With J.J. Abrams back directing, the ninth installment of the main franchise was shrouded in secrecy until thereturn of The Emperor. There's been several theories that surfaced in the weeks that have followed, wondering what The Rise of Skywalker could contain.
In Screen Rant's newest video, we take a look at ten theories about Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker that are most likely to come true. Many of them focus on the story of the larger franchise. Additionally, there's some about Luke Skywalker's role, how Darth Plagueis could be involved, and what the title could mean about the future of the series. Check out all of the theories in the video at the top of this post.
Some of the earliest theories about The Rise of Skywalker like it's a mantle that will be ed down to Rey in the film. But, there's also fans that think Palpatine could be the Skywalker rising that the title refers to, as he's basically been confirmed to be the father of Anakin, making him a Skywalker in a sense.
As fun as all these theories can be, it's important to that these are born of speculation and shouldn't be expected to actually happen in the film. If they do, then it'll be a great moment for those who these theories, but no one should be upset if they don't. The most important thing is that Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker is good, not whether or not any theories came true, even if these ideas do sound great.
