One of the biggest questions I had in Star Wars Rise of Skywalker, was why didn’t Palpatine groom his own child to be his successor? Rey Skywalker is the granddaughter of Palpatine and he spend so much effort trying to convert her to the dark side, so how did his own flesh and blood escape and more importantly why?

Besides the Death Star, there should be nothing in the galaxy as important as Palpatine’s only child. And I child like this I imagine would be groomed in Sith teachings for their entire life. And let’s say this child saw what the Empire really was and decided to escape, how powerful would this child be? Certainly, powerful enough to outrun the most powerful being in the galaxy for a long time and someone who shouldn’t be able to be stabbed to death so easily?
