What if Palpatine was alive all this time? No force ghost. Just alive. The Jedi couldn't detect him in the prequel trilogy then it shouldn't be hard for him to hide again manipulating the universe waiting for the right time to retake control.
What if Kylo knew that ol' Palpy was alive? What if Kylo was going to finish what his grandfather started, like he said in episode VII, but he was truly referring to ending Palpatine? Kylo would be feigning allegiance to the dark side just to get close enough to Palpatine. This could explain why he was so bad at being bad. He had too much good in him because he was trying to save the galaxy from the ultimate bad guy, Palpatine.
