What’s up Star Wars Fans, You’re watching Urban Acolyte TV.
My name is Prince, and this is the Holonet Underground—bringing you the latest news
in the Star Wars Universe.
Today is Tuesday May 17, 2016—and we have exactly 576 days until the debut of Star Wars
Episode VIII
The news for today is about Darth Plagueis and Supreme Leader Snoke.
This actually isn’t NEW news, but I have not seen anyone report it on YouTube, so I’m
giving you guys this story, about 9 days later.
So if you have not heard it, it has been CONFIRMED that Supreme Leader Snoke is NOT Darth Plagueis.
9 days ago, Pablo Hidalgo had an exchange with several users on Twitter.
During the exchange, Pablo said that Darth Sidious ascended to Master after killing Darth
Plagueis.
Of course this prompted the question as to whether Sidious only thought he killed Plagueis
or if he actually killed him.
Again, Pablo confirmed the death of Darth Plagueis.
So to sum things up, Darth Sidious killed his master, Darth Plagueis.
Upon the death of Plagueis, Sidious rose to the rank of Master and took on an apprentice,
or made his apprentice official—since we don’t know exactly when Maul became apprenticed
to Sidious in the new continuity and when Sidious killed Plagueis.
So after what?
3 videos where I’ve stated that I don’t believe Plagueis is Snoke, I fully expect
some people to continue to be in denial.
I fully expect some people to continue believing that Snoke is Plagueis.
As for others—well, they’ve begun to gravitate to other fan speculations—like the one where
Darth Bane essence transferred before his death and is actually Snoke.
The problem with that speculation is that it completely ignores the possibility that
Bane actually IS dead when Yoda sees the illusion in the final Clone Wars episode on Moraband.
In the “Aftermath” novel, Palpatine’s advisor, Yupe Tashu, says that Palpatine believed
the source of his power came from beyond the edges of Unknown Space.
It is likely that the First Order retreated to that area to seek out an enlightened individual
strong with the dark side of the Force.
I don’t see why it’s not possible that this person can be Snoke.
I don’t see why it’s not possible that Snoke can’t be tied to anyone from the past
in order to move the story forward.
For some of you, things need to be tied together because, for you, the story, in your head,
needs to be completed.
I don’t think that way.
I think that by having Snoke as an original character, we have the possibility of learning
more about the dark-side than what the Sith offered.
I think we have something really interesting with how the Star Wars universe is introducing
different factions of Force users and Force-based religions.
To sum up what I’m trying to say— I think that having Snoke be some figure from Unknown
Space is the biggest indication of him being an UNKNOWN figure not tied to anything or
anyone from the existing lore that precedes Episode 7.
So with that being said, what do you all think?
Are you ready to accept that Snoke is a completely new and original character?
Are you one of those people still holding on to Snoke being Plagueis despite Pablo Hidalgo
basically saying TWICE in the last 4 weeks that Snoke is not Plagueis?
Or maybe I’ve sold you on that whole Princess Leia being Snoke idea— I should probably
let you know that I don’t think Leia is Snoke at all— I just wanted to add more
information to the original video that Dash Star posted & since I have a YouTube channel,
instead of leaving comments, I just make a video.
So guys— that’s all for this episode of the Holonet Underground, keeping you updated
on the latest news and developments in the Star Wars Universe.
Anyway—let me know your thoughts on Snoke down below in the comments section.
