I wouldn’t do it at all. But if I had to, it could be cool to have very cryptic, creepy 2-second shots of him sensing things through the Force. No explanation of who he is. Like maybe he feels some kind of ripple and his eyes open when Luke meets Obi Wan or tells him he wants to be a Jedi, he smiles when Alderaan gets blown up, and he looks irate when the death star is destroyed.
I was thinking where you could add the Emperor, and I think I figured it out.
The scene is when Luke returns to Obi-wan Kenobi after seeing Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru’s dead bodies. He says, “There’s nothing for me here now, I want to learn the ways of the Force and become a Jedi, like my father.”
There’s a scene wipe shortly after that, it should cut to the Emperor meditating and he opens his eyes and says, “Good…good, fulfill your destiny.” (laughs)
