Guest El Chalupacabra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Well, Snoke is probably at least as old as Luke, but he may not necessarily be ancient. I think his appearance could just as easily be scars. The First Order has pretty young leaders at the top: Ren, Hux, Phasma are all 30 somethings. Snoke could be in his 50s or 60s. Plus, he is an alien, so who knows how he ages? Also being a Not-Sith, he could have been part of a dark side order (assuming the order he is from isn't the Knights of Ren) that was in hiding during Palpatine's reign, so if Snoke is very old to ancient, that could be explanation enough.

Metropolis Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It's a temple. People get buried there. He's standing directly in front of what appears to be a tombstone facing a scenic outlook over the ocean. Why can't someone be buried there?The last shot of the movie is a sweeping aerial view. It shows how close that rock is to the cliff, and that there is a slight overhang. Other than that spot having to be solid rock, there might be room to bury your hamster.

ShadowDog Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 OB1 aged 40 years between ROTS and ANH. Snoke could be 30 by Star Wars standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Old Jedi order dropout? Couldn't hack Padawan training? Or one of the Lost 12?Good point. Snoke could just as easily be a hold over from the old republic Jedi Order, who left the order. As good an explanation as any. The only thing that might make it unlikely is that this development would tie the ST to the PT, and I think Kasdan and JJ Abrams don't want to do that.

Exodus Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 It wouldn't hurt if he is the one and only tie. But then again you have the voice of Ewan as Obi-Wan, and that is one hell of a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest El Chalupacabra Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Oh, it wouldn't bother me a bit if Snoke was a former old republic jedi, gone darkside. I am just saying that it seems to me that Abrams has tried to tie the ST to the OT, and distance it from the PT. The Obi Wan voice tie in is a big one for sure, and so is the "Snoke is considering a clone army" line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destiny Skywalker Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 If he was a former Old Republic Jedi gone dark/rogue, that would explain why he's not Sith. He's just a Jedi gone bad, sort of like Dooku, until Sidious trained him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pavonis Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Is there only one way to be bad in the galaxy far, far away? Are Sith the only evil ones there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Since they immediately knew Maul was a Sith, it kinda seems that way. At least for Force users. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Palpatine Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I think Snoke simply wants all the Jedi gone, and is using Ren to do that, his last mission being finding and killing Luke. Once that happens Snoke will destroy Ren, leaving him as the last force user in the galaxy. I think there are hints that Snoke is not what he appears. Leia and Han hinted that there is more there. Leia said he wanted Ben to train with Luke, but does that mean he didn't? Did he train with Snoke instead? Was Snoke the "kid" who betrayed Luke or was it Ren? That was all left wide open and I don't think that was accident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest madddox Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 slightly off topic but the name "snoke" still doesnt sound right. it feels so comical, not at all menacing, but maybe thats what they were going for? hearing leia say "snoke" just makes me laugh, it doesn't in the least bit menacing or sinister or evil.
