20 Most Outlandish Star Wars: The Force Awakens Rumours

5. A New Masked Menace

There's been so much conflicting information about Star Wars: The Force Awakens, it's hard to make sense of where the villain pictured above will fit into the movie. Could he be the leader of the Inquisitors? It's impossible to say, but one very popular theory is that he's actually a resurrected version of The Emperor. The robotic hand J.J. Abrams Tweeted out some time ago is said to belong to this villain, and someone recovering The Emperor's broken body and rebuilding it with cybernetic parts does make some sense, even if it does seem rather hard to believe. Why does he have Darth Vader's charred and broken mask, and how could he have recovered it from Endor, though?
