The specifics on how Emperor Sheev Palpatine returned in Star Wars Episode IX
Rey: "So, how the fuck are you back from the dead?"
Palpatine: "Somehow"
Rey: "Excuse me?"
Palpatine: "Look, I didn't write the script, okay? There are some weird ass cultists who might have revived me in the body of a clone or something, but anything like that just sounds like a stupid ass-pull from Disney, so trust me, the best explaination I can come with is 'somehow'."
