I mean early season he possesses Julian talks with Team Flash about everything that will happen and how he has lived it already...... but isn't that same "entity" what crawls out of the speed force having been trapped by Barry in the future. So Savitar has already experienced everything that has/will occur, but still will end up getting trapped in, and escaping into the past again?

Follow up question - Is Savitar's very existence him being locked in the speed force, only to escape and be recaptured time and again? Thus the worst "moment" he knows is the escape/capture loop? No man. What it seems to be based on the info we've received is that sometime in the distant futuree, someone finds the Philosopher's Stone and becomes Savitar. The Flash eventually fights and defeats Savitar, and locks him in the Speed Force, and presumably the Stone is hidden in the past. Julian finds it, and due to Savitar's connection to it, uses it to control Julian as Alchemy and his antics of jumping in and out of the Speed Force in the earlier parts of the season. Skip ahead to when Wally throws the last piece of the stone into the Speed Force, Savitar is free and begins to wreak havoc now that he's there in physical form, and at some point, he will be eternally locked in the Speed Force for good, unless time is changed. His name and true origins we still don't know, but that seems to be what it is.
