    I've had a little fun entertaining myself with this one. I realize it isn't likely, but just the idea that he pulls a palpatine is intriguing to me. Or maybe, it's unintended, and he's more of a "Jekyll and Hyde" now. He could have taken on any persona while missing. Perhaps it's the only way he could deal with the madness, I still love the idea of a crazed Luke alone in a hut levitating everything.

    Anyways, just for fun

    Maybe it's the snake that Luke choked in ESB coming back with full hologram with a vengeance. The one at 1:15.
    You know Snoke:Snake

    I was just thinking that if Luke was Snoke then it would be the biggest reveal since Vader being his father and it would be like a Wizard of OZ type thing .

    It would be mind blowing if this were the case, and I think I would love it! Yes, clearly not going to happen but what a way to bring a blockbuster twist!

    For that to happen Snoke and Kylo Ren would never face each other in person but only by Hologram....It could work. So, Luke plays both sides? The Supreme Leader is wise indeed....

    Luke had his dark side showing....Maybe he wants complete destruction or control of both sides....It all makes sense now....

    I'm not gonna lie and say this possibility hasn't crossed my mind.

    For the following reason:

    1) there's no mention of Snoke in Bloodline whatsoever (it's set approximately 4 years before TFA, so if we're to take Leia's word that Snoke had been watching Ben from early on, he'd already be in the picture. The male characters we're introduced to are too young to be Snoke)

    2) Snoke seemed to be interested in Ben because of his equal potential for both light and dark, which implies he somehow knows Vader is Ben's grandfather. It's made very clear in Bloodline that up to that point (~4 years before TFA) only Luke, Leia and Han knew the truth about the Skywalker twins' parentage.

    But deep down I doubt it. This could simply be a case of LF not wanting to reveal a deeply guarded secret to Claudia Gray

    so Luke had lines in TFA... but Mark H didn't actually get to say them? lol

    or does that mean that Andy Serkis was in fact playing Luke Skywalker? lol

    It would retcon the original ending in ROTJ where Luke was supposed to kill vader and take over but then put on Vader's mask and say, "Now I...am Vader.."

    Why would Snoke need the map to find out where Luke was then?
    Also, he's supposed to be very old.

    Well then Anakin would have brought balance to the Force with Luke being the Dark AND Light side lol.

    Luke would then have ordered the death of millions, if not billions of people, on Hosnian Prime and its moons.

    I've entertained a version of this theory from time to time.

    At the end of the day it's highly unlikely. But given the clear parallels between characters in ep7, Luke and snoke are the clear opposite analogs, so it's perfectly understandable for us to toy with cool weird ideas like this

    Nope. Just nope.

    I'm sorry, I'm just going through one of those phases where I'm temporarily over all the crack Snoke theories, and I'm just too tired to be reasoned about it.

    Hell no.

    If Snoke was Luke then why would Han and Leia in TFA refer to Snoke & Luke separately?

    I just think that it's so far-fetched... and so... not in Luke's character.

    it's a definite no from me lol.

    that doesn't mean we can't have some fun with the theory though:-

    • so Luke is Snoke, Snoke is Luke
    • General Hux is the son of Snoke... he is a skywalker and his real name is (let's grab any old EU name at this point) Jacen. (many of us did think that gleeson was gonna be a skywalker originally)
    • Rey will turn to the dark side and Join Luke(Snoke) and Kylo(Ben) to make a seemingly unbeatable force.
    • Jacen Skywalker (Hux) will get annoyed with getting no attention from his father so turns back to the light.
    • Maz (real name mara jade and mother to Jacen) trains Jacen and Finn (real name Finn Ackbar)
    • Jacen and Finn win the day.

    i got lost in there somewhere and confused with all the names... whilst the Vader reveal was great and we all like a surprise or 2, maybe it would be best if most of the characters didn't have alter egos lol
