* ComicBook/SpiderMan has so far [[HeroOnHiatus been absent]] from ''Film/SonysSpiderManUniverse'', with the only mention of him being TheStinger for ''Film/Morbius2022''.



** ''Film/ANewHope'' had two Ghosts: the Emperor and Jabba the Hutt. Jabba was originally supposed to appear in the film, but his scene was cut, and his character was reimagined as a giant, slug-like alien. His scene was restored in the [[ReCut Special Edition]] with a CGI version of Jabba inserted over the original actor and his dialogue dubbed over with Huttese. Though Emperor Palpatine briefly appeared in [[Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack the following film]], it wasn't until ''Film/ReturnOfTheJedi'' that Jabba finally appeared onscreen. A variant for Palpatine is that Darth Sidious only appears to the Trade Federation he's commanding in ''Film/ThePhantomMenace'' as a {{hologram}} -- a [[VirtualGhost Phantom]] [[AntagonistTitle Menace]].
** In one scene in ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'', Palpatine mentions Darth Plagueis the Wise, a Sith Lord of legend who discovered a way to cheat death with the Force. The implication in the film is that Plagueis wasn't an ancient Sith, but instead Palpatine's late master, and that Palpatine is framing the story as an ancient legend in order to manipulate Anakin. This was confirmed in the Expanded Universe, but the new canon has yet to address the story.
