Yups.. See the first link in SS News gallery chatroom

There's a rumor that Palpatine will be there in The Force Awakens..

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 But Palpatine is dead

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 Also, if you want it to be an active chatroom discussing sci-fi/fantasy news, it would probably be best if people could actually chat there.

@DrRDizzle That's what people think.. Remember, Captain America's friend was also assumed dead.

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 I guess, but I would be quite surprised if JJ really decided to bring back Darth Sidious.

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 Especially with him already creating Captain Phasma and Kylo Ren as bad guys.

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 That is crazy talk. Unless he comes back as force ghost to pass on some hateful advice or something. I don't really see sith doing that though.

@JackBNimble Force Ghost Palpatine vs Force Ghosts Anakin, Yoda and Obi-Wan. Also, Qui-Gon, why not.

@JackBNimble What if he never died? While falling down, he used force and Lightsaber to save himself and used one of the TIE fighters to escape the Death Star fully injured..

@SS-3.1415926535897932384626433 I suppose it is possible. That would be quite the shock if it ended up being true.

Haha
