Sake of the argument He is Mace (I dont think so though) all we have seen is a Hologram..he could be 2 foot tall for all we know. Although there was that picture of Serkis in a mocap suit on stilts...
That's what I'm guess. "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." Considering how much they blatantly stole from other movies, it wouldn't be a stretch that Snoke is all smoke and mirrors.
Maz Kanata has 4 fingers as well. If Maz is a Jawa, perhaps Snoke is a former disgruntled Jawa
Snoke is Maz's old boyfriend.
In ep2, Obi Wan convinces Anakin to leave Padme where she fell in the desert, because stopping Dooku could end the war right then. If Anakin had let Dooku go to help Padme, he might've been expelled from the Jedi order, according to Obi Wan.
Yoda lets Dooku escape to save Obi Wan and Anakin from being crushed.
See? The Jedi are hypocrites. NTM, if Anakin had been expelled, he wouldn't have been instrumental in Order 66. Oh silly Jedi. You just have to open your mouths.
Padme was in no real danger. She landed on a dune that cushioned her fall (relatively), she was far away from the fighting and there was a trooper with her. Obi-Wan and Anakin on the other hand were in quite a bit of danger.
Ever fell onto sand? It's not as forgiving as you would think. Kind of like water. It takes time to.....acquiesce to your presence. If you come in too fast, it's like hitting stone.
Honestly, my feeling about Han and Leia's marriage was that with the vast differences in outlooks and temperaments, their marriage wasn't going to be stable under the best of circumstances. After what happened with Ben...well...for me, I felt like I understood what happened, even though it means there was no fairy tale ending as a lot of fans would have wanted.
And I also think that the way Han went out ultimately fulfilled his character development arc in a powerful way. Yes, he did try to run like he did when he was younger at first. But in the end, his love for his son and his desire to get him back at any cost won out. And for someone who began A New Hope as a completely selfish individual to go out on that bridge knowing he was very likely to sacrifice his life--AND STILL SHOW THAT LOVE AND COURAGE AFTER THE BETRAYAL--to me, that is incredibly powerful. Yes, it may have been in the proverbial last minute...but he completed his hero's journey.
But what can I say--I'm one of those "weird" people who really loved TFA.
We know. I thought Han and Leia would have been too bull headed to admit defeat.
Hey, if Princess Leia originally had the plans for the death star, won't a young Princess Leia be in Rogue One?
No. The plans were transmitted to her ship. They may, just to thrill the fans.
Little blue hologram and a voice over would work. Doesn't even need to be Carrie Fisher at that point save for the face.
Please don't let it be Carrie. She sounds terrible. I think the only way they could manage it would be a similar technique to how they resurrected Alec Guinness in TFA.
My 10 year old son asked me today while I was explaining why Yoda and obi-wan are ghosts. He said "what if the hologram of Snoke isn't a hologram and is a ghost instead?" Now initially he meant the emperor's ghost, but then I got to thinking that what if it is an ancient sith, Plagueis or another, who is a ghost spirit? It's something to kick around, no?
Points to your kid. That would actually be an excellent twist. Even I'd accept that.
Can the Jedi and Sith spirits appear to non force sensitives? I see no sign that Hux is a force user. I sensed a rivalry between them, like children competing for daddy's approval, but no sign that Hux was receiving training.
I don't think so. Because at the end of ROTJ Leia doesn't seem to notice the...........Trinity.
Another Valid point. I don't think Non Force Sensitives can see them, and yea Hux, Ren and Phasma all kind of had a "I want to be favorite" mentality. It's why I think Phasma shut down the shields without much fuss. No one knows it was her and Hux is going to look mighty bad in Snoke's eyes now that he Lost their greatest weapon.
Technology for space flight, light speed, super-planet-killing-lasers and lightsabers, but no one's ever heard user IDs and passwords?
I found that a little strange that Phasma was so easily coerced for being a "true believer". Plus, she couldn't have opened an comm channel for everyone else to hear that the base had been infiltrated? Even the tool from Sector 7 was smart enough to do that. So how would she have been able to get out of the rumored trash.
I think I heard this correctly on a video recently that the Sith can't become Force Ghosts as the Living (Cosmic) Force and the Force Priestesses (there were three or four female ghost guardians sort of like a council for the afterlife) that judged which Force sensitives were worthy of transcending to become part of the Living (C0smic) Force and a Ghost. The person would have to have lived a selfless life and given fully to better the galaxy etc. Even then if considered a possible candidate the person would have had to have received instruction on how to transcend when such time came upon them.
I know what you are going to say...what about Anakin? He was a Sith/Darkside but he became a Force Ghost right? Well the explanation goes Anakin reconciled with Luke and in saving his son became selfless so became eligible. And Darth Bane's "Ghost" that confronted Yoda, was a Force Apparition or Sith magic not a true Force Ghost .
So sorry to the Sith out there if this is correct, however I am not sure whether non sensitives can see true Force Ghosts, I will look into the matter further.
Do you really think a Sith is going to listen to the rules of a trio of witches. Kinda like Kratos listening to the Sisters of Fate. Not gonna happen.
PS: Sorry for the book, but there were a lot of good points to hit on.
