Good speculation, I want to add

Spoiler!

I think Palpatine is somehow alive and survived the Death Star explosion, he's very much talking in the present tense, with his bringing them together will be their undoing.


I'm still thinking that Rey is either a clone of Anakin, or Palpatine, or she's a descendant of Palpatine.



I still remember in TFA when you watch the fight between Rey and Kylo she had elements of both Anakin's style and Palpatine's style from the fight with Mace and that she was drawing on the Dark side.


I believe that there will be a similar scene to ROTJ where Rey is tempted to witness the end of the insignificant Resistance and using the Dark Side is the only way to save her friends.


Ok now here's the real speculation. I believe that Palpatine's forces are going to wipe out the First Order fairly early in the movie. A three way war just doesn't work and becomes too complex, whether that leaves Kylo dead or somehow we get a turn with him back to Ben Solo is up for a guess.


If Rey is a clone, where did she come from?



If she's a descendent of Palpatine were her parents really nothing?


I keep going back to her in the cave in TFA with the 100's of Rey, that has to mean something right?


BTW that throne design of Palpatines has been around forever RM drew it up early on.
