The technically canonical book reveals that early attempts to clone Emperor Palpatine came out either disfigured or without Force powers. Snoke was one of the disfigured clones, which means he probably didn't have any Gideon DNA mixed in.
I cite a scene from Rise of Skywalker, where we see several Snoke clones in a tank. This is a pretty good indicator that Snoke was created by the Sith Eternal, not Moff Gideon's remnant.
Revealed to be a genetic strandcast created by Emperor Palpatine to lead the First Order, Snoke became Palpatine's proxy during the sequel era ahead of The Rise of Skywalker. However, The Mandalorian season 2 may have teased where Snoke's own power in the Force came from.
Having succeeded in acquiring Grogu's blood Gideon used it to create force-sensitive clones of himself to incorporate into his army, as well as designing the Dark Trooper phase 4 armor, which he wore to battle himself.
At the time of The Mandalorian story, it is pretty clear that Moff Gideon is not a Sith Lord even though he has the Darksaber in his possession nor does he have any links to the Jedi. Moff Gideon is nothing more than one of the Empire's existing bad guys who officially worked for the Imperial Security Bureau.
He was afraid of meeting the legend that was Luke Skywalker. At this point in Star Wars history, Jedi were still scarce, so when he heard that a Jedi was there, he must have known exactly who it was. To an Imperial officer, this Jedi did nothing but inspire terror.
According to The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary (2019), Snoke's physical appearance was purposefully designed by Palpatine to ensure his species remained unidentifiable. Furthermore, Snoke's reluctance to meet in person with his First Order underlings helped conceal the fact that he was an artificial being.
Mace Windu. Now, Snoke is not the Emperor, he's a mere clone of him, a puppet. However, this does not mean he's weak. The Supreme Leader has great knowledge in the dark side and has perform a few feats of his own and was almost near Palpatine's power.
In summery, snoke was someone who served on the Senate. And apparently be was supposed to be a dark side user who was in contact with anakin while still in the jedi order.
Season 3 starts strong with Din Djarin's mission and introduces clone army based on Moff Gideon's genetic template. Dr. Pershing's cloning research leads to creation of Snoke, with ties to Palpatine's futile efforts for immortality.
Why didn't Snoke use a lightsaber? - Quora. Some Sith held such a mastery over the Force that a lightsaber would have simply slowed them down. Sith like Snoke were so old and had such vast knowledge about the Dark Side that a lightsaber seemed almost archaic to them, a symbol of a more primitive time.
Despite his origins, Snoke was not a Sith, but was used as a tool by them to groom and mold Ben Solo, the eventual Kylo Ren, into an heir worthy of Darth Vader's legacy, testing his capacity to inherit the Sith legacy as a whole and rule the galaxy as the new Emperor.
Moff Gideon's obsession with Mandalore ties into his goal of cloning himself for immortality. Mandalore served as the perfect secret base for Gideon to carry out his cloning experiments.
Gideon survived the crash, and carves his way out of the wreckage with what looks very much like a black lightsaber. And the reason it looks like a black lightsaber is because that's exactly what it is. Gideon is wielding the blade known as the Darksaber.
The Supreme Leader of the First Order, the mysterious Snoke was powerful with the dark side of the Force, and seduced Ben Solo into abandoning the Jedi path to become his apprentice. He also commanded the technological war machine engineered to destroy the New Republic and the Resistance.
Snoke believed his actions were his own and that the Emperor had long since died. In truth, Snoke was only ever a puppet, a proxy used by the resurrected Palpatine as he sought to create a more suitable Force-sensitive body that could sustain his dark spirit without breaking down.
The term “gray Jedi” in Star Wars is somewhat of a misnomer, considering that the definition refers to one who is practically non-Jedi. That being said, quite a few Jedi can be placed into this category. But Mace Windu identified as a Jedi despite his possible inclusion in the "gray" category.
Summary. Jar Jar Binks's clumsiness may not be genuine, but rather an act to disguise his true nature as a Sith Lord infiltrating the Republic. Palpatine carefully orchestrated events to manipulate the galaxy, and Jar Jar's involvement suggests he may have been the eyes and ears on Naboo.
Snoke and his many copies were not a clone of any known individual the way the Clone Army soldiers were modified copies of Jango Fett. Nor was he a one-for-one recreation of a previous body like Palpatine's clone body. Snoke was an entirely new being made from scratch, and Dr.
Thus, while Qui-Gon was less powerful than the likes of Yoda and Mace Windu, Palpatine feared him more. In the simplest terms, he was a wild card, and with the Sidious executing an intricate decades-long plan to seize power and destroy the Jedi, a wild card was something he just couldn't afford.
R2-D2 was present when Padmé gave birth to Leia and Luke, so he knew Luke was Anakin's son – but what he didn't know was that Anakin became Darth Vader. In addition to that, Anakin's fall was surely a painful event in R2-D2's life, one that he definitely wouldn't like to remember or even talk about.
By circa 9 ABY, after the fall of the Empire, Gideon still possessed the Darksaber, and was the leader of an Imperial remnant on the planet of Nevarro. During his rescue of the Force-sensitive foundling Grogu from Gideon, the Mandalorian Din Djarin won the Darksaber from Gideon in combat.
If Vader managed to get to Luke before he did and convert him, he was basically doomed. Darth Sidious fears Luke Skywalker in the same way he feared Anakin before he managed to manipulate him into becoming his apprentice. He fears how powerful he can become.
