This strand-cast/cloning storyline shares several plot points with the classic Dark Empire comic series, where Palpatine bided his time until he could come back in a younger, stronger clone body and re-create the Empire. The Sith lord next turned his attention to Rey in The Rise of Skywalker. But since the process that created strand-casts could not reliably replicate Force-sensitivity, Palpatine’s “son” was not Force sensitive. There were other candidates, like the strand-cast who became Rey’s father. Snoke was likely born from these experiments but was too imperfect a vessel to house Palpatine’s spirit.

It was one of several ways he was working behind the scenes all along to build the First Order - itself just a shell for the new Empire being built on Exegol. Palpatine’s ultimate plan was to use Snoke as his voice to whisper in Kylo Ren’s ear. In The Mandalorian, Kuill speculates that Grogu might be a strand-cast - a speculation which turned out to be wrong when Ahsoka revealed Grogu grew up in the Jedi Temple.
