I still think at some point he was meant to be Darth Plagueis, a revival or clone, since that was the kind of stuff he was explicitly interested in, and Snoke has a snippet of the Plagueis theme in TFA. Hell, possible that TRoS Palpatine was originally meant to be Plagueis instead, especially since the whole cloning thing is far more up his alley, but they changed it in a complete panic.

mcdiarmid himself admitted he was only brought on to tros like twelve months before release so something was going on

the other thing about palpatine in tros was the listing for matt smith. there was a persistent rumor that he would be playing a 'young palpatine.' he got listed on official cinema sites and such (including disney's own) in the lead-up to release. then his name was quietly struck. it wouldn't surprise me if the rumor was true. something that palpatine would suck energy from rey and kylo and become young and revitalised. then they brought in mcdiarmid and reshot that whole sequence.
