What you expect to see Palpatine's possible development in EP9?

[Slowpokeking]

I'm very against bring back dead characters. But it's understandable since Rian Johnson killed Snoke.

Palpatine was simply embodiment of evil in EP6 to act as the big bad and redeem Vader. In PT he got a lot of development to show us his disguise of a charming chancellor and the grandplan to use the Clone Wars to become the Emperor and eliminate the Jedi. It was highly praised.

I hope he gets some development in EP9 like he created Rey or Kylo to fulfill his goal instead of repeat his EP6 self again.

I'm expecting nothing. It's so obvious that they're only digging him up because they burned every plotline to the ground in TLJ and later realized, "uhh...oops. We still have 1 more movie to go and there's no more villain".

Assuming that he's actually in the movie and that this isn't another one of those red herrings that the sequel trilogy loves so much, I'm not anticipating much aside from him being in the movie for 10 minutes before dying again.

I expect him to be used as a gimmick to get Rey and possible Kylo over nothing more. I hope I'm wrong and they have bigger plans for him.

I could live with Palpatine trying to manipulate somebody bringing him back to life via his own Holocron that Kylo or somebody else discovers.

I wonder if they'll explain how his spirit survived. The prequels sort of implied that the whole Force ghost thing was something that Jedi had to learn or something. Wonder if it's somehow connected to the whole thing about Plagueis stopping death?

I'm thinking it may tie in with the Legend of Darth Plaguusis and cheating death... That and Yoda hung out with the ghost type thing of Darth Bane at his tomb in the Cone Wars cartoon (he seemed to be attach to the tomb some how don't think it was ever explained), the second Death Star could be considered Palbatine's tome and it may play out like that too.

i would assume that sith ghosts cling to the physical realm while jedi force ghosts transcend into the "in between". that is based on my observations of the depiction of the likes of exar kun or palps himself in dark empire.
ofc TLJ f*cked the guiding jedi force ghosts with lighting striking mad yoda. thx rian&kathy
