Supreme Leader Snoke wasn't truly "trained" by anyone in the traditional sense; he was a genetically engineered strandcast created by Darth Sidious (Emperor Palpatine) and the Sith Eternal on Exegol, serving as a powerful dark-side puppet leader for the First Order, a figurehead manipulated by Palpatine to control events from the shadows. While he wielded immense dark side power, he wasn't a Sith Lord, but a complex clone designed to further Palpatine's grand plan for galactic domination.
Unknown to all, Snoke was created by Sheev Palpatine through dark side science and genetic tampering on the hidden Sith world of Exegol shortly after his demise at the Battle of Endor.
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.
The Living Force, however, isn't easily manipulated, resulting in the bodies' rejection of the process and eventual death. Palpatine's clones needed to harness his connection to the Force, which is why Snoke and many of his other clones are so physically disfigured.
The answer, revealed in Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker, rewrote much of what we thought we knew. Rey is the granddaughter of Emperor Palpatine, also known as Darth Sidious or Sheev Palpatine—not through a traditional lineage, but through a failed clone named Dathan, Rey's father.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
It's pretty clear that operation necromancer is the effort to bring back Emperor Palpatine and Snoke is a step in that effort who served as an intermediate vessel to host his spirit until the Palpatine clone was ready. It's the project to clone palpatine in to a new body after his death in VI.
Palpy was stronger with the force, absolutely. But Yoda was the better duelist. Hence why he forced a sword fight vs a force fight. It could have gone either way depending on the circumstances, but the fact that Palpy kept keeping distance is the only reason he won.
Born on the planet Hyperkarn in 15 ABY, Rey was the daughter of Dathan and Miramir. While their names were lost to history, Rey's father was the cloned son—an artificial genetic strandcast—of the resurrected Darth Sidious, making her the granddaughter of the fallen Galactic Emperor and Dark Lord of the Sith.
During one of these missions she would break the Jedi Code's rule of attachment by falling in love with Darman, RC-1136, a clone commando in Omega Squad, and becoming pregnant with his child, Venku Skirata. The two would later marry in the traditional Mandalorian way shortly before her death in 19 BBY.
So in the comic it's stated that it was Luke who crippled Snoke. (Scar on top of head, part of his left face missing, having problem to walk properly and sit down).
Sifo-Dyas was a human male Jedi Master from Minashee who commissioned the Kaminoans' creation of the Grand Army of the Republic over a decade before the Clone Wars.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's father; Anakin had no biological father, being born of the Force itself in response to Plagueis's dark side manipulations, with Palpatine's tales of Plagueis's power over life being a manipulation to turn Anakin to the dark side, though Plagueis's attempts to create life did inadvertently cause Anakin's conception.
Luke was the last Jedi, then. Rey is the last Jedi, now. The title of each film in the sequel trilogy is a direct reference to the main protagonist of the sequel trilogy, Rey. In the Force awakens, it awakens in her.
In canon it was Kirak Infil'a , Cere Junda, Obi-Wan and Lord Momin . All messed him up quite badly with Kirak winning round 1 but losing round 2 and Momin cutting off his arm. Obi-Wan actually beat Vader. In Legends it was Shaa Koon, An'ya Kuro, a clone of Maul and Galen Marek.
I think it has a lot to do with Mace's technique, Vaapad. He basically had the ability to turn Palp's power against him. In the prequels, Yoda is referenced as a great lightsaber duelist while Mace was referenced as being powerful. Mace overpowered Palpatine's lightning and turned it back on him.
That's the most dangerous. Out of those 4 Sidious was the most powerful. He was strong in the force but his ability to manipulate a entire galaxy into crowning him, a Sith Lord, as Emperor and giving him absolute rule over a entire galaxy. He was the only one to achieve the main goal of the Sith, Galactic Dominance.
Is the Necromancer actually Sauron? Yes, the Necromancer in Dol Guldur is Sauron. He disguised himself as the Necromancer so that he might build up his forces and power and once again try to overtake Middle Earth. He needed to hide his identity from the Elves as long as possible to gather his power.
On the galactic capital Coruscant, however, he learned that the chips conditioned the clones to become hostile against the Jedi. Furthermore, he discovered to an extent Supreme Chancellor Sheev Palpatine's involvement in the conspiracy and attempted to assassinate him.
High Lord Nartesis Shazarack has long been remembered as New Cronoa's heinous Father of Necromancy.
In Star Wars lore, Order 37 was a grim Clone Trooper contingency plan to capture a wanted individual (often a Jedi) by taking a civilian population hostage, locking down the area, and threatening mass execution if the target wasn't surrendered, making it a horrific tactic used by the Empire to force Jedi compliance. It was considered more brutal than Order 66 because it targeted civilians directly, forcing Jedi to often turn themselves in to save innocent lives, as seen on planets like Bellassa.
Revenge of the Sith
Palpatine explains that Plagueis was so powerful and wise, he had mastered the dark side of the Force to such an extent that he could cheat death (mostly saving people he cared about from death) and create life; unnatural abilities which are unknown to the Jedi.
