Snoke didn't get murdered, he sacrificed himself.

 (SPOILER WARNING)

Do you remember the scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi when Snoke is giving a speech about betrayal? He says and I quote. "You think you can turn him, pathetic child. I cannot be betrayed. I cannot be beaten. I see his mind, I see his every intent. Yes I see him "Turning" the lightsaber to strike true. And now foolish child, he ignites it and kills his true enemy.

Also think back to Kylo Ren looking at Rey and saying "I know what I have to do", again the words "I Know What I have to Do". This to me suggests that the ultimate plan for Snoke was to kill himself so that he may become one with the Force, however it is my belief that he has convinced Kylo to kill him on the premise that by killing Snoke, it would make Kylo Ren more powerful when in fact it would make Snoke more powerful. I felt that there was something off about that whole scene. Snoke is by no means a fool and a Master of Mind abilities. This is why he says he cannot be betrayed because he has planned for this moment, this isn't sheer dumb blink luck that Kylo pulls this trick off.

In the words of Jedi Master Obi-Wan Kenobi via "A New Hope" he says to Vader. "If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine. This I think is in fact Snoke's plan, to become more powerful than we could possibly imagine.

This I think is why during the climax of the Film we also see Luke Skywalker make his ultimate sacrifice, he knows Snoke is now one with the Force and it is my belief that he thinks Snoke will try to unite the old spirits of the Sith to try and form a powerful dark army of spirits. Luke is literally killing himself to try and stop Snoke in the after life.

The Last Jedi: From a certain point of View

First I would like to say before viewing The Last Jedi I did have expectations but I let them go in order to view the film in an unbiased way. From a aesthetic view of the film I can't lie I was a little let down by the movie, I felt it lacked scope and it felt kind of bland in color, however in story and character development I have to say I love the direction that Disney/Lucasfilm is taking the Star Wars Universe. I hear people now complain about The Last Jedi being a Edgy-Socio commentary and with this I have one thing to say. In the words of Master Yoda in TLJ. "We are what they grow beyond, that is the burden of all masters."  To me this sums up the new film and the direction that the future films are going. Disney and Lucasfilm know that somewhere along the lines that Star Wars has to evolve to fit with modern day philosophical thought to stay relevant and not to keep rehashing the past. It is safe to say I believe that the days of Death Stars and Death St

Fear can be a powerful ally.

Article by Therrien Xavier. When we look into the mystery that we call the Force, one of our most damning blockages is fear, fear of the unknown and the unexpected. But what if we could use fear to our own advantage? What if fear isn't something to really fear at all? From a very narrow and dogmatic Jedi point of view fear is the path to the dark side, fear leads hate and hate leads to suffering. But this isn't about Jedi or Sith no we are moving on, ever flowing with the Force. I tell you now that fear can be one of your most powerful allies and you can use fear to manifest things in life that you never thought were possible. Through the Force we seek to help others and that is fine and dandy but there comes a time when we need to help ourselves, the dogmatic view in Jedi Philosophy is that a Jedi is to be selfless and that is simply (Not Healthy) both mentally, physically, & spiritually sometimes we have to a little selfish. Have you ever had a time where you sat

The Philosophies of Master Bruce Lee

Article by Therrien Xavier. Let me say first and foremost that I am "Not" a martial artist. But not being a martial artist does not mean that there is nothing to gain from Master Bruce. Bruce Lee's Philosophy of Non-Form makes up the basic outline of my own personal philosophy. I do not settle on one set idea or belief as there is always room for improvement whether that be physical, mental or spiritual we can improve ourselves by remaining in a constant state of change and adaptability. Bruce's philosophies are some of the most profound philosophies that we can apply in our everyday lives to grow past the boundaries of who we are by using no way as a way and no limitation as limitation meaning that our limitations are what we make of them. Master Bruce also believed in being one's self and to always express yourself and always have faith in yourself. He began at starting at the root of who we are and asking ourselves "How can I be me?" I thi
