Snoke is definitely Plagueis.

In the TFA novelization, Snoke says he's seen the rise and fall of the empire.

Kylo Ren refers to him as wise, and Darth Plagueis is known as Darth Plagueis the Wise.

And then there's this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kgirxblkje8&feature=youtu.be

Here's what's probably going to happen:

>Plagueis survived the Emperor's attempt on his life prior to the prequels, but only barely
>Either Sheev is lying, or Plagueis somehow wiped his mind as he escaped
>Plagueis leaves the populated parts of the galaxy and uses his magical life powers to slowly heal himself in seclusion
>he eventually returns decades later and finds out that his apprentice has already been defeated
>he steps into the void left by Sheev's death takes over the First Order
>manipulates Kylo Ren into killing all of Luke's apprentices
>reveals this to Kylo in 8
>also reveals that he used his magical life powers to create Anakin, since his mother said it was a virgin birth
>he has been trying to take back control of what he created by killing Luke (failed Skywalker) and training Kylo (new Skywalker apprentice with lots of raw potential)

Search your feelings, fuccbois.

>b-but he was a Muun!

Not canon. Muun look retarded in terms of making an imposing villain, so they redesigned him.

I will genuinely lose all interest in Snoke's character if it turns out he isn't Darth Plagueis because having him be Plaguies would just be so thematically perfect.

Think about it. The only real loose-end left behind by the previous films is the Skywalker lineage. It produces two of the strongest Jedi to ever live who both turn out to be incredibly importand and no one knows where the family even started. Not even Darth Sidious knows. All we learn is that Anakin was 'conceived by the Force' - and the only thing we learn about Plagueis is that 'he learned how to manipualte the Force to create life'.

And it's literally the only way the new trilogy could create a villain which could even come close to besting Darth Sidious. Just having some completely new character come out of nowhere who's "better than Palpatine just because" would be utterly lame and lazy writing. But managing to take a character who was already pre-established in the lore to be a mentor to Sidious, a powerful Sith Lord and perhaps the most talented Force-user ever and weave him back into the story would be great storytelling.

Not only that, but it'd be a really respectful nod to fans of the EU. Long-time fans would recognise this character pretty much instantly - like how fans felt good about recognising Thanos in The Avengers without it being explained who he was. People unfamiliar with his character will hear about him from fans, look him up on the Internet and it's instantly free-marketing for your franchise and your character.
>>
>>64017164
I would be content with Plagueis = Snoke, but JJ and co. have pretty much said they wouldn't touch any prequel lore in the new movies. Fucking dipshits if you ask me.
>>
who's Plagueis? some EU character or was he mentioned in the prequels?
>>
Snookey is CGI anyways. Fucking boring. Sheev was 10/10 villain.
>>
>>64017680

Palpatine talked about him in 3 with Anakin, when he's trying to turn him.

He talks about how Plagueis even had the power to prevent those he loved from dying because he had power over life itself, but tragically was killed by his apprentice (obviously it's implied heavily in the scene that Palpatine is talking about himself killing Plagueis).

Thats the best part. Plagueis is literally only mentioned in a brief conversation between Sidious and Anakin. While he would be prequel material, hes hardly relevant at all. Hes a clean slate, hes a way to retroactively improve the prequels without being hamfisted about it. Its too poetic not to do

I'm going to be disappointed if Snoke isn't Plagueis at this point, because I actually think that's not a retarded idea.

But, if he isn't, I hope he's not as giant as his hologram suggests, and he's actually Yoda sized.

Actually, that might be too retarded, nevermind.

>>64017947
Yes, in a new human host. So to make it feel more confortabile and liek hsi muun self, he got plastic sugery and other cosmetic changes to make himself thinner and taller, thats why he looks so much like a muun but with a more human face.
>>
>>64018110
He should be at least taller than a normal human the way Yoda is smaller than a normal human, that would be true poetry. 2 meters like a Muun would be enough.
They already did evil Yoda in The Clone Wars with Yodas dark side manifesting and more or less with Sheev in ROTJ, at least him spouting all those lines gave me that vibe in my last viewing.

as a faggot who hasnt seen TFA how are they playing the sith are they even sith ? sheev was the pinnacle of the sith so its makes no sense that hidden away is someone more powerful than him without him being aware or not feeling the presence if he could sense lukes emerging power

He's not Plagueis, he's Maul.

Think about it.

>>64017631
There are no loose ends left behind by the OT and the prequels and EU should never ben considered relevant to anything. They completely destroyed the story of the rest of the films. Luke Skywalker isn't superman, just a good jedi apprentice flying by the seat of his pants with some friends behind him, who is true of heart enough to start a new Jedi order.

>>64018232
Force feelings and force visions are so ill-defined, nobody can use them as legit arguments in these debates. How did Sheev cloud Yodas visions in AOTC when it would be him alone against the whole order meditating regulary? Distances also play a factor so Plagueis could just hide outside of the galaxy like the Vong.

Snoke and Kylo have no Darth names or call themselves sith, they just use the dark side of the force, Snoke sits on his chair and is all mysterious and Kylo was pretty ok.
Probably just another jab at the prequels since the term was never used in the OT but originated in comics form the 90s.

It's not Plagueis, and I feel bad for people that think it's him.

this is some FNAF tier speculation. this plagueis shit is lower than reddit: its fucking youtube comment level critical thinking.

Darth Badguy was just a name Lucas vomited out on the spot as he was writing episode 3. The character of plagueis himself was never the point of the opera scene. The point was that the dark side maaaaaybe has the ability to keep people from dying. The point of the scene was to have Sheev tempt Anakin with a power of the darkside he would find very useful.

But it's left unsaid: Is Anakin a product of a super-Sith who influenced the midichlorians to create him, or is he simply created by the midichlorians to bring forth a prophecy, or was he created by the Force through the midichlorians? It's left up to the audience to decide. How he was born ulitmately has no relationship to how he dies, because in the end, the prophecy is true: Balance comes back to the Force." - George Lucas

Well what do you know, that's entirely correct.

Nobody thinks he's a loose end that needs to be tied up. Palpatine essentially says he killed him. But based on the info that's given, it seems possible.

It was already established in RotS that Sheev lied about knowing the secret to life, and only revealed he knew fuck all after Anakin had already flipped.

He could have made up the entire story for all we know.

It's clear Plagueis was GL plan to tie the three trilogies together, even the look palp gave ankin when he said " create life itself " and the fact that was the first time GL even brought up 'midichlorians' again since the ep1 and the whole virgin birth thing

Now I was willing to let it go and say maybe that was just going to be left as unexplained garage from the prequels since Disney took over.... Till you hear the music it's clear they did not abandon that storyline at all

I think the Plagueis theory is interesting only if he also created Rey the same way he created Anakin out of the midichlorians

Otherwise it would serve very little purpose other than be a nice little nod towards the prequels.

It's not the same. It's just going to be generic darkside music. That song is called "Palpatine's Teaching" not "Plagueis Theme."

Also, Lucas had nothing to do with TFA anyway.

And wow do you explain the mountain of evidence that Plagueis is not Snoke anyway?

Snoke will turn out to be a hologram, a projection or an apprentice or host for real villain, Plagueis.

We always know that bad guys come in two within the Star Wars universe, were the introduced one is usually a pawn to an even bigger baddie later on.

Snoke was introduced rather early, so I'm already getting decoy vibes from him.

I don't know about that.

They bring up the light side and dark side of the Force which is pretty much a prequel invention, in the OT it was just the Force and the dark side of the Force, there was no "light side". The dark side was just a corruption of the Force, light side implies there's an equal duality.

TFA uses the word "Sith" but the Sith were never mentioned by name in the OT, first canon mention is in the prequels.

Kylo Ren threatens General Hux(?) that Snoke will replace his army with a clone army if they fail. A New Hope referenced the clone wars but never a clone army, that's strictly prequels.

Prequels were garbage but I have no issue with the sequel trilogy selectively referencing them for the sake of continuity. Plagueis could be one such reference.

If sheev had said he knew a guy that could do that shit, then anakin wouldn't need him. It's possible that sheev was just talking out his ass about killing him too.

ok i never understood this about the dumbass jedi in the prequels. if we are to assume they believed the sith to be wiped out and extinct, or just existing in very small #s, then wasn't the force hideously imbalanced in favor of the jedi?

and if the force was indeed hideously imbalanced in favor of the jedi, wouldn't "bringing balance to the force" mean that there'd either have to be a lot more sith or a lot less jedi, and either way the jedi get all kinds of fucked up by it?

so why the hell would the jedi want to bring balance to the force when it was hideously imbalanced in their favor? fucking idiots, i tell you.

bruh the jedi arent objective force users, they think their side is the right one.

Anakin was supposed to bring balance, but Jedi thought that meant destroying the sith.

I mean now beacuse of Legends not canon we have no fucking idea what the sith really were or are.
MAYBE ANAKIN WAS SUPPOSED TO let the dark side have some power instead of just the pacifist view of the jedi since the sith apparenltly draw from the physical and emotional passion.

but Snoke straight up says to Hux, "go find Kylo ren and bring him to me, he must finish his training", that strongly implies he is somewhere else in a physical location.

Pretty sure the main plan for the next 3 movies is set already. Even then, JJ was clearly Snoke is a new non sith not Plagueis character. Serkis already stated Snoke is a new character as well.

Hell, even in the new Disney canon they are setting up Snoke as some oute rim originator of the darkside.

The Plagueis people are just mad EU fans unable to let go and think that everything is a Disney conspiracy to hide an irrelevant character no one cares about but neckbeards.

Can someone explain this? I think it will shed light to who Snoke really is:

Where did they get Vader's mask from? Did Snoke give it to Kylo? Did Kylo find it? Vader's body was burned, but I think his mask returning means someone dug it up and gave it to Kylo who now uses it as a special relic. I don't know, I just feel Vader's mask is gonna play a huge role in this trilogy.

Luke didn't kill the Sith. At the end of the original trilogy Vader killed Palpatine and then died himself, leaving only Luke behind.

Its starting to make sense to me. Old sith lord with a massively scarred face like someone once tried to kill him.

Who else could it be except sheev's old master who had a power to cheat death?
>>
>>64017164
In the novel Darth Plagueis, he survives an assassination attempt by the Gran Protectorate in which his face is horribly maimed by a blade. That could be an explanation of Snoke's fucked face.

Also of note, Palpatine kills him by using a small bolt of force lightning to break his breathing apparatus (the blade also fucked up his throat, plus, the niggas old as shit) after he gets drunk/sleepy and lets his guard down.
>>
>>64021831
yup like i said
anakin did bring balance to the force since if this shit is right then there 2 sides and one had been dominating (the light side cuz of jedi)

Anyone else notice how snoke and kylo are talking about getting SEDUCED by the light side.
Just like the whole prequels were about dont get seduced by the dark side.

I think this is very important.

There are no answers to those question. Kylo probably got the mask himself since he has a hardon for Vader. And Disney has a hardon for Vader imagery since he's the best selling image of Star Wars.

Vader = money, so expect to see more of him in the next movies somewhow.

Snoke is the product an expirment by Palpatine. He grew too strong and escaped Palpatines grasp.

Rey was created by Palpatine specifically to be the Snoke killer. Eventually, she'll go dark side like Palpatine planned and hunt Snoke down. She'll find herself though and spare Snoke, going back to light. Snoke will self destruct his superweapon in one last attempt to kill her. She escapes and he dies.

It's because his master, Snoke would "sense" it though the force. Only way to defeat evil is go full 100% Hitler/Sheev and lure them into a false sense of security.

Han was the one pulling the lightsaber TOWARDS him, while Kylo was pulling away.

>>64022063
No, because the Dark Side is the anti-Force, this was already established in Empire like thirty years ago nigger. It is itself what imbalances it. And if we're talking prophecy specifically Mace Windu himself states destroying the Sith will bring balance to it.

It's impossible for Snoke to be Darth Plagueis.

In this timeline:

Darth Sidious was Darth Plagueis' apprentice. (Sometime before episode 1, Sidious states this in Episode 2 or 3, but we never see it.)
Darth Sidious killed Darth Plagueis in his sleep. (Sidious admits to this in Episode 3).
Darth Sidious is killed by his own apprentice. (Episode 6).
Snoke shows up as Master to Kylo Ren's (Episode 7).

In the timeline laid out for us, Plagueis has already been killed by Sidious, who himself has already been killed by Vader. Therefore Snoke cannot't be Plagueis.

No, they just use the Force in a way which is complimentary to it. The Dark Side is the use of the Force in a way which is harmful to itself, hence why it is the aberration causing the imbalance like a cancer in an organism, killing it from within.

But that's not what I said anyway, I said that the Dark Side is the cancer within the Force. Also the Force user, but the important part is the Force.

>>64024620
>the force is booze
The light side is harmony, the dark side is chaos.
Using the light side goes with the force, the dark side against it.

Even if you disagree with this, the prophecy is a Jedi one so they view balance as light side only.

But don't take my word for it, here's a quote from George Lucas.
>Which brings us up to the films 4, 5, and 6, in which Anakin's offspring redeem him and allow him to fulfill the prophecy where he brings balance to the Force by doing away with the Sith and getting rid of evil in the universe...

A stable region doesn't have equal parts war and peace, just peace. (Gross oversimplification but I think you need one.)
>>
>>64024620
>balance: a situation in which different elements are equal or in the correct proportions.

Complain to George Lucas, not me. He used it as homeostasis. As in the Sith are the cancer upon the force, and wiping it out brings back balance to the body.

>>64024680
>The whole prophecy thing was retarded anyway.
Well I agree, but George Lucas wanted to make a "saga" about Vader. So he came up with the prophecy bullshit to tie in the events of the OT to the PT.

The truth is, it's just an excuse to elevate Vader and focus the PT on him, since his toy sells really well.

Yes, a stable region. Not balanced though, well done for adding that completely irrelevant tripe.
