As the user explains, Snoke-whose identity remains a controversial secret-is described as a seeker and collector of arcane and ancient memorabilia and lore. That's the last we've seen of Palpatine in the Skywalker Saga until the upcoming Episode IX. But unfortunately for Plagueis, Darth Vader had a change of heart and defeated the Emperor. Luke Skywalker was meant to be the next host body for Darth Plagueis. He wasn't just looking for an apprentice, he was looking for a new body since Palpatine's body was growing old. Why would Palpatine want to be killed if the goal is longevity? Because Emperor Palpatine was assumed by Darth Plagueis and, through his death, he would then be able to transmit himself into a new host body.
Ever wonder why Palpatine was so obsessed with training a powerful young apprentice? Surely he knew that one day the apprentice would want to overthrow him, so why train his own murderer? In Return of the Jedi, Emperor Palpatine continually provokes Luke to strike him down. Darth Plagueis unlocked the secret to immortality by moving from one body to the next, continuing his lifespan through multiple hosts over countless years. Plagueis, he points out, sounds a lot like plague (Star Wars has never been known for subtlety). By dying, I believe Darth Plagueis was able to transmit himself into Sheev and assume control of his body, almost like an infectious disease. So, why, this user asks, if Plagueis was so powerful, did he "lose his power" and not anticipate his apprentice killing him? The truth is, he didn't lose his power and he knew Sheev planned to kill him. Fans have long theorized that Palpatine could somehow return using the techniques he learned from Plagueis.īut, one Reddit user has taken this theory one step further, and explains how Plagueis also connects to Snoke and Kylo Ren. This apprentice, as you may have guessed, was Palpatine, who we now know will be returning in Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.
