Except we never saw that happen
He got a cool quote in episode 3🤷♂️. I don’t want to discourage your headcanon but damn you’ve got palpatine way up high on a pedestal.
What headcanon? I just decide not to judge about events that was never saw or was even alluded to.
You want to assume he died in that explosion from when Vader threw his ass down a shaft.
A explosion that wasn’t the reactor explosion, they never really explained what that blue shockwave was.
The only Headcanon here is yours, and its full of holes.
I will say that the movie did reference that he’s likely a clone (albeit in a shitty way).
Must of been really shitty as I took it as they tried to clone a new body for him and failed multiple times.
And that Snoke is one of his Clones that didn’t die ASAP.

Out of all the things that could’ve happened, lol clones was a hilariously shitty way to end things.
It makes some weird sense that the cloning technology from the first trilogy comes back later. But the whole thing feels bad. Ruined the finality of death for the SW universe in a bad way.

Cloning was such a copout. Yes it was in the EU too and yes there it was just as dumb.

Sith “posession” would have been a better way to make it work.
if we wanted to go full dumb but crazy:
Nanomachines. The twist was upon looking at the Sith Holocron, Kylo Ren was suddenly possessed with Palaptine’s essence (which was really just his DNA at the microscopic level invading his body)
Wait…I guess I just described Midichlorians…but worse.

They straight ripped of Street Fighter canon with Vega and Seth being clones and all.

The thing that almost killed me was when Palpatine told Rey to kill him so that he could “possess” her, I woulda gone ape shit on the machine attached to him instead of killing him see what happens
Yeah there are a lot of ways they could have done Rise of Skywalker and it is disappointing in trying to please everyone they fuck it all up.
The idea that they made multiple palpatine clones is just super silly too. Why didn’t you make a million Palpatine clones and take over the galaxy then? Had it been just Snoke who went rogue and destroyed the facilities…alright, I can see that. Its plausible, doesn’t go into the absurd, leaves room enough for the force and the dark side to overwhelm technology.
But these dudes were putting Palpatine’s together like lego sets. C’mon guys.

Why is there are argument about Palpatine being a clone? It was confirmed by Lucasfilm. What ever we think of the situation, that is what they went with.

Think it was a bad decision overall though. When its all said and done, it might be lightspeed suicide bomb levels of bad.

tbh it woulda been less facepalm if TLJ Snoke was a clone of a “real” Snoke hiding somewhere. OR if they actually killed the real Snoke and a younger, more athletic Snoke is coming back for RoS
Nah that would’ve been fucking stupid. It goes into the same “lol just make a million snokes and take over the galaxy” shit that happens with Palpatine.
They didn’t really establish any type of limitations to cloning; they didn’t establish much of a hierarchy for the organization along with cloning either. They made a bunch of them and then somehow let the one without force powers escape and procreate? is he the only one that escaped? If you can clown this dude, why not clown him subservient to somebody else?
if I followed the fandom, this is probably where I check out. I’d need some assurance that characters dying means something. It can’t be that the dark side just goes “lol we made a clone” of any sith they keep a save file on. Like, if you can shit out force users in mass then nothing was stopping you from taking over the galaxy.
Feels like they had a Command and Conquer barrack but instead of soldiers it shits Jedis. Wtf?

Plus why would a clone need’s Rey’s Body?

Because Star Wars reasons.
As soon as Palpatine comes back, for better or worse, you basically just shrug everything away and forget about things making sense anymore.
Fuck, maybe he wanted to have tits?
What tits?
