I would hope that Palpatine isn't alive because it would basically render the end of the OT as two incredibly powerful force users kill the ultimate evil in the galaxy except they really didn't.
I would hope that we're not getting a sudden Palpatine is alive reveal in the last movie of the trilogy, it would also make Snoke look even more ridiculous.
I'm hoping its a flashback or a recording, I'm even hoping that its not a force ghost as the whole force ghost thing would be too ghostbusters for its own good.

Maybe it’s a rule of two thing. Perhaps Palpatine was severely crippled but survived the death star. And we learn Snoke was his dopey apprentice, and then Palpatine arranged/manipulated Ren to do his dirty work because Snoke was dangerous to a crippled Palpatine.
I could see Palpatine still pulling the strings as a very crippled, basically bodiless angry dark side pile of mush. Snoke could be one of his henchmen who went down on the deathstar with him - hence the scarring - who Palpatine basically used as his body and protection since he’s just a pile of goo.
Ren learns he’s been used by the playdough Palpatine, and seeks him out for training, which Palpatine is wary of, as he’s very vulnerable to anybody able to stomp him like gum on a sidewalk, but trains Ren in exchange for safety.
Meanwhile, Rey is also being trained up, and will learn that - yes - she is a skywalker, and she’ll convince Ren to forego great power and end the gooey-one’s existence finally.
Them’s my completely unfounded predictions.
