebration Chicago: "There was nothing more exciting than being in this room, especially to let Ian go out on stage. the reaction was going to be. "

Of course, we still do not know what role will play Palpatine in The Rise of Skywalker. In fact, in a Star Wars Show Live! In his interview with McDiarmid, the actor revealed that he had not recorded this laugh especially for the teaser or even for The Rise of Skywalker. He said: "I have to tell you that this particular laugh was not recorded specifically – old movies, or in a digital safe, or maybe George's iPhone."

In the same interview with MTV News, Kennedy revealed that Lucasfilm was developing something related to Knights of the Old Republic.

We have already discussed Palpatine's involvement in the latest film of the Skywalker saga, suggesting that J.J. Abrams was not going to bring back Palpatine and dissect a popular theory linking Snoke and Palpatine.
