ST Huge new spoilers/interpretation of TFA: Palpatine is Plagueis is Snoke/ Rey IS Luke!!!!

In an article that was just posted on makingstarwars.net, a site that produced an almost perfect spoiled summary of TFA, they have just released huge, huge news! Warning spoilers about the backstory of TFA follow:

Here's a summary of it. Our theories about the identity of Snoke are all kind of wrong and kind of right. This is the reality. Snoke is actually both Palpatine and Plagueis. Palpatine did kill Plagueis, just like old canon. However, he kept his body intact. Palpatine also did learn the power to manipulate life. So, when he was thrown down the reactor shaft, just as he was entering death (a state beyond time or space), Palpatine tried to transfer his essence into the preserved Plagueis. However, (and this was Rian Johnson's idea who loves time-travel) he didn't totally succeed as planned. Instead, he transferred his essence into Plagueis while Plagueis was still alive, actually at the time he was being electrocuted by Palpatine (So Plagueis knows not to trust Palpatine) and that's why Snoke is so scarred. Consequently, they're both alive in Snoke. So, Snoke has like a split personality like Smeagol/Gollum, except each one is evil and has different agendas, and each one is trying to take control of Snoke, so they sort of get along but are also vying for control.

Here's the other big twist. Palpatine's act sort of reset the Star Wars timeline by altering this past event, but not in a dumb way like happened with Trek. Instead, the old timeline was left intact (the OT), but the new timeline has been merged with the old timeline. Thus, there was a 2nd Chosen One (not Anakin but Anakin's spiritual copy) and that 2nd Chosen One also had children, and Rey is his child. (Kylo could be too. The article didn't say, though it hinted at this.) Thus, Rey is basically Luke's spiritual counterpart. In a sense, Rey is Luke! This also explains why TFA was so similar to ANH. The two different timelines have been merged into one, and since Rey "is" Luke, she has to go through the same hero's journey that Luke went through. I was actually not that impressed by TFA, but this new news really has me psyched for Ep. 8! I imagine it's going to delve into all the consequences of these 2 mixed timelines and the strangeness of Luke serving as teacher to his spiritual self in another body.

boo.

 

Yay! Click bait titles!

 

I didn't real that squabble because it's April Fool's Day. Hit me tomorrow with that nonsense.

 

Hmmm...

 

Well, maybe makingstarwarsnet is trying to pull a fast one, but it was posted yesterday or maybe day before there, and it's a pretty comprehensive idea. Now I'm questioning it a little myself, but it seems like a cool idea, and it got me so excited, so now I don't know. I mean, those ideas do seem pretty cool, don't they?

 

I read a similar theory on latino-review.com

 

alternative timeline and JJ = I buy it. I also cannot wait for the riot of all SW fans when they find it out, JJ, Rian and all LFL responsible need to find an isolated island to hide.

 

Oh, yeah, duh... I also read it there too. So, there's that.

 

Palpaplagueis is actually Old Joe from Looper who not only traveled in time, but in space, a long time ago far far away. Thanks Rian.

 

April Fools Day sucks. I can never fool anyone...

 

Maul is for the Obi-Wan film... along with Ahsoka.
