I just realized that the Force Awakens essentially “retconned” (does that mean written out of canon?) the PT. The PT made clear that Vader was destined to destroy the Sith based on some ancient prophecy, and I’m assuming that Kylo Ren and that fish guy in the hologram are Sith - or at least the equivalent. So basically all that nonsense about the space prophecy and Vader being the savior of the universe was irrelevant.
The Nightsisters in TCW aren’t Sith and neither is Kylo Ren and his master. Abrams mentioned that Kylo Ren isn’t a Sith. Therefore, the prophecy is irrelevant to TFA. It never said “destroy the dark side.”
If Snoke is Plagueis
I’d rather Snoke be a giant midichlorian than he be Plagueis.
May I ask why? If Snoke is Plagueis that means that the Greatest Sith Lord in Galactic History was merely a pawn in what could be a much more labyrinthine scheme. I like it.
- Manipulating midichlorians isn’t that impressive. It doesn’t make Plagueis seem threatening.
In Luceno’s novel Plagueis willed someone to die through his midichlorian manipulation. He also experimented on Darth Venamis until he died and was resurrected multiple times, also it’s very possible he may be immortal due to his manipulation of midichlorians. As powerful as Sidious was he never conquered death. Palpatine’s telling of Plagueis’ legend and the force abilities showcased in the Luceno’s novel are on par so imagine what other abhorrent things Plagueis can do.
- If Snoke is Plagueis, he’s awfully lucky that Vader sacrificed himself and caught The Emperor by surprise at the same moment.
Yep. Star Wars is full of coincidences and plot conveniences. Not exactly classified information.
