My prediction for Episode 9. From the very beginning, Darth Plagueis, Sidious, Maul, Dooku, and Anakin were just pawns in a much bigger plot. The Invasion of Naboo, the Clone Wars, the downfall of the Jedi, the Empire, the Death Star, the First Order... all of it was the doing of one evil mastermind. Even Snoke and Kylo Ren were just puppets to him. There is a Dark Side user far more powerful and cunning than even Palpatine. Everything that has transpired throughout the entire saga did so according to his design. He chose to vanish shortly after the Clone Wars, but he has spent the past fifty years lurking in the shadows and watching, biding his time. Now the galaxy is weakened, divided, and weary from decades of war, strife, and turmoil. With Luke and Snoke now gone, the galaxy will tremble in fear before the might of... Darth Meesa. It's been staring us in the face the whole time!
