Hey YouTube Friends, My name is Prince, and I am an Urban Acolyte.
In this video, I want to talk about Supreme Leader Snoke and all of the Snoke Identity
theories floating around the Internet.
There’s Snoke is Darth Plagueis; Snoke is Boba Fett; Snoke is Palpatine and Sly Moore’s
son; or Snoke is Mace Windu.
I’m sure next month, there will be some new ridiculous Snoke theory that will go viral
and cause fans to forget everything that is actually canon.
If I had to name one Snoke Identity fan theory that interests me the most, I would have to
say it’s the one where people thought that Snoke might be the Last Son of Mortis from
the Mortis arcs on season 3 of the Clone Wars.
Now I’m not saying that I think Snoke is the Son.
The Daughter and the Son were both immortal, but their immortality was tied to the Father.
The Father sacrificed his life so that Anakin could defeat the Son, and restore balance
on Mortis.
So the Son died in that arc, so Snoke can’t be the Son.
In the “Overlords” episode, the Father tells Anakin that “They are called Force
Wielders.
Few know of their existence, and they can manipulate the Force like no one else.”
Now because very few know of the existence of the Force Wielders, then we don’t know
if any other Force Wielders exist besides the family of “the Ones” on Mortis.
Now we know that Anakin is the Chosen of “the Prophecy of Mortis.”
In the Book of the Sith, which is not canon, Darth Plagueis wrote that the Jedi believed
the Chosen One would prevent these force gods on Mortis from tearing the galaxy apart—
and even though Plagueis writings are not canon, Anakin actually does fulfill that prophecy
during the Mortis arc on the Clone Wars, and that IS canon.
So here’s a question.
Could Anakin also be a Force Wielder who just didn’t reach his full potential?
If it’s possible that Anakin was born a Force Wielder, is it also possible that other
beings in the galaxy might also be force-wielders or have the potential to become a Force Wielder?
Now in the “Life Debt” novel, we learn of a sort of prophecy from the anchorite community
that resided on Jakku 30 years prior to the events in the Force Awakens.
In the Epilogue, Palpatine mentions that Jakku was once an important place 1,000 years ago,
and this sort of coincides with this anchorite community’s belief that Jakku was once a
paradise when the Consecrated Eremite resided on Jakku.
Palpatine excavated the site where the anchorites believed the Eremite lived, and Rey wrote
in her Survival Guide that the scavengers on Jakku believe that there is an underground
Imperial Base at that location just beyond the Carbon Ridge.
I want to turn your attention back to the Eremite.
My question is about the identity and the whereabouts of this being.
Perhaps the Eremite, somehow realized their full potential and became a Force-Wielder.
Also, I have reasons to believe that Jakku was once rich in kyber crystals, and we know
that the First Order found a large quantity of kyber crystals somewhere in the Unknown
Regions of space.
What if the Eremite performed some kind of ritual like the one Plagueis discovered on
his search to become immortal?
Maybe Palpatine was seeking kyber crystals for that ritual in addition to weaponizing
the Death Star.
What we know is that the dark side ritual Palpatine was going to attempt would give
someone the ability to reshape reality and grant them near immortality, much like what
we saw with the family of “The Ones,” on Mortis— so it appears that there may
be ways to become a Force Wielder besides being born as one.
So again, I’m not saying that Snoke is the Son from the Mortis arc.
I’m not completely sure that Snoke is the Eremite mentioned in Life Debt.
I just think it’s strange that the First Order has a large supply of kyber crystals
and the story in Aftermath and characters in The Force Awakens have all of these connections
going back to Jakku.
So I’m going to leave this question with all of you.
Do you think that someone discovered how to become a Force Wielder, and this person became
Supreme Leader Snoke?
The appearance of the Ones is supposed reflect the life force around them.
If the First Order rose from the dark side, it would account for why Snoke looks like
he’s been ravaged by the dark side—so it could be some kind of illusion.
But what do you all think?

In my next video, I’ll be reviewing the Holocrons of Fate episode of Star Wars Rebels.
I also have a fun video on changes I’d like to see in Supergirl Season 2 over on the CW,
so make sure to check back for those.
Well, that’s all I’ve got for now.
Thanks for watching.
