10 Best "Everything You Know Is A Lie" Moments In Star Wars
9. Palpatine Is Alive And Has Been The Voice In Kylo Ren's Head - Episode IX: The Rise Of Skywalker
Admittedly, the idea of just about any seemingly deceased Star Wars figure being truly gone forever has long-since been made a mockery out of.
But even with that being the case, the visual of Emperor Palpatine somehow managing to come back from his reactor shaft end in Return of the Jedi and ultimately becoming The Sequel Trilogy's real big bad was still a tough one to swallow for most.
Not only had the Dark Lord of the Sith made an unlikely return, though, but he'd also actually been pulling the strings from afar this entire time!
As he'd quickly reveal to a no-doubt perplexed Kylo Ren during the opening stages of The Rise of Skywalker, the voices he had heard in his head over the years were actually little more than Sidious manipulating the one-time Ben Solo through Snoke and via an impersonation of Darth Vader. What a scamp.
So, on top of shocking the entire galaxy (and much of an underwhelmed audience) with his entirely unexpected clone-assisted return, it turns out that Sidious was also the one really guiding the young Dark Side-user all along.
