Jeez.

The Mary Sue thing is a complaint about the films quality and not to be taken literally in the versus forum.

No, it is a baseless word you pick and choose when to apply because you don't deal in facts just your silly justifications. You're a hypocrite we get it.

He is biased. It's blatantly obvious.

Kek.

My point was that you dismiss everything that shows us that Rey is on Kylo's level.

I said that Rey beating a injured Kylo is still a good feat for her, and your rebuttal basically was "MARY SUE!". I mean, I guess that she's a Mary Sue, but that isn't changing her powerlevel.

IOW if I don’t agree wih you it must mean I’m in denial. How about actually tacking my points instead of the baseless accusations.

Calm down that wasn’t a rebuttal to her feat. It was a piss take of how stupid that feat was.

It's obviously that Snoke is a Sidious-Valkorion rip-off, so much of an original character, Abrams. Or it is Disney's own cheap version of Valkorion.

Knights of Zakuul-Knights of Ren
Kylo Ren&Rey-Caedus-ish Revan&Meetra Surik
Snoke Not a Sith-Valkorion not a Sith
Snoke cut in half by Rey-Sidious cut in half by Luke
Snoke is scarred and deformed-Sidious is scarred and deformed
Snoke uses Force lightning-Sidious uses Force lightning
Snoke is old-Valkorion is old
Snoke is fond of both Force sides-Valkorion is fond of both Force sides

Last I checked, Byss is in the canon continuity of Star Wars, so does Malachor V.

It's obviously that they might set Snoke as the Disney version of the Emperor Reborn Palpatine in the Dark Empire comic books. I am sure this isn't the last time we heard of Snoke.

Funny part is that 'Snoke' in Norwegian means 'to rout'=a disorderly retreat of defeated troops

How are these ripping off the other characters? It's not like Dark Jedi aren't a thing, they don't have to be a Sith, Force Lighting isn't unique to Sidious and being old...well that's normal.

It is to Sidious in the movies.

You think?

Snoke is a Valkorion-Sidious rip-off. I am dazzled that the great Ant can't see through the lies of the Mice.

Palpatine? Maybe. But I assure you Disney didn't draw from SWTOR when crafting Snoke.

Snoke is nothing like Valkorion - and the small ways that they are similar is because Vitiate is a rip-off of Palpatine.

Yeah, watch the throne room scenes of both TLJ and ROTJ. You will notice that on a ridiculous amount of occasions Snoke uses the exact same language as Palpatine. Even getting Rey to observe the space battle etc.

I honestly thought Snoke had salvaged footage of the ROTJ Throne Room scene from the remains of the blown up Death Star, and watches it on repeat during his spare time.

Huh?

The VD explicitly notes that Snoke wanted Kylo because he believes only a Skywalker could destroy the last jedi. Kylo wasn't meant to "help" destroy Luke. He was meant to destroy Luke. Hell, Snoke initially thought that Luke was Kylo's counterpart on the light side. I think it's made pretty clear that Kylo has Luke-level potential, if not higher.


You can't worm around this. Ren's full potential is Luke level, not Vader level. So yes, I agree that if Ren reached Peak Luke + level, Snoke wouldn't be able to handle him.

Literally irrelevant. Snoke isn't peak Luke level, I agree.

Doesn't matter, given the guards are there, makes Snoke's "domination" of Kylo essentially a Non-Feat.

Kylo makes his move as soon as he has back up to take out those guards. If he can't defeat all those guards on his own, then how could you possibly expect him to challenge Snoke when Snoke is backed up by those guards, and those guards showed they will act the second Kylo makes his move?


The hell?

You're the one trying to assert that Snoke needs his guards to subdue Kylo. I'm saying that just because the guards instinctively come to Snoke's side, doesn't mean he needs them to subdue Kylo. :/

Even if they are, there's more to an apprentice than just Force Potential. Snoke clearly wasn't looking to follow the Rule of Two. He wanted Rey dead, and he would have betrayed Ren the second he didn't need him anymore, just as Han Solo explains to him in TFA.


Uhh, cool.

I shouldn't have bothered responding to the full post. Half of this shit is irrelevant. Rey is Kylo's counterpart, as he grows in power, so does she, hence why they're visibly equals. You'd have to be braindead to not see otherwise. That she has less training clearly doesn't matter, it seems, as she annihilated (an admittedly injured, broken) Kylo) without ever wielding a lightsaber.

2)Considering they fought different guards, that's too speculative. It's more then likely the most combat efficient guards went to face Kylo and vice versa.


In your next post, could you provide more solid evidence and less headcanon? Thanks.

Oh lord. :/

The calling didn't save her from Snoke, did it? laughing out loud

They stalemated. They're equals. Get over it.

4)I wouldn't say her TP "overwhelmed" Kylo in TFA. He read parts of her mind, but she resisted him reading the important stuff. In turn she read some of his mind, but it's not like he was expecting or resisting that.


Holy crap. smile

Rey, while literally having no training in the force, visibly overpowers Kylo's intrusions and in terms pinpoints and reveals his deepest fear. That is overwhelming. You're being braindead right now.

Oh Lucas himself would say Luke was only half trained and not on par with Vader yet.

No Rey hasn't proven herself Kylo's equal in every aspect. Not at all.


Telepathically? Yes. Telekinetically? Yes. Saber skill? Perhaps, not that it's relevant to Snoke's domination of Rey.

I mean, what are you actually suggesting here? That Rey doesn't need to read those Jedi books know she can use the force, or train in the slightest ever wield a lightsaber in her life, but that she's still going to magically be equal superior to Kylo in Episode 9 7?

Are you okay?

I literally never once mentioned the lightning attack as a feat for Snoke. What I DID mention as a feat for Snoke indicating vast superiority to Kylo is his domination of Rey and ability to casually perform a feat multiple times that would kill Kylo from the exertion of doing it. Rey and Kylo stalemate for the lightsaber, Snoke grabs it from Rey and smacks her on the head without any effort whatsoever. Give me a break.

Quan really has broken you, man. I never once mentioned putting Snoke on Palpatine's level. Not without more evidence.

Look, Kylo killed his Master as soon as he had back up to take on those guards. It's not that easy to take out your Master (even by surprise). If it was Palpatine wouldn't have survived having 3 different apprentices, and only finally get killed while distracted by 2 Skywalkers, and still take one of them out with him. Therefore it's logical to assume, that even to take out a Dark Side Master by surprise, the Apprentice must be already approaching their level of power.


This is the most irrelevant response I have ever seen. There is so much context here that I don't even know how to begin to respond to this. The evidence shows the following:


  • Snoke can casually perform a feat multiple times that would kill Kylo from the exertion.
  • Snoke can effortlessly rip the lightsaber from Rey's grip and steal whatever knowledge he wants from her, and ragdoll her, all casually.
  • The same Rey is holistically implied and empirically shown to be every bit as powerful as Kylo.


The guards are irrelevant to the argument at hand, as I never argued that Snoke's lightning attack proves vast superiority to Kylo (other stuff does).

I don't want any headcanon in your next post. Put up or shut up. smile
