Snoke's obsession with finding Rey is a result of Palpatine knowing her true identity. You can go back and watch "The Force Awakens" and "The Last Jedi" and it sort of works. But when Larry Kasdan and I worked on 'The Force Awakens,' we didn't do it in a vacuum." That's not to say there was a bible and we knew what happens at every step. "You just look at what he talks about, who he is, how important he is, what the story is - strangely, his absence entirely from the third trilogy would be conspicuous. "When you look at this as nine chapters of a story, perhaps the weirder thing would be if Palpatine didn't return," said Abrams. Abrams said Palpatine was discussed when working on "The Force Awakens." If you aren’t familiar with The Son, I wouldn’t blame you since he’s a relatively recent addition to the lore."The Rise of Skywalker" director J.J. The world was home to three powerful force wielders and existed outside of the material world, serving as a conduit of The Force itself.Īround the end of The Clone Wars’ third season, there was a segment of three episodes revolving around the planet of Mortis. The force wielders were known simply as The Father, The Daughter and The Son. The Daughter was the embodiment of the Light Side, The Son the embodiment of the Dark while the Father struggled to keep the two in balance. When the Father realized he was dying, he sent out a 2,000 year old Jedi distress signal to lure The Chosen One, Anakin Skywalker, to his planet with the intention of having Anakin take his place. Initially, Anakin rejects the offer, but after The Son kidnaps his apprentice, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin is forced to stay and confront the situation. Eventually, Anakin confronts The Son in an area of the planet called The Well of the Dark Side, a place where all of the universal energies of the Dark Side flowed (sound familiar?). After being given a glimpse of his dark future, Anakin joins The Son, who promises that the events of the vision will not come to pass, and that together they will restore peace and order to the galaxy if he helps him escape back into the material world. However, before the two can escape, The Father is able to wipe Anakin’s mind of the vision and the two band together to kill The Son. Remember Yupe Tasho’s quote from Aftermath about finding the “wellspring of the Dark Side”? The Well of the Dark Side on Mortis seems to fit that description perfectly. We also might be looking for a character that doesn’t identify themselves as “Sith”, which The Son does when we first meet him. The force wielders of Mortis simply embody aspects of the Force, rather than ally themselves with specific groups of people. Abrams is making it clear that neither Kylo Ren nor Snoke are Sith Lords, than The Son would fit that requirement as well.įrom an abilities perspective, if The Son is the embodiment of the Dark Side, couldn’t he also have Plagueis’ power of sustaining life? In Revenge of the Sith, Palpatine explicitly states that the ability can’t be learned from a Jedi, that the Dark Side “is a pathway to many abilities, some considered to be unnatural” (like cheating death), so there shouldn’t be any question that the power can only be used by Dark Side users.
The Son also conveys a desire to Anakin about ruling the Galaxy, which ends up being the sales pitch that gets Anakin to join him, meaning he has a sense (albeit a twisted one) about what it takes to rule. The Son also has a lot of experience being exposed to the idea of Balance in the Force from The Father, which could explain why Snoke chooses Ben Solo, who supposedly holds both sides of the Force in him, as his apprentice and Leader of The Knights of Ren. Not only that, it is described that Snoke develops a fascination for the Skywalker family, which would make sense especially if he’s met one before. You could also make the case that Snoke and The Son share a very similar physical appearance.
