Chicago - The ninth film in the original "Star Wars" saga will be called "The Rise of Skywalker" and will see the return of the evil emperor Palpatine to threaten the young heroine Rey and the Resistance, Walt Disney Co revealed on Friday.
Director J.J. Abrams, speaking alongside many of the film's stars, said the movie takes place some time after the events of 2017 film "The Last Jedi." The circumstances surrounding Palpatine's return remain a mystery. The character appeared to be killed in the 1983 film "Return of the Jedi." In the trailer released Friday, the voice of Luke tells Rey that "no one's ever really gone."
