Case for Snoke

That is my whish to.

But we must take Reality. And this thread gives you explanation why is Plagueis put aside.

Because Pablo's character was pushed trough by, let me guess......by Pablo.

 

Ironic isn't it. He was in front of our nose, but to obscure to be even considered.

His story served as a template for Snoke.

 

This are some of the elements from Cronal character that fit in what we know about Snoke and new Canon:
For what I will wrote one must be familiar with new Canon novels ("Aftermath, some elements known from upcoming "Bloodline" novel etc..) not just the Film.

1.His body is damaged to the point of not been recognizable as human --Dark side toll.
2.He knows in details what hapened during the rise and fall of Empire(he was inside Empire's ranks !)
3.He has Dark side knowledge obtained by dwelling into sorcery of Dark.
4.He formed cult: Sorcerers of Rhand (ever heard about Ren?)
5.He had students within cult of Rhand (ever heard of Ren? sory I said that)
6.He has taken command of the remnants of Empire in only plausible way, he was already an high ranking officer.
7.Lea knows him, as he had his activity in the Imperial Senat once .
9.He died prior to battle of Endor, but resurected ( event mentioned in Aftermath!!!!!)
10.In the Aftermath ,under his rank of fleet admiral (anindentified fleet admiral) orders retreat of the Empire into Unknown regions of the galaxy, from where First order strikes in episode VII.
12. In the meantime he takes propaganda actions and his links in the Senate, creates instability in New Republic ( Aftermath, excerpts from upcoming canon novel Bloodline)
11. He clears remnants of the Empire from "weak elements", mentioned for Cronal, mentioned in Aftermath, and obvious for Snoke.
12. He creates New empire (cronal), Snoke creates First Order.
13. He finds way to construct a weapon that will destroy entire star systems.
14. Kronal is always on the move ( later uses mobile medical chamber that suports his fragile body), Snoke has mobile comand.

As it seems now, at least from my point of view, entire Disney/Lucasarts machinery has been set in motion in direction of Snoke being "new character". We have documented extreme resemblance of entire story with old obscure but existant Cronal character, which is not canon just as Jacen Solo is not canon but is used as a template for Kylo Ren.

Here is also interconected criticaly important canon novel "Aftermath" which is overlooked by many and it must not be overlooked. Aftermath is designed to make foundations for new Canon- a Journey to Force Awakes project. In the Aftermath we have developments that are already describing nucleus of the Formation of the First Order by the "unindentified fleet admiral", also known in guise as "the Operator."....
That same character(unindentidfied admiral, "Operator") in this same canon book Aftermath has been told to died before Endor, considered dead by the Imperial command, and than has returned after Endor dissaster, in same Aftermath, causing shock amongst Imperial generals !!! (Imperial admirals obviously had agenda with him before, as he is radical).

Unfortunately, changing direction into Plagueis at this point seems to me is not realistic.Except if they put Plagueis returns disguised as this unindentified admiral?
Plagueis who will create and take control of tight militaristic regime (First Order) is overstretched idea now it appears. Snoke must have been already a memeber of Imperial command staf ( commander of Imperial secret service in a rank of fleet admiral, it appears) and this is most plausible explanation.

one of the most important facts:
We misinterpreted Snoke's wounds!

We thought those are wounds inflicted by outside Force (Palps...).which was argument for Plagueis.
In fact this is a damage of the body caused by Dark side sorcery, it is a toll he has taken, a price he paid in order to get his power of the Dark side.

I repeat, all of this is to much Disney and I repeat I believe it was not optimal decision by fillmaker,Plagueis will be better, bigger, mythical, ... but this is as it is.

 

Personaly I never considered "Snoke music" as a particulary significant argument. Its ambiental music depicting darkness, Snoke even if not Plagueis can be shrouded in such music. (also its similar tone but not same music).

Snoke and Light? its questionable, we Know Kylo fears Snoke will feel his pull to the Light.
Snoke could admire Kylo's complex being though, as Snoke didnt came to its power by perfect genes but by its dive into pure Darkness later in life, which came at price, consumed his body. Kylo is strong and handsome ( I think girls agree...btw are here any girls?) sice he has balanced power he got by its birth.

Operator is Empire "patriot" ,he loves Empire and hates those who made this massive machine inefficient. He just wants cold efficiency. First Order controled by Snoke is such, much more efficient than Empire.

 

But the First order though much smaller is much more efficient than the Empire, am I wrong if I say that its because Snoke wants this efficiency?

In Pablo Hidalgo TFA visual dictionary it is nicely depicted that First Order is more efficient than the Empire in almost every aspect (organisation, command, training, equipment, ships, even psychology..) Its Snoke's .

"This is how it must be. The Empire became this...ugly, inelegant machine. Crude and inefficient. We needed to be broken into pieces. We needed to get rid of those who want to see that old machine churning ineluctably forward. It's time for something better. Something new. An Empire worthy of the galaxy it will rule."

Vader sentiment again is inefficiency...
