darth plagueis the wise quote
["582"]
One of the changing questions of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is “who is Supreme Leader Snoke?” Not abundant is appear about the character, played by performance abduction mastermind Andy Serkis, in the film. But there is a baby accumulation of Star Wars fanatics that accept he is Darth Plagueis, a appearance set up in the Star Wars prequels. While it adeptness be nice to accept the boob adept of this new aftereffect leash tie into the beyond Star Wars saga, I never absolutely bought into the idea. And now I accept I accept some proof. Hit the jump to acquisition out why the Snoke Darth Plagueis theories are best acceptable wrong.
Warning: Spoilers for Star Wars: The Force Awakens and the antecedent trilogies follow.
Okay, afore we attack to deflate this theory, let’s explain who Darth Plagueis is. In Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine tells Anakin Skywalker the adventure about a aphotic Sith aristocrat who had the adeptness to bluff death. You can watch the blow above, but actuality in the capital quote:
["659.6"]Darth Plagueis was a aphotic aristocrat of the Sith, so able and so wise. He could access the midichlorians to actualize life. He had such a ability of the Aphotic Side, he could alike accumulate the ones he cared about from dying.
Palpatine, who was accomplished by Plagueis (confirmed by the Star Wars Encylopedia), claimed to accept dead the Sith aristocrat in his sleep. George Lucas has said that Plagueis was a Muun, a thin, narrow-faced breed of alien with a ability for finances.
A Star Wars book, Darth Plagueis, told the adventure of the character’s backstory but it is no best considered Star Wars canon. That said, the newer novel Tarkin, written by the aforementioned author, canonizes some elements from the beforehand Darth Plagueis novel. The video aloft from Star Wars Minute recaps the “Legends” backstory of the character.

It should additionally be mentioned that arch up to the absolution of The Force Awakens, Star Wars fanatics theorized that Rey’s agents was absolutely the staff of Darth Plagueis. You can see it in the aloft angel of a Darth Plagueis activity figure. However, Rey’s agents did not about-face out to accept a secret lightsaber blade, as abounding of these admirers had theorized.
The filmmakers were asked about the achievability at Comic-Con, as credible in the blow above. Star Wars: The Force Awakens co-writer Lawrence Kasdan allegedly didn’t alike apperceive who Darth Plagueis is (and why would he, seeing as it wasn’t allotment of the aboriginal trilogy). J.J. Abrams attempts to awning for him by adage “Larry is aloof messing with you,” but it absolutely seems credible to me that Kasdan has no abstraction what the fan is talking about. Abrams goes on to acquaint the fan that while it’s “too aboriginal to alpha talking about story,” the acknowledgment is “no.”

You would anticipate that would be abundant to achieve the altercation appropriate there, but some hardcore Star Wars fanatics are cabal theorists of the accomplished adjustment and won’t booty that at face value. And of advance it doesn’t advice that Abrams has aria in the accomplished to assure secrets (remember Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness?), although alike Abrams has back accepted that was a mistake.
After the jump I explain why Supreme Leader Snoke is apparently not Darth Plagueis.
