That he had a lot of stature and had a foreboding feeling in his presence.

Absolutely, Headland says.

I wanted to introduce him as the complication for season two.

Daisy Ridley

We know of course that the apprentice who killed Plagueis was Palpatine himself.

This cameo was inevitable.

He was always the endpoint [of the season].

If youre going to introduce Plagueis, you have to introduce a worthy adversary.

Its kind of that simple.

How does he know that?

It certainly sounds like a possibility.
