Thanks for sharing. At first I really liked the idea that Snoke was some kind of homunculus controlled by Palpatine, but I really don’t like the idea that killing Snoke was actually some sort of test for Kylo. The more I think about it the more I feel like Snoke being Palpatine’s apprentice would’ve been a much simpler explanation.
Who was Snoke a clone of? Was he a clone or a creation? Did Palpatine control him directly? Or was he given false memories?
I don’t know. I just think Snoke would’ve worked better if he had his own agency, rather than basically being Palpatine speaking through a puppet body.
I still don’t get this. Saying he was a test kinda implies he wasn’t a puppet, no? To me it sounds like Palpatine made Snoke and sent him out to do his bidding but knew if Kylo was as powerful as he could be he would overthrow the inferior Snoke. That’s how it all reads to me at least.
