    I am an absolute fan of Darth Plagueis. I absolutely love the novel so I was quite disappointed when the novel became 'Legends'.

    I am a huge believer in Supreme Leader Snoke being Darth Plagueis. I was thinking to myself yesterday why would the Darth Plagueis book be all of sudden non-canon. Could it be because Snoke is Plagueis and they are going to re-write what exactly happned between Palpatine and Plagueis? Afterall we know Plagueis himself is canon as he is mentioned in the Tarkin novel which I believe is canon and he is obvioiusly mentioned in Revenge of the Sith.

    Snoke clearly isn't a Muun as it is stated Plagueis is in the novel so this could also be a factor?

    I just don't see why, if Plagueis isn't going to be part of this new saga, they couldn't have just left the Darth Plagueis novel as canon?

    What does everyone else think? Why do you think Darth Plagueis wasn't left as canon?

    Every book, comic, game etc. which was released before 2014 is not canon anymore. "Darth Plagueis" was released in 2012 therefore the novel isn't canon.

    I'm also a big fan of Snoke=Plagueis but that theory was debunked by Pablo Hidalgo. Maybe he is lying, we simply can't tell.

    It was an excellent book and I'm also disappointed it isn't considered canon. It gives a great perspective that makes the PT movies more enjoyable. But I don't think Snoke is Plagueis. Palpatine killed him! Let's let Snoke be Snoke and look to find out more about him in VIII.

    I feel Snoke may be a Force wielder like the "Son, Father, and Daughter" or even a former Bendu who chose the Dark Side instead of both. Not those characters specifically, but a member of that group. Or possibly a Sith before the Rule of Two was established. Though I would love it if he was Plagueis.

    Even if Snoke is not Darth Plagueis, Plagueis can still make a comeback at a latter time!

    A few years ago I would have the same thought as you do, but now I just hope they keep Plagueis dead - tho I'd love to see his story getting expanded.

    In my opinion Palpatine was always superior to Plagueis in terms of power and cunning, so Id actually rather have Snoke be Plagueis's master (since his death his death is not canon) or Vitiate, (which I don't think is likely but want to happen) The point is I want to have Snoke be former Sith Lord from the past who has a knew philosophy about the Dark Side. Id prefer that over some random Dark Jedi master.

    Because his light saber staff legacy was too big for the small handed writers to wrap their minds around his awesomeness as a self-eternal Sith Lord.

    I assumed he was still canon since he was mentioned in Episode 3 Revenge of the Sith

    Well, if Snoke does in fact equal Plagueis, you don't really think Pablo is going to spoil it do you? Of course he's going to say no. There is no way an employee of the company is going to come out on twitter and say yes.

    The only thing id question about your appriasal is the MAYBE he's lying part. If it WERE Plageuis and people were asking him about it he would have to lie as ignoring it would be seen as a tacit confirmation.

    He could say, "If Snoke is someone else, you'll find out by the end of Episode 9," rather than expressly denying it. Granted, some would take that to mean Snoke is someone else. But it wouldn't necessarily mean that. I like the Plagueis theories, too, but I don't think he and Snoke are the same person.
