”What could you give me?" Kylo asked. Emperor Palpatine lived, after a fashion, and Kylo could feel in his very bones that this clone body sheltered the Emperor's actual spirit. It was an imperfect vessel, though, unable to contain his immense power. It couldn't last much longer.”

Virtually the entire new Trilogy is a rip-off of the Dark Empire comics storyline and some of the books.
They just changed some names; "Ben" Skywalker becomes "Ben" Solo, for example.
The worse part is when they try to pass it off as this new thing when it's something that was introduced in the Expanded Universe years ago.
The Dark Empire series made it clear that his immense power destroyed clone bodies because they werent natural or the original host body. Thus, he needed a newvessel. After further sabotage and no more clone bodies, Palps went after the newborn Anakin Solo to inhabit and was shot in the chest by Han.
In TRoS, that was going to beeither Ben or Rey. That was evident from the start. I just wish if they were homaging Dark Empire, they could have shown Palpy clones instead of Snoke clones in order to make it work. Heck. Snoke should have been a failed attempt at cloning Palps but was still used anyway

Wow, this is so dumb and so lazy.
I imagine it was gonna have something to do with clones.
