Could This Be The New Villain For Episode VIII?

By: Justin Marsh

The new Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser raised a lot of questions that will leave fans speculating for months. This one is probably the most intriguing one: Who is the small dark figure standing on a distant stage behind rows of stormtroopers?

One theory is that Palpatine survived to lead the Empire once again; another speculates that the dark figure is the evil emperor's secret apprentice. Some fans say that it might be the return of Darth Vader, but this is probably the least likely as we've seen Anakin's force ghost appear at the end of Return of the Jedi.


Whoever he is, he will probably play an important role in the upcoming Star Wars trilogy. So who do you think is the dark figure shown in the Star Wars: The Force Awakens teaser?
