But could someone like Plagueis really be killed? Did he use his powers to somehow survive the attempt on his life and return to plague (sorry) the galaxy once more, as Snoke? Plagued by Darth PlagueisĬasual Star Wars fans are probably scratching their heads over this one – just who the heck is Darth Plagueis? For the answer to that question, think back to Star Wars – Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, when soon-to-be-Emperor Palpatine recounts the Sith legend of Darth Plagueis the Wise”, a Sith Lord said to be so powerful, he could cheat death itself.Īccording to Palpatine’s tale, Plagueis was killed by his apprentice – strongly implied to be Palpatine himself in the film, and confirmed in external canon sources – while he slept. In fact, I think it’s just as likely that the secret to Snoke’s true identity is that there is no secret at all! So, let’s take a quick look at a few of the more high profile theories currently doing the rounds, and I’ll shoot them down like womp rats in Beggar’s Canyon. It’s reached the point where I’ve now reviewed the most popular fan conjecture regarding Snoke, and after all that, I’ve come away with the conclusion that none of them are correct. Lately, I’ve been mulling over one batch of Star Wars theories in particular: theories about the true identity of shadowy villain Supreme Leader Snoke. Of these theories, a sizeable chunk can be attributed to the Star Wars franchise, with these hypotheses ranging from the obvious (Palpatine and Darth Sidious are the same guy) to the entertaining (Jar Jar Binks is secretly a Sith Lord) and right on through to the desperate (Boba Fett actually killed Luke’s aunt and uncle because…reasons?). And for as long as there have been fans, there have been fan theories. For as long as there has been pop culture, there have been fans.
