So after going back through the RoS novelization, I noticed something a bit odd...
When Kylo first traveled to Exegol, he noted the multiple Snoke clones floating in the tank(as we saw in the film):
But when Rey later traveled to Exegol to confront Palpatine, she explicitly noted that the same tank was now empty:
So the Snoke clones had been inextricably moved *somewhere* during the film. Do you think that Palpatine simply had them destroyed because he no longer had a need for Snoke, or do you think this could set up a future plot for Snoke's return?

I think it's likely he just got rid of them. Atleast that's what I hope. He probably thought about to snatch Rey's body and decided to dumped or something.
If they bring him back in other material that's just gonna be one huge slap in the face, cause they could have done that in the movie without even touching Palps returning..
I doubt it. Pretty sure all this clone stuff was just to explain all the nonsense in RoS.
Regardless, didn't Snoke need Sheev's mind to actually function? Or could be think on his own?
You think they're going to? I haven't seen RoS, but didn't she just sort of...go away at the end of the film? I know she hid away the lightsabers, so is she going to build new ones? Does she know about Ilum?
In what way do you think they'll tell the story? Comic books? Books? The NuCanon EU has been fairly restricted to "journey towards the next cash-grab" at this point, so it would be new if they actually had things happen in the EU just to expand upon a complete story from the movies.
Not that these movies have given us a good idea of what the Galaxy at large has looked like through all of this. Which is not difficult, since the OT did it without even getting us off set.
Just watch, in the future some big novel series is gonna say that Plaguies spirit was biding it's time and took over one of those clones or some BS making him the villain of said series lmfao.

Of course he was alive... We saw him alive as far back as The Rise of Kylo Ren.
And while Snoke was obviously subservient to Palpatine, he was still not a suitable vessel for Palpatine to transfer his essence into -- so he must have been an independent entity.
