    Ok, if the story group has already split the site into canon and legend then according to this:
    Vader was redeemed and turned on his master, killing himself and Palpatine in the process
    Vader killed him. He's Dead. He will not return as a physical character.

    He (Ian) may have a NDS to not reveal he's filmed scenes for Episode 7- for one reason only; its in an restored archive, an old holo net recording, or a private recording. This "return" should/will only serve to answer a question that no one was asking but is needed to guide us in the right direction for the storys sake. This can be anything from directions to a planet, person, or entity they may need to pursue/see next or it may even be an explanation of events our heroes our experiencing in episode 7 that he influences indirectly. I think i confused myself...but i think im on track here.

    hes Dead Jim...

    I said this at the time of casting... but Gleeson has always reminded me of a young Mcdiarmd. Clone. ;)

    No form, because Palps doesn't need to be, and more importantly, shouldn't be in Episode VII.

    Vision or Hologram, but I really dont want him in the saga anymore. Palpatine/Sidious is dead and gone, lets keep it that way right!!

    Force ghost or on some kind of Sith holocron.

    Characters cheating obvious death is becoming too much, like Maul and Fett and possibly Palpatine.

    I voted for Force ghost, but I'm good with a spirit possessing other people too. Him having actually survived would be going too far, and a clone would be too close to Dark Empire.

    Yeah, if he survives, I hope they don't have Daisy Ridley's character go to Mustafar to throw a ring into one of the volcanoes. Andy Serkis's character would try to stop her. :p

    Definitely a hand puppet. It would be so gritty and realistic.

    Which is Legends EU and ripe for the cannibal. Not saying i want it to happen, but if Ian McD really wasn't to play him the DE GhostClone idea could be the way they took.

    In a way yes. Sidious could have just been egging Luke on to build up the hate anger within Luke to get him to turn to the dark side or maybe he actually wanted Luke to strike him down because he knew he would be able to return as something even stronger. I understand that at this point it looks like a Sith cannot become a force ghost, but things are always open to revision. I just think if Sidious does return it should be something grander and more terrifying than just another clone of him. I'm still skeptical of his return though at this point.

    I went with back in full body/cheated death. I figure if your gonna go this way, go all in.

    Don't get me wrong, I think Palpatine returning is a horrible idea, and I don't buy the rumor at this point.

    Watch there be a flashback to Sidious being thrown over the balcony and a different angle shows him somehow maneuvering into a shaft that leads him to safety and the explosion we see was his lightsaber hitting the reactor.

    I don't know about it being a horrible idea, depending on the presentation. But i do think that this rumor was bound to pop up, it just lends itself to a new SW movie. I don't really buy it either, and i'll have to see something more compelling that some rumor a ten year old could have come up with before i give it any real credibility.

    It could work, and there are thematic reasons to include Palpatine as the primary villain of the three trilogies, but I'll believe it when i see it. Everything would depend upon how it was presented, something which none of us could possibly know looking at it from afar even if it was god's honest truth.


    Something like that would irritate me. I dislike retcons, being a comic book fan and having been exposed to them over and over. They need to just live with what was done. Bring him back as a brain in a jar or demonic spirit or something, not as a spry 120 year old Ian McDairmid who just happens to be invulnerable. Especially when it's already established that the dead can interact with the living in the saga, or that cybernetics are a valid medical treatment.

    the dark empire comic was cool. but i looked at it more as a fun read when we were in the "dark times" when star wars was pretty much dead. i never really wanted the emperor to come back. its lessens the whole importance of vader's redemption in rotj.
    if he is in ep. 7 i hope its just as a hologram from some recording he made. thats it. no clones. no reincarnations.

    I hated the clone idea when DE did it, and I'd hate it if the ST did it ... is what I was meaning to say.
