The Emperor had several clones of himself [according to later books], but cloning since the Clone Wars was put to halt when the Emperor made cloning illegal and destroyed the cloning facilities
That's an EU explanation, and EU is not canon. There's a reason why Palpatine had clones made, and you'll find out that reason in Episode III. As to the question of how many clones there are in the OT, that is still up to speculation.
