It would be a simple way to explain why he's basically a wasted husk of flesh. He's not really "alive"

How long do people even live in Star Wars? Has anyone died of old age?

It's not clear, but like... Cloning is a known technology. It's unusual, but it's hardly Dark Secrets Only The Sith Knew. But the use of cloning to give a half life to the dead? That IS both arcane and something only a Sith would really want.

I think the Sith secret is the mind transference, however that happened Whatever blueprint was being used for the body it seems to have been a rough go Snoke seems like a trial run, maybe. Looks incomplete.

It's weird he has a tub of Snokes that were all fucked up, though there must be a reason he needs Ben and Rey and can't just keep clone hopping, again sure wish we'd elaborated on ANY of this in the movie

Honestly if you're gonna go with Rey as a Palpatine, *go with Rey as a goddamn Palpatine* Normally I would be actually rather drawn to the idea that her parents were rebellious scions of an evil dynasty. But you can't do that here as well as you can "rebellious clone."

Well yeah the idea of Palpatine just having regular kids is such a retcon of the earlier movies it's ridiculous

Yeah I can't stand anything about Rey's parents revelation 2.0, like Palps having actual kids is dumb and them being actually heroes who bravely abandoned their daughter is REALLY fucking dumb

I don't have an issue with them being rebellious heirs, it's the bravely abandoning bit that's dumb. Maybe if they'd left her with Whomever the Fuck the old guy in the first scene was supposed to be.

Yeah the question of whether Lor San Tekka was in on it or he just happened to be living nearby guarding a completely different MacGuffin by sheer coincidence is also a nagging mystery now, along with the question of which answer would be stupider
