Spoiler warning for Star Wars Episode 9
According to a leak from MakingStarWars.net, the Sith Stormtroopers have been in hiding in the unknown regions of the galaxy in a dangerous area of space, dodging gravity wells and dangerous wilderness on a particular mission.
Armed with a fleet with more firepower than the Death Stars, the Sith Stormtroopers lie in wait to enslave the galaxy upon Emperor Palpatine's resurrection.
This is where Kylo Ren becomes involved as he needs the Wayfinder Device which he obtains from a spider-like creature who acts as an oracle for him, this becoming the key to unlocking Palpatine's weapons and legacy.
However, the apparent leaks tease that Palpatine is not concerned with Kylo Ren getting his way, hinting that the two villains will not be on the same side.
Did Supreme Leader Snoke tell Ren of Palpatine's old weapons?
Could this be what forces Kylo Ren to join forces with Rey, at last?
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is released in UK cinemas on December 19, 2019.
