<br />
Everybody's talking about who Supreme Leader Snoke is in the sequel trilogy of Star Wars. Some suggest he is Palpatine's old master back from the dead as cheating death was, after all, discussed with Anakin. Others say he could be a completely new character.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqkmVs7iFenh3L7X1z57cWzc63tDRS9WJAom19-0_VVcHRmH_FKRfO4buRRVvD38Q_TD9UVn2gNwb6sGgm_-oFenBKrAHAOpO-sah3h8Qns4dGGB_sCk8IsycLubXLloh6hKqSKWUPTQ/s1600/abcd.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzqkmVs7iFenh3L7X1z57cWzc63tDRS9WJAom19-0_VVcHRmH_FKRfO4buRRVvD38Q_TD9UVn2gNwb6sGgm_-oFenBKrAHAOpO-sah3h8Qns4dGGB_sCk8IsycLubXLloh6hKqSKWUPTQ/s320/abcd.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
What if he is something much more fundamental than this? He did say he had seen the rise and fall of the Empire.<br />
Yoda, Anakin and Obi-wan were all force ghosts at the end of Return of the Jedi; maybe he's a dark force equivalent?<br />
But what if the dark side ghosts don't play nicely together? What if they all combine into something much more sinister? A single evil. Perhaps Snoke is the mixture of all the dead dark force users?<br />
His power increases every time a bad user dies. He'd have been happy to see Vader kill the Emperor and Count Dooku. He'd have encouraged Palpatine to kill Darth Plagueis and push for the rule of two.<br />
This would also make him want Kylo Ren to become very dark, by killing his father, Han Solo.<br />
The plan in Episode VIII might be to have Kylo face his previous master, Luke Skywalker. Luke kills him, Snoke absorbs the life force, then Rey gets upset by this and is turned to the dark side too. Luke and Finn may then turn her back.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGaF_I7yNKpyIFKg2fqSoFtrwHRCMUzNOSWrv1rjGgj8ee7ZaFbHVeheDgS72n6RDhl21e3IYxRZqSj9kYJG4QNU0hzlW8u_S1HG29hF2Awxp1MbgEPekziSps2zNzvoahpkPw_CiDE4/s1600/EFGH.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTGaF_I7yNKpyIFKg2fqSoFtrwHRCMUzNOSWrv1rjGgj8ee7ZaFbHVeheDgS72n6RDhl21e3IYxRZqSj9kYJG4QNU0hzlW8u_S1HG29hF2Awxp1MbgEPekziSps2zNzvoahpkPw_CiDE4/s320/EFGH.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Perhaps Luke sacrifices himself to join the light side ghosts to bring balance back to the force? Would make sense of what Ben Kenobi did in Episode IV.<br />
Another reason Snoke might be an amalgamation of evil might be his sheer size and disfigurement. All injuries the many dead have had are seen, he does have a similar scar to Vader/Anakin.<br />
Being a ghost would also have given Snoke the chance to seduce Ben Solo. Luke would never have allowed an actual meeting. He could have visited Ben in visions.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts? Just a fan theory for fun! Can't wait for December to see what happens next!<br />

<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "merriweather" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;">Sylvia Massara is a multi-genre author based in Sydney, Australia. She loves to dabble in wacky love affairs, drama, murder, sci-fi (or anything else that takes her fancy) over good coffee.<br /><br />Born in Argentina from Italian and Spanish descent (with a bit of Swiss thrown in) and transplanted to Australia at age 10, Sylvia describes herself as a bit of a "moggie" cat by way of mixed pedigree. She is also a citizen of the world as she has travelled widely throughout most of her life and she's the proud owner of three passports.<br /><br />From a creative perspective, Sylvia has been writing since her early teens and her work consists of novels, screenplays and freelance writing. She has also dabbled in acting on and off, songwriting and even had her own band during her teens/early 20s where she performed at various venues.</span></div>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; font-family: "merriweather" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><br />As with most authors, Sylvia draws on her varied experience from the often puzzling tapestry of life. A few years ago Sylvia resigned from the human race because she discovered the animal kingdom was a much nicer place to be.<br /><br />Currently, Sylvia lives with her cat, Mia; and always vicariously through the many characters in her head. Occasionally, Sylvia ventures into the world of humans, and she cherishes genuine friendships as they are a rare find.<br /><br />Sylvia has recently released her 7th novel, <a href="http://www.sylviamassara.com/" style="transition: all 200ms linear;">The Stranger</a>, a sci-fi apocalyptic romance with moralistic issues that involve the fight of love vs evil in the cosmos.</span><br />

Every time I manage to use my
powers, nobody looks. They stare through me. But when I fail, they all notice.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“He’s only a young boy,” they say. “Who cares about a novice
<i>Potent</i>? We’re god-like compared to
him!”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Will they notice me at noon, during my flying ability examination
at the Adolescent Trials? I hope so.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I put on my black sky-suit, which will prevent forbidden use
of technology during the test. Dad used technology, before he was banished.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Waving goodbye to mother and my infant brother Darik, I take one small step on the
long road from breast toward adulthood. A path set from birth for my kind. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Leaving our single roomed cave-hut, I walk along the dusty track
to school. Fresh air mixes with pungent fog from the ore-mines. I may require a
respirator if it gets much worse. At least I have the luxury of one, unlike the
group of <i>mindless</i> human miners that pass
me. Their paler skin and lighter eyes is a sign of their lower position in
society. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://mybook.to/CanIFly" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh55DdP6F7sekGzYjL7QXQV4ApGJIgSOiRrw2JHxKTsYs7wcs1mimF_RwrbqzGVGE5rFtQCvsQF6Yr9lcHt1oik9gBnMA-D5FXR1p3bQWcQx_zO2ZOGJ-oFqdOakaPxXW7RBrY4CjsfyPA/s320/Cover+Fly.JPG" width="218" /></a>Walking is inefficient. I pity my human cousins for relying
on it. I dream of the day I can drift with elegance through clouds, into the
starry sky. I wish we were allowed to explore further into the Universe, beyond
our Celestial Spheres. But today is a start, today I can show my potential to
the teachers, so I may be certified to fly the lower skies unchaperoned. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The fog clears. I arrive at the tall crystalline building
which pierces the uneven stony ground, framed by ceremonial fires diffusing
spices. My examiners greet me. A group of six teachers from another school, in
crisp red judge’s gowns – seasoned warriors passing on their ancient skills,
their formality is intimidating, but predictable.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Practice at school and holographic simulations at home as
part of my initial training, taught me what to expect. But as I stand on the carved
triangular marker, their experienced faces cancel out my confidence and my
recollection of how to fly evaporates. After all these years waiting, I am
doing this, I have the audience I always craved, but it frightens me. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Distant stringed music, which could sooth under other
circumstances, distracts me; I must focus. But the more I try to ignore the
gentle tones, the harder they penetrate into my head.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Ready young one?” a vibrant, dark skinned <i>Potent</i> Lady says. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I nearly jump in shock. This feels rushed now.<o:p></o:p></div>

“Oh heaven forgive us,” I say joining hands with the
stranger. My inelegant mind has brought frowns to many a wise teacher this
year, so a novice girl like I should be eager
to accept any extra help offered, if we are to be
ready in time for the coming Game.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kal is sat next to me on a wooden bench, he looks deep in thought. Candles give little light to our
makeshift hut for the night, but enough to highlight this man’s obvious
intelligence, evident from his vibrant, tan-brown skin, a sure sign of
intellect – a healthy body reflects a healthy mind, quite literally among
humankind. Perhaps we have a diluted version of the helices our <i>Scient</i> cousins are blessed with,
allowing them the status of extreme beauty and infinite wisdom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I do love and admire the <i>Scient</i>, with their knowledge of all.
Black linen robes frame their formal but kind nature. They are fair rulers, who
equate to perfection in my opinion and I can only hope to have a fraction of their
wisdom inside the Arena. We mortals adore and obey their infallibility. It is
unfortunate I am partaking in one of the few activities in life they and the Tri-gods
outlaw on our Sphere. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But my status needs to improve, if these surroundings are a
measure of it. The many spiders in here, I suspect may prefer to take their
chances with dragon-frogs and the latter with wolf-hogs, than exist in a place like
this; cold, damp, but affordable. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Money has been in my thoughts all year, now I am old enough
to participate in the Game, and I cannot stop thinking of the forthcoming
contest. What will it be like to link minds with our masters watching? Ironic, artificial
synapse is illegal the rest of the year.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wonder what Kal is thinking? He looks calmer than me. Will
I meet his standards, given his past successes with better partners in the Game?
I had many complaints from previous potential team mates.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As his dark eyes meet mine, his smile fades, does he equate
my lighter features to a lack of knowledge?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“Are you ready Amara? This is important, if we fail in this
practice it’s like an Arena, we can be hurt or even die.” He looks at the unauthorised
synaptic neural link we are about to use. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
On the table next to us is the inanimate, dull, metallic
object, irregular and unremarkable, but clever in design. I imagine a <i>Scient</i> not a human created it. This
experience is vital and despite the potential consequences is worth the risk.<o:p></o:p></div>
