![]() These days, what struck him was how much visions of the future left out.” Snoke had learned that lesson many years ago, when he was young and the galaxy was very different. Those who didn’t died regretting that they hadn’t. Whether Jedi, Sith, or some other sect less celebrated by history, all those who used the Force to explore possible timelines kept that uppermost in their minds. “Interpreting visions of the future was a dangerous game. ![]() There’s also a brief line in The Last Jedi novelization (by Jason Fry) that also seems to suggest that Snoke has been around for a while (emphasis mine): That means that he was at least around before the end of the Clone Wars, and probably at least old enough to see what was going on. But as long as Snoke is being honest (and there’s no reason to think otherwise at the moment), he was around before the Empire rose to power. The key part of that extended quote is the first sentence: Snoke tells Kylo Ren that he watched the Empire rise and fall, which is the basis for his assessment of the cause of the Empire’s fall. And there would be no threat of Skywalker’s return today.” Had Lord Vader not succumbed to emotion at the crucial moment – had the father killed the son – the Empire would have prevailed. A momentary lapse in an otherwise exemplary life. It was neither poor strategy nor arrogance that brought down the Empire. As if such things were solid and real instead of simple subjective judgments. The gullible prattle on about the triumph of truth and justice, of individualism and free will. “Kylo Ren, I watched the Galactic Empire rise, and then fall. Consider this quote from The Force Awakens novelization (by Alan Dean Foster), of Snoke dialoging with Kylo Ren (emphasis mine): Namely, Snoke was around to observe the Empire rising and falling. Firstly, it seems that though he is a new character to audiences, he’s been around a while. Not much at all is known about the origins of Snoke, but we do have a few tidbits that are important. Hopefully this proves to be informative and helpful! Even still, though, we’ve found out quite a bit of background information about him already, and certainly enough to understand the character in the films.įor the time being, though, I’ve gathered together everything we’ve learned about Supreme Leader Snoke so far. But in the end, Rian Johnson rightly wasn’t interested in answering all of our questions about the mysterious Snoke… as instead, he killed him – and that was absolutely for the best.īut since this is Star Wars, I’m fully expecting that more of Snoke’s backstory will be fleshed out in the coming years in various media, so I do think we’ll be learning more about him as we move on (including an issue in the Age of Resistance comic coming later this year!). I put together my own theory of Snoke, speculating based on evidence that he was a new character who had been around for a while in the Unknown Regions. People had all sorts of theories, from the idea that he was Darth Plagueis to the idea that he was Palpatine reincarnate to other more reasonable hypotheses. General Hux looks to Snoke for direction as well, so clearly he is the one ultimately responsible for the Stormtrooper army that the First Order has bred.After The Force Awakens, one of the primary questions that Star Wars fans had was this: who is Supreme Leader Snoke? The First Order may have Kylo Ren as their secret weapon but it is first and foremost a military organization. Next, the man obviously has military experience as well, which is connected to the old Empire. The kind he would have received while escaping the destruction of the Death Star. He’s got serious scars, as well as potentially burns that have healed as well as could be expected. Supreme Leader Snoke is an old man, who has obviously been seriously injured by some previous event. The theory is a bit out of left field, but then those are our favorites. He also worked very closely with Vader, potentially giving him unique insight to use against Kylo Ren. He was the military leader of the Empire, even giving Darth Vader orders in the first film. The theory, presented by ScreenRant, puts forth the idea that if Tarkin was able to survive the destruction of the first Death Star, and we don’t know he died there, that he has all the skills and knowledge that Supreme Leader Snoke apparently has. Ok, he’s probably not, but it’s an interesting theory. ![]() The theory is that Supreme Leader Snoke is Grand Moff Tarkin.
