Good point! They wanted SO badly to use the plot points from the Thrawn books in RoS. I maintain there are the bones of an Actually Good Story under the layers of bad dialog and absurd technophile CG in the prequels and that shows it. They didn't need a bigger baddie.

they also seem to have zeroed in on the least rewarding parts of each thing to borrow from, like we didn't get any of the actually cool super weapons or palpatine clones from Dark Empire just the "palps corrupts leia's son" and not even the "womb force powers" part of it!

I assumed he "survived" via imperfect cloning? So they… sort of did that. Very, very, sort of.

there are Snoke clones for sure and it would certainly make more SENSE if Rey was a Palpatine clone/genetic creation or if like every hooded figure in his arena was a Palpatine clone

Oh, I meant even the one she talks to. An imperfect clone blasted by the power of his wicked soul. Hence the "Cursed Rohirrim King" look he's rocking on Rey's arrival.

Yeah Palpatine is pretty clearly a clone in this movie
