I think this is dead-on and awesome.

So, who is the bad guy? I will jot down an idea that will be both chastised and immediately written off. It isn’t something I consider a valid idea but it’s one of those things that just keep gnawing away at me. Having said that, I fell hook, line and sinker for the JarJar as the “true Sith Lord” Reddit.

Who is Snokes? He converted Ben Solo while he was being trained by Luke Skywalker. How could he have done that? He would have had to have been close.

He has definitely been “beaten up”. It looks like he has a scar across his face/eye and part of his ear resembles a rugby hooker. definitely been damaged in the face by something.

So in the final battle between Kylo Ren and Rey she reaches deep and bests him with the light saber. The first time I saw the movie I thought she had cut off his hand, like his uncle and his grandfather. The second time I realized it wasn’t his arm, it was his face that took the light saber blow, on the left side, across the ear and eye.

After the movie my son said, “we need to re-watch all the movies to see who has injuries like Snoke so we can figure out who he is.”

Who has injuries like Snoke? A light saber cut across the eye and ear? And this is where it all falls down — you can have Marty McFly in Star Wars — it just doesn’t work!

So I’ve got no clue but can’t wait till 2017!!!
