Supreme commander snoke3/22/2023 Snoke Was a Strand-Cast Created by PalpatineĮmperor Palpatine created Snoke to be his proxy through which he could regain his power. This bit of Star Wars jargon means Snoke isn’t an exact copy of anyone, but isn’t natural-born either.Īlthough Snoke was bio-engineered in a lab on Exegol, he was a strand-cast, not a clone. We’ve heard the term “strand-cast” before. ![]() In The Mandalorian, Kuill speculates that Grogu might be a strand-cast - a speculation which turned out to be wrong when Ahsoka revealed Grogu grew up in the Jedi Temple. ![]() Palpatine’s ultimate plan was to use Snoke as his voice to whisper in Kylo Ren’s ear. It was one of several ways he was working behind the scenes all along to build the First Order - itself just a shell for the new Empire being built on Exegol. Stream your Star Wars favorites right here! With his own clone body decrepit but his spirit still strong in the Force, Palpatine could possess other people but was looking for a permanent new vessel. Snoke was likely born from these experiments but was too imperfect a vessel to house Palpatine’s spirit. There were other candidates, like the strand-cast who became Rey’s father. But since the process that created strand-casts could not reliably replicate Force-sensitivity, Palpatine’s “son” was not Force sensitive. The Sith lord next turned his attention to Rey in The Rise of Skywalker. ![]() This strand-cast/cloning storyline shares several plot points with the classic Dark Empire comic series, where Palpatine bided his time until he could come back in a younger, stronger clone body and re-create the Empire. Unlike Palpatine’s strand-cast “son,” Snoke didn’t know he was created in a lab by the Sith lord nor that he was being manipulated to rebuild the Emperor’s forces. In fact, despite being created some time after the Battle of Endor, he believed to have lived through the rise and fall of the Empire.Īll of this is revealed in the novelization of The Force Awakens, in a twist that might actually have been a result of The Rise of Skywalker not having been written or planned out yet. But his status as a Sith sleeper agent fits with Palpatine’s plan, too.
