WARNING POTENTIAL SPOILERS AHEAD. Just what does The Rise of Skywalker mean exactly? Well, a new fan theory made off the back of a Making Star Wars leak may reveal the truth. The latter claims that the final battle of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker takes place on a dead world called Exogol where Palpatine will face both Rey and Kylo Ren.
Allegedly, Palpatine throws Kylo Ren into the abyss, but could he be resurrected?
Reddit user JSpring2017 argues: “The name is intriguing to me.
“Golgotha was the place traditionally that Jesus was crucified, sacrificed, if you will.
“Literally, The Place of the Skull.
“Could it be that Exogol is the place that Kylo is sacrificed and, beyond that, rises again?”
If Kylo Ren dies on the Dark Side, but rises a Skywalker, that could certainly explain Episode IX’s title.

They added: “I’d imagine Palpatine knows how to do this and it’s one of the things he does for Kylo to help persuade him to his plan.
“While I think this makes the most sense to me plot-wise, I’m hoping there’s still more to discover about Snoke, most likely through Palpatine.”
Meanwhile, another leak alleges what Palpatine’s evil plan for Rey and Kylo Ren is.
According to Making Star Wars, Palpatine features early on in The Rise of Skywalker. Apparently he tells Kylo Ren he wants him and Rey to be the Emperor and Empress of his new evil Empire.
Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker will be released in UK cinemas on December 19, 2019.
