But I don’t see how Palpatine being back can even be a question at this point as he clearly has his body in the trailer at the 54 second mark and the 1 minute; 58 second mark.

Maybe I’m just wearing a helmet with my blast shield down, but where is his body at the 54 sec mark? I only see his throne.

Regarding the general Palpatine talk, I also think RogueLeader’s take on why there’s more, supposed, physical shots of Palpatine makes sense.

But I still don’t think there’s concrete solidification that he is returning in the flesh, for the present timeline of events that will happen in the film. Sure yes there is… what we assume to be him floating with Rey nearby, but we all know what trickery these trailers can show. We assume it’s Palpatine… but if it really was, and the trailer knows that we know… wouldn’t the trailer show his face? Instead, we’re being shown a small angle of some dark hooded figure. Must be hiding something less obvious than what we think who it is, maybe.

And who knows, maybe they did shoot more scenes with Ian. It could be flashback kind of story stuff; that Sithy throne could be from ancient times. It couldn’t be on Endor or the destroyed ruins of the Death Star II, or any other random Imperial ship. I mean, it could… but it looks less likely to be tied to any of those locations. More so, like I said, attached to a flashback/back story to Palpatine/Sith stuff, y’know?
