According to Express.co.uk the answer is yes. And not only for ‘Star Wars: Episode VII’ but for a trilogy.
Industry insiders inform that the Dark Lord of the Sith is going to be resurrected and play a “significant role” in the new trilogy produced by Disney.
He’s an integral part of the franchise. Replacing him is virtually impossible. The plan is for him to return and play a significant role in the new films.
Is there someone who doubts the Power of Science Fiction? May the Force be with all of us…
