The world was shocked when Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) was unceremoniously offed mid-way through The Last Jedi, and despite frustration from many, there was hope that more context about the villain's backstory would be filled-in during The Rise of Skywalker.

And while Snoke is more-or-less a non-entity in the movie, Palpatine's introductory scene does nevertheless offer up a few morsels about the character's origins.

Palpatine reveals that he was behind Snoke's creation all along, solidified by a few glimpses of tanks containing seemingly discarded or dormant Snoke clones.

Granted, this really just raises more questions about the character than it answers, but it's at least clear he was lab-grown by Palpatine to act as a shadow-ruler of the galaxy, while Palpatine himself would pull the strings from the shadows.
