I know of some edits that hide Palpatine’s reveal until his first scene with Kylo Ren, even refusing to mention him in the opening crawl (Hal’s Ascendant, for example), but I just came up with an idea for any future edits that delay Palpatine’s reveal until he is first SHOWN to us…
Have Palpatine speak in the Sith language all the way until his repeat of his quote about the dark side from RotS. Of course, the “you have ever heard…” in Snoke’s voice and “inside your head…” in Vader’s voice are in regular English/Basic, and of course Kylo would respond in English/Basic and understand Palpatine speaking in the Sith language, he’s been taught in the dark side.
Thoughts?
