12/16/2023 0 Comments Who was supreme commander snoke![]() We know from the films that Kylo still has that struggle, even after what happened to Han, and scripter Taylor nicely retcons that in here. He wants an angry blank slate that can be manipulated. This is another thing Snoke wants purged from Kylo’s soul, his family ties, his empathy with his parents. Ren first has to kill Luke, symbolic of his good side, which he does, egged on by Snoke reminding him Luke tried to murder him once (it’s a long story).He is then is confronted by phantoms of Han and Leia (his parents for those coming in late), who try to persuade him he is not Kylo Ren, but Ben Solo. The cave takes a person’s fears, their weaknesses, and tests them. Snoke takes Ren to Dagobah, where he makes him enter the cave Luke entered on his trials there. The book opens with Snoke training Kylo Ren, seemingly concerned that he has too much Skywalker in him, a weakness that needs to be purged if he is to embrace the dark side and surpass his hero, Darth Vader. We also know what ultimately happened to him, but this books focus is on an earlier time, when Snoke is on the ascendant, training a powerful new apprentice and preparing to crush the Republic. He is not a Sith, but is someone who can manipulate the Dark Side, and who took advantage of the anarchy that followed the fall of the Galactic Empire by helping form the First Order to destroy the fledgling New Republic. So, who is Snoke? what is Snoke? Is he a Sith? An intergalactic chancer who got lucky? (actually, I like that last option but doubt it’s the one). Finn, Poe Dameron, General Hux, Rey, Captain Phasma, and Rose Tico have all had their one-shots, and now it’s the turn of Supreme Leader Snoke. The Age of Resistance banner indicates this is part of the current mini-series ‘event’, which spotlights characters from the ‘sequels’ era of Star Wars. We are here to read and review a book featuring Supreme Leader Snoke who, a bit like Darth Maul and Captain Phasma, promised much but actually delivered little in terms of his movie appearances. ![]() In contrast, Time Warner seem to think so little of DC Comics they have taken away its publishing independence and plan to integrate it into the group essentially just to put out books that are glorified ads for movies and TV. I quite like this approach, corporate directed as it is, because it values the comic books enough to do this. Disney have an extensive movie and TV slate coming up (doesn’t The Mandalorian look fantastic), and seem to see Marvel’s books as another weapon in their armoury. Marvel, obviously directed by parent company Disney, are sure getting their money’s worth from Star Wars. Written by Tom Taylor | Art by Leonard Kirk, Cory Hamscher | Published by Marvel Comics
