![]() Plagueis was able to manipulate midi-chlorians (I know, I know), effectively moving the Force in and out of people at will. So, reading between the thinly veiled lines, Darth Plagueis was an immensely powerful Sith who trained Palpatine to become Darth Sidious. The most direct reference to Plagueis comes in the opera scene from Revenge of the Sith. Given that, I’ll stick mostly to what still is considered canonical for this explanation. Plagueis has had a lot written about him in the Star Wars Expanded Universe novels and comics, all of which have been invalidated as non-canonical after Disney purchased Lucasfilm. I propose that Plagueis is his Sith name, and Snoke is his townie name. ![]() No more beating around the bush: Supreme Leader Snoke is Darth Plagueis. I do, however, feel pretty convinced that it’s a solid idea. ![]() After doing that, I did some searching and found that I most certainly am not alone in drawing the parallels I’ve drawn, so I don’t in any way claim that my theory is unique. While pondering, I came up independently with a theory about Snoke’s true identity, and I was able to back it up with what I feel like is some pretty compelling support. He’s played via motion capture by Andy Serkis and appears as an enormous hologram when addressing Kylo Ren and General Hux, but beyond that, we don’t know much at all about the disfigured guy called Supreme Leader Snoke. There are a lot of intriguing questions posed in The Force Awakens, and one of the central intrigues that interested me the most is the question of who the Star Wars saga’s new big bad really is. Spoilers for The Force Awakens abound from this point forward! I really don’t want to spoil anything for anybody, so this is your chance to bail before I start hypothesizing. If not, then you should skip this post for now, because it’s all about speculation surrounding one particular character, and it refers to specific lines and events from the movie. If you are like millions of others, you already have seen Star Wars: The Force Awakens in the theater, potentially multiple times.
