New Star Wars Theory Explains Why Palpatine Had So Many Snoke Clones
What’s the deal with Snoke? That’s a question Star Wars fans were asking for years before the end of the Sequel Trilogy, and it’s something they’re still asking even after it’s concluded. Both The Force Awakens and The Last Jedi left the backstory of the big, evil boss of the First Order vague, but The Rise of Skywalker pulled a major revelation out of its hat in a very throwaway manner in its opening scenes: Snoke was a clone puppet for the secretly still-alive Palpatine.
Ok, so Snoke is just a clone that Darth Sidious somehow controlled, but that doesn’t explain why he had several dead Snoke carcasses hanging around his lair on Exegol, or even why he created such a desiccated and clearly malformed puppet in the first place. ScreenRant has done some digging in the old Expanded Universe, however, and may have come up with an explanation that neatly fits with what we know.
In 1991’s Dark Empire comic series, it’s revealed that the Dark Side has a deleterious effect on clone bodies. This is explained fuller in the Jedi Vs. Sith handbook, which says: “because the clones are one step removed from the natural life process itself, they are much more vulnerable to the effects of the dark side, and age at an extremely accelerated rate.”
Though this does relate to the EU and so may no longer be canon, the Dark Side’s negative effects on clones does add up perfectly with both Snoke’s appearances and the excess Snokes Kylo Ren sees when he tracks down Palpatine. Exegol is a nexus of dark Force power, so it’s no wonder Snoke was so emaciated and clearly tricky to create. In fact, this also explains Palpatine’s own struggles with forming himself a healthy clone body.
Without the deterioration of both his own forms and the Snoke clones, Palpatine probably would’ve preferred to have had a bigger presence in the galaxy before the announcement of the Final Order. If we can take this theory as true, though, he was forced to keep to the shadows as both himself and Snoke as he tried – and failed – to perfect the cloning process.
Do you think this Star Wars theory holds water, though? Join the conversation in the comments section.

New Bill & Ted Face The Music Photos Introduce The Duo’s Daughters
Fans are gearing up for the release of Bill & Ted Face the Music, the much-anticipated third instalment in the Bill & Ted saga. The film has so far managed to avoid the worst of the coronavirus-inflicted disruption to the release schedule, with it still on track to premiere this August. Ahead of that, a batch of photos showcasing some of the new characters we’ll be meeting has been released online and in the gallery below we get a glimpse at Billie and Thea (played by Brigette Lundy-Paine and Samara Weaving).
As you’ll have gathered, Billie and Thea are Bill and Ted’s respective daughters. Also featured in the photos is a shot of director Dean Parisot and writer Ed Solomon on set, and a look at headline duo’s future selves, who’ve somehow found themselves locked up in prison (yes, that really is Keanu Reeves). Their past selves are going back to the future to steal a universe-saving song from themselves. Makes perfect sense, right?
The only uncertainty lingering over Face the Music is whether it manages a theatrical run or goes straight to streaming/on-demand as many other lower budget films have. With so much ongoing global strife, I’d treat its multiplex chances with caution. At the very least, it will get some kind of release – unlike blockbuster monsters like Tenet and Mulan, which now pose very expensive problems for the studios trying to make their money back. For more modest enterprises such as this, recouping costs shouldn’t be a problem.
If you’ve got any thoughts of your own on Bill & Ted Face the Music’s casting additions, leave them in the comments section below. Just over 5 weeks until we finally get to see the pic for ourselves.
