The Force KILLED Luke. Not my words, Mark Hamill himself said it on Twitter. But here’s
the plot twist: Snoke used The Force to KILL Luke. Not only that, Snoke
destroyed everything Luke cared about: his life’s work, his school, and then
killed Luke without anyone ever noticing audience -- included how didn't we notice

Contest ends December 1st. Now to today’s video... I want everyone to watch
this scene very carefully as it contains proof Snoke killed Luke.
Notice how Luke directly looks at Kylo. It was almost as if Kylo was physically
there. But how did he Force Project? We’ll touch on that a bit later in today’s
video. But before we do, we first have to understand the difference between
Force Bonding and Force Projection
When I first watched this scene, I thought they were simply Force Bonding. But...that’s not the entire story.
A few key details tell me it’s actually a mix of both: Force Bonding and Force
Projection. Let me explain. A Force Bond is a private connection between two
people that allows them to communicate with each other remotely -- without any
type of physical contact. For example, Luke and Leia’s Force Bond is
a perfect example.
However, Rey and Kylo’s Force Bond crossed the line when they were able to touch
hands and become visible to a third party observer, in this case, Luke.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
What’s the only ability that allows the user to physically interact with their
surroundings? Force Projection. How do we know? Whenever Luke Force Projected, he
physically handed Leia, Han’s dice and even kissed Leia on the
head. At the same time, he was visible by all third party observers. That’s Force
Projection. And Rian Johnson even confirms it:
When Luke shows up he’s projecting, it’s like a hardcore variation of what Kylo and Rey have been doing the whole time and that’s why it takes so much out of him
So, if Kylo really did Force Project, how did he do it? Snoke. As Snoke bridged their
minds, he also created the Force Projection phenomenon with his immense power.
But...how did Snoke even know about Luke’s plan to join Rey on the Millenium
Falcon? It started way back on Luke’s quest for something very special...
The Journey For Secret Jedi Knowledge
After the empire’s defeat, Luke scoured the entire galaxy looking for any surviving Jedi Knowledge.
He had help. Do you remember the old dude in The Force Awakens’s first scene?
He ain’t some random dude fishing for some pocket change — he’s actually important.
That’s Lor San Tekka and he actually helped Luke find the ‘motherload’
of all Jedi knowledge: Preserved Jedi Archives. Do you know who preserved it?
The Chief Librarian in Episode 2
Jocasta Nu.
Turns she survived the Jedi Purge like a boss
and wanted to train the next generation of Jedi. But frankly, she was killed by
Vader before she could ever build it. Luckily, Luke found all her research.
And it was on this very journey that Snoke and Luke actually met to discuss the secrets of the Force.
It was this meeting where Luke’s life took a steep nosedive...
Luke and Snoke’s Mysterious Meeting
Nobody knew about Luke’s school or mission except those in the order and R2-D2.
Who told Snoke about it? Luke probably did. In the official Last Jedi Novel,
they mention how Luke and Snoke met to discuss Jedi lore or Luke’s findings. Since the First Order hasn’t risen yet,
he probably mistook Snoke as a fellow Jedi. Big mistake. The conversation gave Snoke
some very crucial intel on Luke’s precious plan to rebuild the Jedi Order.
And that’s when Snoke decided to form a plan of his own...
Snoke's Plan
At a very young age, Ben — or Kylo Ren — was responsible for mischief.
Han and Leia sensed too much ‘Vader’ in him and hoped
Luke’s training would solve the problem.
It didn't.
Snoke sensed Ben’s natural tendency towards the dark side -- all Snoke had to do was find a weakness...
and he quickly found one by researching
Ben’s family tree and found a secret: Ben is Darth Vader’s grandson.
We’re not sure how Kylo found out, but when he did, he lost trust in Luke and the Jedi.
He soon needed a different teacher. So, Snoke positioned himself as the answer.
Kylo’s conflicted soul took the bait, and by the time Luke sensed the darkness
and tried to stop it -- it was too late, Kylo already turned. Luke's life's work
was destroyed in an instant: his apprentices, the Jedi archives, dreams, school, and Luke’s soul.
But it wasn’t Kylo who broke Luke, it was Snoke.
Snoked BROKE and KILLED Luke.
How would you feel if someone destroyed your life’s work in an instant? You’d probably break and Luke’s no exception.
It was all part of Snoke’s plan to undermine the balance of the galaxy.
Who turned Kylo to the Dark Side?
Who bridged Rey’s and Kylo’s minds?
Who gave Luke the idea to Force Project?
Snoke, Snoke, Snoke. Snoke single-handedly broke Luke: But why?
Snoke couldn’t afford any competition. Luke was the last hurdle in his way of galactic conquest and he needed him dead.
And everything was fine until...
The Force Awakened.
After Snoke destroyed everything Luke built, Luke closed himself off from The Force as an act of Jedi pacifism
Snoke was content until Rey awakened The Force and found Luke.
He became scared. Luke’s the only one, as far as we know, that has the knowledge to create another Jedi
a Jedi that can undermine Snoke’s grand plan. He had to act quick.
He bridged Kylo and Rey’s minds, as a way to deter Luke from finding Snoke because let’s be honest, we all know what would’ve happened.
Some real nice a** kicking
And that’s exactly what would’ve happened until Luke
discovered Kylo and Rey having ‘unprotected sex’ -- or at least he acts like they did
and decides to stay.
But in that scene, Snoke deceptively left Luke a suicidal idea: Force Projection.
Luke took the idea and used it to save the Resistance, leading to as Mark Hamill described, the Force -- or Snoke -- KILLING Luke.
But wait...How could the Force KILL you -- isn’t the Force good? It definitely is but it’s the way Luke used the Force that killed him.
For example, let’s say you’ve been working out for a few years. Then you take a break for a while.
Would you be able to lift what the younger, stronger version of you could?
Definitely not.
You’d have to slowly work your way up and that’s exactly what Luke didn’t do. Instead, he decided to walk into Golds Gym
after a few years off and tried to lift the heaviest weights, Arnold-Style, without any prior training.
The result? Luke’s death.
And that’s what so clever about Snoke’s deceptive move: he killed Luke indirectly without anyone noticing -- including the audience.
Crazy, huh?
