On Saturday, we learned that Episode 9 of the Star War series is titled, “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” with the big twist coming at the end of the short clip when we hear Emperor Palpatine’s signature laugh. As you’ll recall, it was assumed Palpatine died in “Star Wars: Return of the Jedi,” so this could be a big deal.

Now meet Twitter user Gabriel Garcia, who in 2012 predicted that Episode VII would be titled, “The Rise of Skywalker” and the plot would revolve around a resurrected Emperor Palpatine. To put this in perspective, this was years before Episode VII, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” actually premiered:
Star Wars Episode 7 The Rise of Skywalker. The Emperor lives.
