The real question is if they’ll actually call him Plageuis, or if he’ll just make some vague comment about having trained Palpatine.
Either way, I won’t really mind if it’s dealt with in the proper fashion.But if he actually is Plageuis, why the whole Knights of Ren thing? Isn’t Plageuis supposed to be a Sith?
Kylo could have formed his band of knights before meeting Snoke. As we only see them in the Force vision, do we even know these guys are still alive?
That Snoke likes to appear as a 50 foot hologram, (and Kylo apparently is the only one we know that’s met him in person) makes me wonder if he’s pulling a Balok.
I like the Balok idea, and that would kind of make sense. Of course he could be trying to fool Hux instead, or it could be both. He seems old and weak, so it would make sense that he would try and appear stronger than he is. Also, in a recent “review” of the TFA novelization it was pointed out that Snoke appears to fear Luke, and that the Starkiller Base attack on the Resistance base is rushed and seemingly desperate. We could end up with a very frail and weak villain operating everything behind the curtains.
However, Kylo/Ben did not form the Knights of Ren according to a recent interview with Adam Driver. He describes them as a group that existed before his fall to the dark side.
