In the following, Palpatine has been building a fleet of Star Destroyers with planet-killing technology on the secret base of the evil Sith Lords. The rebellion against the First Order’s tyrannical control of the galaxy discovers that Emperor Palpatine actually survived his fall at the end of RETURN OF THE JEDI. STAR WARS: THE RISE OF SKYWALKER is the concluding chapter in the STAR WARS trilogy by George Lucas.
