It’s from the canon Vader comics that it’s on Exegol. One of the last lines said by Palps before this moment is “I made Snoke”. Without the vat of Snokes (which doesn’t make sense because Snoke should have been his own one-time creation), the hand is meant to explain the source of the majority of Snoke’s DNA. It also canonically helped in the creation of Palpatine’s clones, like how Grogu’s blood was wanted in The Mandalorian.
My personal head canon is that both the Skywalker blade and the hand made their way to Exegol. Perhaps one of the Emperor’s agents was spying on Vader during Cloud City and managed to get both of them. When Rey’s father escapes Exegol, he takes the Skywalker blade with him. He trades it off and it ends up in Maz’s possession. This is why the Skywalker blade calls to Rey, as her father rescued it from the Sith.
Your idea for Luke’s hand and saber is very good! 👍
