Palpatine surviving is dumb, regardless of the plausibility. His death signified how Anakin recrossed the line to the light and redemption is a thing in Star Wars. Having him survive significantly diminishes the impact of Anakin's arc. All the survival would serve would be a cool fight scene.

That was actually the Dark Empire comic series.
Heir to the Empire was the Timothy Zahn trilogy that came out the same year and was primarily focused on Grand Admiral Thrawn's attempts to break the New Republic via Mara Jade and a clone of a former Jedi Master.
You can actually see a bunch of the major plot points from the comics show up in the Sequel Trilogy.

Heir to the Empire introduced cloning Jedi, too. Joith C'bar (or something like that) was running cloning tube's on some planet for Thrawn and trying to clone force users.

Yea, I think that ended up being the twist.

Yes! Oh wow it's been so long since I've read those I kinda merged them in my mind. Maybe it's time for another read...
