Case for Snoke

It might mean that, if those music tracks were used in the same series. This is why you don't see anyone speculating that Rey will be going to Hogwarts, despite parts of her theme sounding like Potter music. But I agree that the Cronal idea has potential.

 

My point really is that sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

 

Understood, but when you juxtapose that theme with a character that looks like he's cheating death? It carries more weight.
(But this isn't the Plagueis thread...)

Which parts of the Cronal theory do you find the most compelling?

 

I'm just incredibly weary on confirmation bias, which can be a major problem in fan theories. Especially since many people were obsessed with Plagueis before we ever even heard the name "Supreme Leader Snoke" (I still remember the whole "Staff of Darth Plagueis" theory). If people want to prove Plagueis is in the sequel trilogy, they won't stop until they find every scrap of info that, to them, confirm that he is until they are either proven correct or Episode VIII and Episode IX come and go without a single mention of the wise Sith Lord.
*whispers* I'm personally leaning towards the latter.

Really, the whole thing is compelling. Many aspects of Cronal's character and biography do either fit Snoke or fill the currently existing holes beautifully.

 

But there are a lot of inaccuracies in that opening post, and some convincing points which you'd only find by reading the thread, which is why I ask. Not to mention, parts of Cronal's character which do not fit Snoke have been removed from the opening post. @McDiarmid will say that Cronal is just a template, but at what point can you still call someone a template if you take away many of their defining features? To even consider Cronal, you have to ignore his core ideology.

A great part of that opening post is dedicated to trying to convince you that Snoke used to be human--when we know that Snoke is an alien. Or do you only agree with parts of the opening post? It twist such statements as "presumed dead" to mean "came back from the dead". There are errors there, and unfortunately not everyone is going to check the sources. That said, a lot of it is good. But the theory as it is presented in the OP has problems.

 

It's the general idea, really. It's not going to be an exact 1:1, which is fine since they aren't the exact same character.

 

I think the clear references here are a bit much even though they had good intentions .

 

Well, Bloodlines comes out tomorrow. We'll probably have a better picture of things after we've all read it.

 

Oh, have you read it? Then are you aware that

Spoiler

it's supposedly implied that the Operator is Hux Senior?

I don't have my hands on it yet, but I've read some reviews.

 

You should spoiler that...

Spoiler

Wait, wait, wait. Are you now saying that Snoke is Hux Senior? And Cronal at the same time? That's... really hard for me to accept.

 

this is actually really cool.. never subscribed to the plagueis theory- but this could really explore a unique mythos we haven't ever seen in star wars, and it could make the remaining 2/3 of this sequel trilogy really interesting! can't wait to get my hands on bloodline..

 

Ok, then apparently you're not going to spoiler anything. So Hux Senior created the First Order with the help of his lady senator friend. Great--that makes a lot of sense. But you really think Hux Senior is Snoke? How???

Interesting, where does it say that?

 

No, no, I'm not trolling. I really thought that's where you were going with this, sorry for misunderstanding. But now I am confused. If B Hux is the Operator, what does this mean for your Cronal theory?
