Is Palpatine a Clone in Episode 9? - Star Wars Theory

Star Wars Episode 9 Rise of Skywalker is going to be a big one. Palpatine returns! How? I've done countless videos explaining old legends stuff and canon concepts which could prove different theories on Palpatine surviving his battle with Luke and Vader.
However, here's why he ISN'T a clone in today's video.

What do you think? Is that the REAL Palpatine in the Episode 9 trailer?
Is he actually going to fight Rey and maybe Kylo?
Will Luke and Anakin return for Episode 9?
I hope!

[StarWarsTheory]

Palpatine had actors in the comics who pretended to be him. Remember that?

[aryanbhuta]

The last time I was this early, Palpatine was still a senator.

[yourstruly]

Because his clones weren't impressive. He wasn't very proud.

[FatherMulcahy]

Even if he could clone himself would he want to, cause I feel like he's too greedy to let even a copy of himself to have full power of the galaxy.

[brnt.]

Just imagine a Senate full of Palpatine clones 😂

[farzanmunshi]

I am glad that you still have the Vader quote "we would be ohnered if you would join us" in your intro I love it.😀😁😁😀

4 MONTHS LATER
Me: did you ever hear the tragedy of palpatine is not a clone theory

[chato]

Star Wars Theory: Palpatine returns in the flesh as a clone
ALSO STAR WARS THEORY: Palpatine won't come back as a clone

[darthkhodos]

Ian Mc Diarmid is such a talented actor 😊. I can't wait to see him again

[jediknightjairinaiki]

Since after seeing TPM in '99, I've thought it would have been cool if Palpatine had cloned himself and had this clone serve the role of Chancellor Palpatine, while the true Palpatine hid in the shadows as The Sith Lord he is. Doing so would help account for the Jedi not being able to get a clear reading/feeling about the Chancellor.

[JTB_]

Who’s to say Palpatine killing Rey wouldn’t be a happy ending? 😂

[skywalker]

Sidious using Snoke as a conduit makes sense since he was obsessed with finding the new Vader.
Kylo is a cool character, just he had so much potential, his arc is Better in the comics

[Stefantius]

I love how you try to explain this in such an indepth and precise way when they themselves probably threw the entire trilogy together in five minutes lol

[hetideanghiten]

After disney confirms palpatine is a clone in ep9. Youtube recommended me this 😆

[ahsokasdad]

If he isn’t a clone, I’m concerned about how they can finish the Skywalker Saga without nullifying Anakin’s sacrifice. If Palps survived, he essentially defeated Anakin. That would kinda demean the first 6 films. Anakin needs to return in Rise.

[deplorableacker]

Legends =how it actually happened in my heart and mind.

[AndrewHahaLee]

"How did Palpatine survive?"
Starwars Fandom: Canon content / legends content
Disney on actual movie day: "Nah, we're not gonna tell you how.."

[chadwcmichael]

“...as I have foreseen it”
Vader killed a clone on Death Star II. He’s been in the shadows ever since.

[LucidVision]

In the trailer, it looked like Palpatine had some form of a machine hooked to him for life support so I think maybe he survived in Return of the Jedi but requires some form of life support but of course more advanced than Vader's.

[jackj]

You bring up great points about Kylo. Some people don't like him because he isn't as badass as Darth Vader, but Kylo being a failure is exactly why he is a great character. He's like Zuko from the Avatar: The Last Airbender in a sense. Even though he is on the dark side, you wan't to see him succeed so that he can be at peace with himself and to prove that you can achieve great things even if you don't live up to expectations at first and fail a great number of times. It ties in with what Yoda said about the greatest teacher is failure, so i'm hoping Kylo has learned enough to surprise us in ep 9.
