Out of their teachings, stemmed the Blackguard (who seem very similar to the Knights of Ren).įor some reason, I don't think the KOR were created by Snoke. Skere Kaan was once a Jedi who - due to his radical and extremist views - led a group of knights away from the Jedi Order and set up his own organisation - The Brotherhood of Darkness. I think Kylo's background might have been influenced from the old EU, specifically elements from the character Skere Kaan. Snoke, biding his time, knew of the inevitable moment that Kylo would come to him in search of knowledge about his grandfather and of the force. Snoke told a young, gullible Kylo that he knew about Darth Vader (more so than what Luke had told him) and he promised to make Kylo realise his true potential. What if Snoke is the dark side version of Yoda? Not physically strong, but an ancient being who is steeped in dark side knowledge.

Whilst secluded, he went in search of a wise, ancient being - one that he possibly became aware of through a force ghost/vision (similar to when Luke went to Dagobah in search of Yoda). As a result, Kylo ran away from the Jedi and his family and went into hiding. That he believed his own potential was greater than simply being a Jedi, and he thought he could be as powerful as his grandfather once was. So what if Kylo found Snoke, instead of Snoke finding Kylo? What if Kylo left the Jedi Order because of his own radical views - views that opposed the teachings of the Jedi. The reason being is - having presumably been close to Luke and Leia for a considerable amount of time - why would Snoke not just plot to kill the Skywalkers during that time period? If he had gained the trust of the Skywalkers, why waste time manipulating a young boy to do his work, when he would've had the perfect opportunity to take advantage of the trust he had earned? If Snoke was injured before Kylo's time, then I think it's very unlikely that he had any direct contact.īut if Snoke became injured after Kylo's seduction, then yes, it's possible Snoke had direct contact with Kylo from a young age, but I still find this unlikely. I think this could all depend on when exactly Snoke sustained his injuries. So Han and Leia said Snoke seduced their son to the dark side, but how did this all come about? I haven't been able to find a dedicated thread on this topic - apologies if there is one - so I thought I would begin one here.
