So Iāve seen this on 9gag (Props to the OP!) and obviously the scar on Anakinās head and cheek and the general deformation of the helmet match with Snokeās apperiance!
Yeah, weāve all seen poor Annikins die and get cremated, but hear me out!
Weāve of course met Anakinās force ghost aka everything still good inside him, but what happened to the rest of him?
Easy: Everything Evil and Dark within Darth Vader came back as a Sith Spirit called Snoke!
Yeah, I know this sounds extremly far fetched, but thereās a lot of evidence suggesting just that! (I actually did like ā¦research on this! A lot of research!)
According to this forum Sith cannot become force ghosts. And while overthere that fact is used as argument against a ādarth vader force ghostsā, this is my first point of āwait thereās gotta be more hereā.
If Sith cannot come back as force ghosts then how did Anakin come back?
I mean, he did chose the light side of the force in the end, but did that immediatly erase the truckload of murder, mayhem and general monstrosity and evil within him?
Being at least partly Sith Anakin shouldāve not been able to become a force ghost. Thatās a fact, guys.
So what happened? I you ask humble me, āAnakinā, the Jedi, was seperated from Darth Vader enabling him to go all blue and floaty.
So, cool, you might say, but how does that connect the rest of Vader to Snoke? Sith canāt become force ghosts, duh?!
Not so fast, my padawans!
Jup. Being only pure evil aka āmalice and hatredā the rest of Vader wouldnāt have had any problems with that, eh?
But wait! Thereās more!
According to one really long-ass post on comicvine Sith Spirits are bound to a anchor in the world of the living that keeps them alive and feeds them energy that they need to sustain themselves. But this also significantly limits their mobility.
Sounds familiar? Yeah, Snoke, or should I call you Vader, you aināt tricking noone with your holograms and stuff!
Furthermore while Force Ghosts can only be seen by force-sensitive people as they are basically just a bunch of midiclorians, Sith Spirits have no connections to those tiny force-mosquitos anymore and draw their energy from their physical anchors like Sith Temples or Amulets.
So technically even our favourite Ginger General should be able to see these manifestations of evil! (And he is of course able to see Snoke!)
This is where my personal theory about Kylo comes in. (Itās rather vague but hey..)
Kylo Ren behaves in pattern.
Luke must have told him the story about Vader choosing the light side, but thats nothing against Vader himself proving Skywalker wrong!
His devotion being more obvious to Darth Vader and not to Snoke?
Heās identifying more with the past version of his idol, his grandfather, Snoke, because like in himself there was still Light in Vader back then!
āI will finish what you started.ā He will erase the light inside him like Vader did and become a creature of pure darkness.
I mean, itās not like Snoke is likely to tell him the whole story with Anakinās Force Ghost, right?
JJ Abrams is suggesting it, The Lore fits it and even Kylo Ren knows whatās up.
