Snoke remains mystery in The last Jedi

Getting a lot of Troll ratings. That doesn't usually happen outside of the DP or Finn threads.

Seriously not sure what is trolling about my Snoke comments.

He is the leader. Even if his plans are rushed he gave the order. At the very least part of the agenda is in the open.

I'm not seeing the Force striking back. Especially as a hidden fear. That pretty much garuntees that Snoke is DP. Which has been denied.

 

Alas, such is the risk of a rating system. Some don't know how to use it correctly.

 

Well not intended. I was disagreeing that his agenda was hidden. Its not. When Serkis spoke about the agenda it was prior to TFA back when they had not done anything so as I said some of his agenda is known.

I see no need for giving you a troll rating as I thought we were having a discussion. I think that there may be some misunderstanding.

Not sure how I can be derailing a thread by trying to discuss an issue you brought up in context of the discussion.

 

Literally 0 animosity regarding your posts about Snoke.

But apparently it is creating some.

Again not intended.

I will lurk and see if things get interesting.

 

If Snoke Remains a mystery in Ep. 8 then I suspect he's both Darth Plagueis and not him. Because he cheated death by switching bodies, he's technically someone named Snoke. But in Essence he's Plagueis who is Darth Bain.

Itbwas Darth Bain we believed learned to switched bodies, so he had been doing it since his ailments took his first body.

Lol! Yep

 

i feel like his actual agenda is a bit more far-reaching than just kill the resistance, i think he's dealing in force terms and looking to wield some type of greater power across the universe. this would sync up nicely with the sort of work plagueis was doing. reason i say this is leia's lines about using ben then discarding him or whatever it was - clearly it's something specific to the skywalker bloodline. and the watching him in the womb thing too.

again you could connect this to the plagueis story or equally something new but it will have far-reaching consequences to the universe and the force, whatever it is. something deeper than ruling the galaxy at a surface level, that's the agenda we're holding out for with mr snoke.

 

There maybe more to his agenda but he has a lot of money, political power, soldiers, ships and loyal followers if his main goal isn't political.

 

My personal (unpopular) opinion is Snoke was an acolyte/student of the Emperor and his designated successor. According to Empire's End, the Emperor had goals he wanted achieved even in the event of his death and laid at least some of the groundwork for a successor state. Someone loyal to Palpatine that knew his plans would have to lead that state.

 

Except at Empire's End, it seems all his loyal "acolyte" followers are dead. Perhaps it is one that we have not been introduced to yet.

 

I don't see enough screen time to see a supplanting of Snoke.....

I look at Snoke and see more and more the potential of a well-played and well-scripted DP. The reveal could even come from Luke...

 

I think there's quite a bit of the Empire we haven't seen yet. The Observatories and Contingency are only the tip of the ice-burg.

DP isn't "known" he invites exposition assuming viewers know his name, isn't he dead how did he survive, why did he wait, and so on its not all that different if he is known or unknown. IF he is the true BBEG.

 

My point is he still requires explanation. Regardless of awesomeness.

For the record the scene that mentions him is awesome.

 

Your devotion to the Plaguean Inquisition is strong.

Not sure if I agree he is the most powerful. Force powers vary and throughout Canon different people had different powers but he still died cause his apprentice got the jump on him.

Kylo has read people's minds and stopped blaster bolts. Those are powers we never saw before but that doesn't mean he is more powerful. His study cultivated a unique set of powers.
