**Spoiler Warning**


Snoke = Ezra. Smothered in clues and subtle hints.

Snoke is not a Sith in the proper sense, because though Ezra's time with Maul has given him (Snoke) an interesting perspective of both Jedi (Kanan) and Sith (Maul) instruction and knowledge, Snoke is not a Jedi or a Sith.

Just as "Vader" was a hint at "father," Snoke is Norwegian for "snoop," and Ezra is a curious individual, always want to uncover and learn and understand, even that which he should not. His curiosity and his need to meddle is his fault. His morbid curiosity draws him down paths he should not tread, but he can't help poking and snooping about (the Jedi Temple, the holocrons, Maul's experiences and stories, etc. ....). Ezra is also an obvious anagram for "raze," which means to completely destroy an area, and more importantly "Bridger" is a rough Norwegian anagram for "ask both," not to mention that "Bridger" itself implies someone who builds a bridge between two things (e.g. a bridge between the Jedi and the Sith ways, a well-intentioned but doomed effort to connect the Light and the Dark). Perhaps even that Ezra will "raze" the "bridge" between light and dark by unbalancing the Force and casting it into Darkness.

Also, Ezra is a figure from Judaism, also known as "Ezra the Scribe" because he was fluent in two languages (Jedi and Sith knowledge?) and returned to Babylon as an exile in an effort to reunite his people through his wisdom (the re-unification of the Light and Dark Side?). Babylon itself has some interesting mythological symbolism, given the Tower of Babel. This parable was inspired by the Etemenaki built by the King of Babylonia. For those unfamiliar, the Tower of Babel was a prideful attempt by a leader to build a tower so tall and mighty it would reach the heavens, but the effort fails because the workers are made to speak different, incompatible languages (the hubris of attempting to have Jedi and Sith principles, which are unltimately incompatible, combined to lead toward great and unlimited power?)

Well played, LFL, well-played.

I think Snoke is... just Snoke.

Not everything has to be connected.

Finn was not a Windu, and Jynn wasn't anyone's mom.

Time will tell.

See that big Collar snoke has? That's bone according to concept art.

Interesting idea

Could Snoke/Ezra apparence be explained by a fight with Vader where he was left for dead ?

Jeg tviler på det

That's Norwegian for I really doubt it.

I respectfully disagree with this theory.

Amusing to have a 'spoiler warning' in your post while the thread title is the spoiler.

That said, like others in the thread, I doubt it will end up being the case.

I would be with the others on this and don't think so. But it would be amusing if the Grand Inquisitor was Snoke.

Snoke is... sno joke.

Or Snoke is just a new result of ****-tier writing in a world of villains named Dooku and Poggle.

Snoke is... sno joke.

Booooo.......

You left out the Guardians of the Whills.

People who don't properly use the off topic forum are like people who don't use their turn signals.

Ezra is Arze spelled backwards, which everyone knows William Wallace shoots fireballs out of his. William Wallace also shots lightning bolts from his eyes, and Sith shoot lightning. Sith and Snoke both start with "S", so clearly William Wallace is Snoke

What... Snoke and Maz are not just lazy rehashes of characters we already had?

But some may say this is the general forum and off-topic is for Non Star Wars related material. Perhaps it isn't like 'people that don't use their turn signals' and more like you prefer people to do it your way and if they don't it is as annoying 'to you' as someone who doesn't use their turn signals. But annoyance can go both ways I'm sure.

[Edited for spell'in an grammar only]

Snoke doesn't seem all that stressed to me. So when he finally makes his way into x-wing in a years time, I doubt he'll have much to do with stress. Though I am sure he'll have some kind of condition card.

I love the timing of the spoiler alert.

This is my new head canon.

I demand Snoke arze-blasting Rey by episode IX.

Correction. You think Ezra is Snoke. .

I think Bail Organa is Snoke.

Why would they show him so much in the nu-canon?

His deformations are from when the Alderaan exploded, he obviously wants to take revenge on Leia, as he believes it's her fault that his planet was turned into an asteroid belt.

Bail Organa is played by Jimmy Smits. Snoke and Smits have the same number of letters. Now, change "mits" from "Smits" to "noke"

SNOKE

Coincidence? I think not!

I think Bail and Ahsoka are Rey's parents, but I have to iron out this theory a bit before revealing it.

Until we have any better evidence to the contrary, I am going with the theory that Gallius Rax becomes Snoke (although why he changed his name is anyone's guess, it seems fashionable for darksiders).

Ezra is the same age as Luke and Leia and I am pretty sure JJ confirmed that Snoke is older than that having witnessed the Clone Wars.

Or Snoke is just a new result of ****-tier writing in a world of villains named Dooku and Poggle.

Have you ever heard the story of darth plageuis the wise? It's not a story the jedi would tell you...

Bor Gullet is Snoke. We've only seen Snoke through hologram so he could be anything that he wants. The First Order and Starkiller base were all just fronts for his plan to have Kylo Ren kidnap people to bring to Bor for probing. Rey should thank her lucky stars that she escaped.

Want proof?

Snoke sounds like Snork.

The Snorks had a pet named Occy.

Occy was a creature with lots of tentacles.

Occy is an alternate spelling of oke which leaves Sn.

Sn is the symbol for 10. Which is the number of tentacles a squid has.

Mace Windu is Snoke.

Snoke's disfigured face came from Palps zapping him and chucking him out of the window.

There was never a body found, and if Maul can survive cosmetic surgery, Windu can handle a little static cling.

Mace was definitely evil all along, but pretended to be friendly because the council chairs were so cushy.
