Case for Snoke

I agree. Except Cronal of course

Though Cronal also controled minds.

This could be a tip of an iceberg of an alien race that came from Other galaxy, or simply unknown race within the galaxy which decided to expand.

The problem of course with concept of so powerfull race within Galaxy is why it was never noted before.From the map roughly only 30 % of the Galaxy has left unexplored.

 

That feeling of degradation of the body by heavy immersion with the dark side is excatly what the filmmaker has asked from famous sculptor Ivan Manzela who modeled Snoke.

 

The problem is here:

In favor of Snoke being human deformed by dark side immersion is:

1. The concept has been actually used in the film ( phisical proof, Snoke sculpture has been asked to be created in this way )

2. The First Order is alienist regime that has racist prejudices towards aliens, how would an alien took command of an alienist organisation?

3. In addition ,First Order is in unbroken continuity with the Empire military as a professional military organisation--how would a person that was not a military commander or at least Imperial official took control of a military organisation ?. We know from Aftermath that the leftovers of Empire rallied around strong Admirals.

EDIT- also Snoke knows everything what happened within Empire, Lea seems have knew him ...

Against is :

1. assumption character can not change its species, and it seems that novel talks he is not human, though it could mean also he is changed to the point of not be considered human anymore.

I deeply believe ,though this seems impossible to solve, the solution of this puzzle can bring us true Snoke.

Now we should think. Can one change a species?

 

Father of general Hux. Brendol Hux.

Ruthless general who created secret officer group within Empire.

He also designed training of strormtroopers from birth.

Tomorow is release of highly anticipated canon novel Bloodline...he is also in he book , we will see why.

Fan made vision of Hux senior.

Anyway we now Know no one (Lea, Han, Luke ) told Ben that Darth Vader was his grandfather, and he is already 23 years old. He must have been mad whe he realised.

 

Agree. Plagueis can always return in standalone movie let say, or cartoon. Or maybee he dont return but they make film in time prior to the Phantom Menace.

It is to be seen what did they done with the Force in new canon, cheaing death and that kind of stuff.

Snoke seems to have cheated death, or he is prolonging his life trough Force, or both, though as we see it is haevily implied he is also "eaten" by to much immersion with the Dark Side.

Just I hope they didn't screwed Snoke. If it is like this thread's OP it can pass, though not perfect.

At least I hope they tried to make it the best they can...not as some people fear, just as a place holder for main villain.(because they think they can sell anything to people and make money under SW logo)

I also hope there is wise explanation for comic name Snoke .

 

After old wise Muun put to grave definitely we are left with only 2 options who Snoke might be, corect me if I am wrong:

1. Former Imperial dignitary such as in OP of this thread

2. An alien of some kind who jumped on a throne of the First Order while F.O. was in unknown Regions of the Galaxy.

Considering Snoke knew what happened during the Empire, and knew obviously Vader and Palpatine as it is now it seem inevitable its 1, former Imperial Dignitary.

The only problem, as mentioned by Yordis is in the novel it is mentioned Snoke is humanoid, not human but humanoid, which means Snoke is alien of some kind.

Now its all messed up since First order is tight control militaristic regime and racists(alienist) regime with strong contempt about other species. If Disney would want First Order to have no-human members they would show this already, but as we see from TFA its only humans..except an "alien?" in the command.

Srange.

 

Your 3 is 2. , I already said option alien who jumps to the throne of First order.

but this "charming humans" is absolutely the best. ( though there is as we know pink colored species of humanoids from EU who atract humans, sexualy, and Snoke is noted to have some kind of pink skin)

He has charimsa though no doubt , as both Kylo ren and Hux fight for being noticed and approved by him.

 

So yo think its possible he culd be Zeltron?

They are very beutiful (compatibile with Snoke once, not now), they have pink skin, and in novel says he has pink face, an they were very sexually atractive, and which is the best- naive, so humans exploited their naive nature for..you know for what.

haha this is great.
