HOW DO YOU GUYS THINK PALPATINE SURVIVED? I THINK THAT HE DID NOT CLONE HIMSELF, BUT I THINK HE USED ESSENCE TRANSFER AND TRANSPORTED HIS SOUL TO A BODY ON EXEGOL. WHEN HE WAS THERE, HE MADE THE SITH FOLLOWERS BUILD HIM A BODY, AND INFUSE IT WITH MIDICHLORIANS. WE KNOW THEY COULD BUILD BODYS, BECAUSE THEY BUILT SNOKE, AND SNOKE WAS NOT PERFECT, BUT I THINK THAT IS WHY PALPATINE LOOKED SO BAD.
