![]() ![]() Lacking the discipline and lightsaber skills of any Sith previously seen, Kylo Ren is matched by a stormtrooper (albeit a potentially Force-sensitive Stormtrooper) in combat. It's not even possible to call Kylo Ren "Snoke's right hand man," since General Hux seems to be of equal rank, snidely warning Kylo Ren to remember they both serve the Supreme Leader's orders to the letter.įinally, if Kylo Ren is truly a Sith apprentice, or even the pupil of a skilled, evil Force user. Kylo Ren doesn't refer to Snoke as "Lord" or "Master," only "Supreme Leader" a term that sounds more like a political or governmental title than even a military one (or, as the film shows, both). There's no actual evidence directly stating that either man is a Sith, or as stated above, that Snoke is trained in use of the Force. The implication is easy to detect - which is why theorists should remember to examine what's actually offered. The worse "sense" is dropped again when Kylo Ren confides in his grandfather, claiming that Snoke can "sense" his pupil being pulled to the light, and perhaps losing commitment to their cause.

The identity of the mystery experiment remains just that, a mystery. That’s further backed up by a foetus-like figure in the tubes in the lab that each resemble Snoke.Īs of writing, that hasn’t been confirmed either way – either in the show or by anyone at Lucasfilm or Disney. However, it’s more likely that we’re witnessing the growing pains, in a manner of speaking, in the attempts to create Snoke. ![]() There's also potential that it's a body meant for the spirit of Palpatine to inhabit. Now, that could be Palpatine’s body, but the timelines don't match up. There, they stumble upon a video recording of a scientist explaining that they’ve been taking blood from someone with a high midichlorian count (most likely The Child) and transferring it into the subject’s body.
