Alien invasion,is this the shocking truth?

The remnats of the Emperial forces ( First Order to become ) escaped in to Unknown Regions jumping from Jakku.
Now that did not supposed to happen this way.

Palpatine had those plans:

1. If Galaxy rejects his rule , he will escape with the elite into Unknown Regions and there rebuild his"perfect" Empire. A superstar destroyer was already sent and parked and waiting for him in the Unknown Regions.

2. If he dies,his empire goes down with him and last remnants are to be destroyed by settiing Jakku to explode with all of them.

----in our story we have third unexepected secanario.

3. Palpatine died. Gallius Rax faild to execute his order (in case he dies) of blowing up Jakku and gathered forces there, and many of those Imperials jumped into Unknown Regions.
They were never supposed to go out there without powerful Palpatine.
In a way they came leaderless into Unknown Regions.

Palpatine knew something "powerfull and dark" was waiting there. This entity(Snoke obviously) manipulated and hijacked leaderless Imperials out there.

 

Snoke is, according to this artist reconstruction that has been made upon available data, dressed like some emperor from Ming dynasty.

....Or ,dare I say, " Vong "dynasty?

 

In this recent artistic depiction of Snoke, according to latest available data, the artist realjburns made astonishing reconstruction of what to expect of Snoke's real look.
Snoke doesn't look like some being that has been hiding, waiting for ages in the unknown Regions contemplating about Dark Side, waiting to be found, living ascetic humble lonely life.
He wears golden-silk robe, he has big dark ring(probably Kyber) .
He looks like aristrocrat, he obviously likes and expects luxury, like a king or even emperor, in fact like Supreme Overlord, monarch, head of the state.






*please do note I am updating OP with this new material.

 

You Know what I think?
If this is true it will be the tuch of genius.
And know why?
Because Vong invasion almost destroyed Star Wars, it was, in fact hated by many of fans, galaxy left in ruins.
Only a bold masterminds could make this come back, in the same time bring controversial story on agenda, using this to delete Vong race from memory by introducing another more "realistic" extragalactic race, and redeem it as a perfect story.

 

In case Snoke is just from Unknown Regions there are few important problems.

As we know unknown galaxy is just about 30-35% of the entire galaxy. And even good part of this this Unknown space is less hospitable for living, it has lower "quality" of habitability . Few species do live and lived there, but it is not just a wild west that was left uncharted, it is for a good part a Mordor of some kind, inhospitable on many places (unlike "left side" of the galaxy).

Palpatine talks about:"labyrinth of solar storms, rogue magnetospheres, black holes, gravity wells, and things far stranger".

Than, even if Snoke was from Unknown regions forever:

What was such powerfull being doing there for millenia without his influence been detected?

He is so powerfull, why was he hiding?

He is so ambitious, again, why was he hiding?

He can influence Ben while fetus in the womb of Lea from this same Unknown regions,...wow.. why was he inactive before, hiding?

If he is so abitious and powerfull, and he is, even if he was hiding from the known galaxy how can he be alone there in Unknown regions, without creating his own empire there, and in such case how could this empire stay not detected, without contact with galacatic civilization? It will be agressive empire, seeking the ways to expand.

If he was in some kind of hybernation, burried,in stazis, again how does he know everything about the Republic, and Empire?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

By logic reduction I conclude (unles Story group has made another incredible story, or incredible mistake) Snoke is a leader of ancient civlilization that came from another galaxy.
He simply was not present in this Galaxy before let say 50 or max 100 years ago.
This race is weakened, weaker in umbers and resources than galactic civilization combined, and its scouting shown it was not strong enough to defeat the Empire, but was probing, scouting the galaxy for decades, and is methodically advancing. They waited, colecting data. After the defeat of the Empire, they found the moment has come.
More so, a remnants of the Empire, shaken, and leaderless, came in their hands, and they needed a strong leader, a wise substitute for their Dead Emperor.
They got one.

Snoke is powerfull Dark sider, anlike anything we ever sough,from the old republic to the Sith, he is using the Force in way it has been developed separately in entire different galaxy, that is now destroyed.

Palpatine did suspected something, he felt Snoke is calling him, but from Thrawn we also know Palpatine was informed about possible threat, so he was caucious.

I do not rule possibility, considering distances and relativity of time and space, that galaxy encountered this aliens millenia ago, and this was maybe written in anceint books (like those Luke is searching for).

 

Could be, still , than Story group used in my opinion Unknown space as a "shelf for everything", while I think Snoke is to powerfull and to old , and to agressive to be undetected there despite "maze" that separated Known Regions from UR..Afteral he himself influences Ben as a baby from the other corner of the galaxy...?!

Thrawn race lives in the "left Lower" corner of the galaxy that is not so roughly separated but was simply to distant, jet they became known to main galactic civilization , despite been relatively small and in fact reserved race.

How about agressive race that threathened them?

And Thrawn reports his race has been treathened . He literally asks Palpatine for help and mutual cooperation agains that threat.

Thus I see those main problems with story that Snoke is from Unknown Regions:

1. Space problem- not that massive space, and even something was known about it already, for this powerful being , and civilization , to be left undetected for millenia.

2. Inactivity problem: Why was Snoke's race inactive jet so powerfull, and obviously so ambitious, agressive, he wants entire galaxy, why now, and he is ancient?

3. Insight problem: If inactive before, even "hybernated", and awaken, why does Snoke knows everything that happened in the last 50 maybe 100 years.?

My conclusion-- he (and his scouts) was physically not in the galaxy until relatively recently.

 

Snoke is so indiferent about First Order losses.They have lost Starkiller base and he seems to have calculated such loss in his strategy.What could be, I am asking myself, the resources left on his disposal to continue offensive on New Republic and Resistance?Even if First Order still has the Starfleet the size of that one which invaded Hoth in Empire Strikes Back,which is overstretch of imagination already considering resources available to First Order which btw.focused on massive now destroyed starkiller base ,even this is not enough to conquer Galaxy.I believe Snoke must have additional army waiting to strike.

 

The Yuuzhan Vong War is the centerpiece conflict of The New Jedi Order, a multi-author book series published by between 1999 and 2003. The war appears in the nineteen (19)novels, three e-Book novellas, and three short stories that make up the series.

It is well elaborated massive reading material of Expandend universe (Now Legends), and it happens in 3rd decade after the fall of the Empire during the New Republic and Luke's rise of the new Jedi Order.

They came from the other galaxy after that galaxy became almost inhabitable ( elaborated why, in short Vongs overdid it in their galaxy to), it happened millenia ago.

After probing, scounting during the Empire,they strike weakend New Republic with devastating consequences.

They were inteligent, physically strong, and had techology that manipulated with life. Their ships were living things, able to repare themselves like living body, for instance.They xenomorphed planets, changing them to suite themselves.

Their leader was powerfull, Force user, Supreme Overlord.

Using advanced biotechnology in every field of life, the Yuuzhan Vong were masters of adaptation and subterfuge, as well as brute force and terror tactics .

Their xenomorphing destroyed all life on the planets in the galaxy they invaded since they were life from other Galaxy,

-the Problem:

The story, while been immense in its scope and power, in fact by opinion of some fans destroyed Star Wars galaxy, literally.
By opinion of some fans Vong race was made to powerfull-it was not well balanced .
They call themselves Chosen Race and believe the will of the Force is they must rule all others and kill almost everyone, and populate Universe themselves.

In one moment, Chosen race defeats New Republic and Imperial remnants, penetrates in the Core Planets, including Coruscant.
They xenomorph Core planets, including Coruscant which was genocyde. Only after inner civil war within Vongs and change of tactics of the remaining Galactic people (fighting for survival) and with the help of Luke and remaining New Jedi , Vong was defeated.

Vong wars left galaxy with around.- 360 trillion dead sentient beings.

Many fans (including me )believe it was to much as the Galaxy was nearly wiped out , Vong race was not balanced, made to powerfull, and scope of genocyde over thegalaxy have left stone in the stomach of many despite final victory.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

However ( my opinion), if made more balanced, Snoke's race could be extragalactic invader that are not that strong and not that much Superior and strange in technology numbers and tactics, and this, in my opinion will be great story.
In the same time it will push Vong story into oblivion and redeem effort of people who made the original story.

 

I hope this will happen, if for no other reason then for possible logical conflicts to be resolved.
For me ,personally , attack of the First Order starfleet the size of older Imperial fleets, however "stylish" , will be hard to comprehend and rise questions where did Imperial remnants got resources ,and manpower, for this.
They already lost gargantuan project of Starkiller base which they built, and which will be burdeon even for the budget of the old Empire, and plus on this building massive strfleet, and division of stromtroopers.....where did came from, they don't have more than few million population on disposal, entire First Order. So I hope Story group have thought about logistical logic behind the First Order power, afteral he were abselnt for just onme generation, they could have not multily their numbers.

 

Maybe Snoke is not leader of some extragalactic race as I think, however there could be another similar possibility:

Since Snoke is ancient and powerfull , and charismatic, (as we can see he put into submission Imperial remnants), he has put also into submission some exotic alien races in the unknown regions over the time, and he will strike with that "hordes" of this "vassals" as a second vawe, after the New Republic, Resistance and the First order exhaust themself enough.

I will be very surprised, and dissapointed if the First Order is the only military force on disposal to Snoke. He was so cool and unimpressed by the fact Stakiller base was collapsing, which was major blow to his First Order. How about "Second Order" or more precisely second vawe?
