Ian McDiarmid discusses Palpatine being a clone + deleted lines
https://twitter.com/senatesidious/status/1233995580709449729Ian said that in the “original script that is no longer with us” (hmm) Kylo points out Palpatine’s a clone, and Palpatine responds:
"More than a clone… less than a man.
Sounds like another one of Jason Ward’s leaks has been confirmed. One of his leaks from around September described the scene of Kylo meeting Palpatine. According to him, Kylo asks “What are you?” to which Palpatine replies “Not a clone, not yet a man.” The phrasing in this version is different, but the point is basically the same. So this just gives more credibility to the leaks representing an earlier version of the movie.
