![]() “George was quite categorical.” Darth Vader “I can confirm that,” he told the crowd at the Anaheim Star Wars Celebration. Palpatine actor Ian McDiarmid said in 2014 that his evil Emperor really was dead, and that he had been for the past 30 years. Other than this, the evidence for Palpatine being Snoke is rather flimsy. What’s the theory? Simple: Snoke’s actually Palpatine, who didn’t really die when Darth Vader unceremoniously dumped him down a Death Star reactor shaft. He later added that Snoke and Plagueis are two separate characters, which, assuming Hidalgo isn’t telling a few white lies to protect the truth, rather seems to put this particular fan theory to bed. In May this year, Hidalgo plainly stated that Plagueis died at the hands of Sidious (or Palpatine). Speaking of which, the creative executive of that Story Group, Pablo Hidalgo, has been vocal about the Plagueis-Snoke theory on Twitter. ![]() That doesn’t mean that Plagueis is out of the Star Wars universe, since the mention of him in Revenge of the Sith means the character’s still recognized as part of the saga’s history, but the book’s description of him as a Muun and his other antics in the novel are likely to be ignored by the current Lucasfilm Story Group. First, Luceno’s Darth Plagueis novel is no longer considered canon by Disney-Lucasfilm. There are a few downsides to this theory, however. The video below makes the parallels clear: Snoke could certainly pass for a Muun, and the apparent injuries on Snoke’s body could be the aftermath of Palpatine’s assassination attempt.Īnother piece of evidence offered in support of the Plagueis theory: the clear similarities between the musical motif John Williams composed for the character in Revenge of the Sith and the one he wrote for Snoke in The Force Awakens.

In James Luceno’s 2012 nove l Darth Plagueis, the previously obscure character was described as a Muun, a species of tall, gaunt humanoid aliens created by George Lucas in the Star Wars prequels. Perhaps using his power over midi-chlorians, Plagueis managed to revive himself and assume his place as Supreme Leader. The fan theory goes that Plagueis is far less dead than Palpatine thought he was. Anakin, controlled more by his hormones than his brain, doesn’t appear to realize that Palpatine was the very apprentice who murdered his own master. As described by Palpatine, Plagueis was a Sith Lord whose power was such that he could “create life.” Palpatine goes on to explain to Anakin Skywalker that Plagueis met an untimely end at the hand of his apprentice, who killed him in his sleep. What’s the theory? That Snoke is, in fact, Darth Plagueis the Wise, a character who was first discussed in 2005’s Revenge of the Sith.
