What is new from this rumor, however, is the idea that the Emperor’s plans far exceed what we have seen on screen. But this is nothing new to fans who have been paying attention. The remnants of his Empire would eventually be reborn as the First Order. At the Battle of Jakku, the Emperor’s plan proceeded in an attempt to destroy the planet, taking the Empire and its enemies down simultaneously. The contingency plan hinged around Palpatine’s view that an Empire that could not protect its Emperor was not worthy to continue. In the Thrawn novel by Timothy Zahn, the Emperor worked with the Chiss Grand Admiral to explore the Unknown Regions of the galaxy in effort to prepare for the future of his Empire. Both the Aftermath trilogy and the Battlefront games have established that Palpatine had a contingency plan that would be set in motion in the event of his death. Whether or not this rumor is true, it certainly would make sense in light of the larger story that has been playing out across all the Star Wars media in recent years. You can check out MSW’s report for some more potential details on Kylo Ren’s role in all this. These Star Destroyers are equipped with “planet destroying weapons like the one on the Death Star itself.” However, the Death Star II wasn’t Palpatine’s last project. The red Sith Stormtroopers which belong to Palpatine are hidden away inside a massive fleet, probably as a final act so upon his resurrection he could dominate the universe once more. Since Emperor Palpatine’s death the fleet has been dodging gravity wells and surviving in the wilderness of space in the unknown regions waiting to be found and to finish their mission. The universe is “not entirely stable.” The area is dangerous and full of peril. The Sith Stormtroopers have been hidden away in the unknown regions. We’ll take a look at those rumors as well as some new ship reveals for the Star Wars: Armada game from Fantasy Flight Games.įirst, let’s talk about the Sith Troopers and the possible new superweapons of TROS: Making Star Wars recently posted an article sharing some information surrounding the recently revealed Sith Troopers and some new ships that will come into play in the final movie of the Skywalker Saga.
