Palpatine's Contingency Explained: Everything You Need To Know About How Palpatine Returned

Emperor Palpatine's Return/Contingency in Star Wars: Episode 9: The Rise of Skywalker was met with a lot of mixed feelings. Some Star Wars Fans loved the fact that they got to see Ian McDiarmid play Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious yet again. Other fans were unhappy that Darth Sidious came back to life because it ruined the sacrifice of Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode 6: Return of the Jedi. Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker "killed" Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, but somehow he returned in The Rise of Skywalker.
