When it comes to combat skills, there's no question that Palpatine was far more capable with a lightsaber in his hands than Snoke. Not many people can launch into a 920 corkscrew spin from a prone position and that includes the Supreme Leader.
Snoke is not even near Palpatine in power, I wouldn't even place him at the same level of Count Dooku. Considering how easily Kylo Ren killed him (and Ren wasn't even a Sith Lord), I'd say Palpatine would obliterate him with a gesture.
Had Vader and Snoke faced off against each other, Snoke's impressive Force abilities would have allowed him to defeat Vader with a mere flick of his fingers.
Snoke, whom Abrams called "a powerful figure on the dark side of the Force", was introduced as the leader of the First Order and master to the sequel trilogy's main villain, Kylo Ren. Serkis described Snoke as "quite an enigmatic character, and strangely vulnerable at the same time as being quite powerful.
Nevertheless, it's fascinating that the one Star Wars character who knows their abilities best is willing to consider that Darth Vader may genuinely be stronger than Palpatine.
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.
It seems improbable that Snoke did not know that Palpatine created him, but despite being steeped in knowledge surrounding the Dark Side, there is no evidence in any of the canon content that Snoke knew Palpatine was alive, let alone that he created him.
This caused him to attempt to assassinate him in his sleep. Needless to say, Kylo Ren is almost definitely a significant threat. However, we cannot definitively say that he is more powerful than Luke. Kylo's powers are vast but they are still highly unbalanced and difficult to control.
The only Sith Lord who actually killed Vader, Darth Sidious kept his apprentice in line for over two decades. His true advantage was Force lightning, a power which would wreak havoc on the suit keeping him alive.
During the timeframe of The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi, Snoke was undoubtedly more proficient in using the dark side, but Kylo was still the more powerful of the two in terms of raw and potential strength.
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.
The aforementioned insight into Palpatine and Snoke's situation comes from the book Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary by Pablo Hidalgo. In this book, This hints Snoke believed he was an independent being and had no awareness of Palpatine's control over him.
Since Snoke is a strand-cast, his height was likely deliberately determined before his creation by Palpatine and the Sith Eternal cultists. With this in mind, a tall and intimidating appearance is unsurprising for a being who was initially intended to simply house Palpatine's spirit.
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.
That didn't stop fans speculating on whether Snoke was really Darth Plagueis or Anakin Skywalker's evil twin or something else entirely. It didn't turn out to be anything as grand when The Rise of Skywalker revealed that, actually, Emperor Palpatine was in charge all along.
Even with Palpatine's return, Snoke still wouldn't be considered a Sith, as he wasn't trained as one and he was mostly used as a proxy ruler of the First Order and master of Kylo Ren, tasked with molding him into an heir worthy of inheriting the Sith legacy, but that didn't turn out as expected.
The most agreed upon theory, started by Reddit user Lumparoo in 2016, is that Jar-Jar is a powerful Force-user conspiring with Darth Sidious. In addition to this, some believe he either trained, or was supposed to become Supreme Leader Snoke, or that he is a reincarnation of Darth Plagueis.
Created on Exegol, Droid Snoke was a failed clone of Snoke. The cloning process caused him to think he was a droid, a defect labeling him a reject in the eyes of a Sith scientist. The scientist later spoke with an individual who sought out and defeated Droid Snoke at the scientist's request.
There was only a single identical Palpatine clone, but numerous altered clones over the entire Sith headquarters. In Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, why was Palpatine's return from the dead criticised even though he did the same thing multiple times in the Legends continuity?
That said, regardless of Palpatine's true intentions during that fight, Mace Windu is powerful enough to defeat Palpatine. Windu combines incredible lightsaber skills with extensive knowledge of the Force, not to mention unique abilities such as the now-Star Wars canon Shatterpoint.
Yep. Darth Maul didn't really say or show straight up that he "feared" Darth Vader, but he openly stated his belief that he could not defeat Darth Vader without the help of the Jedi, therefore on his own.
As the grandson of Anakin Skywalker (on his mother's side), one of the most powerful Force users in the galaxy, Kylo Ren has the appropriate bloodline to destroy Palpatine. It was a redeemed Anakin Skywalker who killed Palpatine the first time, and the same midi-chlorians flow through Ren's veins.
