Isn't the main rumour that the villain is not actually a Sith?
So maybe if Palpatine does show up, it's doing "a Marvel" by setting up some future instalment
He's only 69, so actually younger than Harrison Ford, so at the very least age shouldn't stop that sort of setup from happening
But I do think he's dead, I know there are tons of clones, but I just don't see any believable way that he survived
