Ian McDiarmid is reportedly set to return to the Star Wars franchise for Episode VII.
Jedi News
reports that an unnamed source told them the actor, who played
Palpatine in the first two trilogies, has signed on for a part in the
upcoming movie, though it's unclear what the role would be.
Minor speculation follows about what the role could be, so if you've
yet to see any of the Star Wars movies you should head off to avoid
spoilers. And watch them. Obviously.
Considering Palpatine is pretty much his signature role, it'd be odd
if he appeared as another character. While a cameo is possible, it's far
more likely that Palpatine could appear as a Force Ghost or in
flashbacks seeing as he died at the end of Episode VI. There's also the
possibility that he's been cloned, or it could be tied into the ability
to attain immortality using the force that he supposedly learnt from his
old Master before killing him.
Regardless, until we hear anything solid from Lucasfilm this is
nothing more than a rumour. With filming due to start next year for a
2015 release, we should hear something before too long though.
