Mara Jade, for example, was just one of the agents Palpatine had at his disposal. It’s possible that Palpatine had acolytes he trained in the ways of the Dark Side, as they also existed in the old expanded universe. However, the Dark Side still (and always) remains… and there will always be people willing to use it.
The book emphasizes that Snoke has a major interest in the Skywalker family and was a major presence throughout the events of the previous films.Īs we speculated in the Knights of Ren article, the Sith line has seemingly died with Palpatine and Vader.Snoke knows Darth Vader is Luke’s father.Snoke finds Kylo Ren interesting because he is a fallen Jedi and thus has experience with the Light Side, something Snoke has never had in an apprentice before.Snoke tells Kylo Ren that he’s had apprentices before him.Apparently Snoke has been working behind the scenes in galactic events for a while, even during the reign of the Empire.In The Force Awakens novelization, quite a bit of information is revealed about Snoke that wasn’t in the film: The Force Awakens‘ X-Wings, for instance, are taken almost directly from that concept art. Still, it fits with the aesthetic of the rest of the film which has drawn heavily from concept artist Ralph McQuarrie’s work for the original trilogy. So, expect the picture above to perhaps be a basis for the character rather than a final look. We wouldn’t be surprised if Snoke was based on the original concept art for Emperor Palpatine in Return of the Jedi, then iterated on that as the character was refined on set and with the input of Serkis and several effects artists: “When we first started working on it, he had some rough notions of how Snoke was gonna look, but it really hadn’t been fully-formed and it almost came out of discussion and performance” However, the character is also reported dead in continuity and Serkis himself seems to confirm the character was created through collaboration than referencing older continuity: You could never have done it ”īoth the “damage” line and the description of him being tall lead credence to the going theory that Snoke is actually Darth Plagueis, a Munn who trained Palpatine only to have his apprentice electrocute him in his sleep. Without giving too much away at this point, he has a very distinctive, idiosyncratic bone structure and facial structure. And also just the facial design – you couldn’t have gotten there with prosthetics. “The scale of him, for instance, is one reason.
As I said, there is a strange vulnerability to him, which belies his true agenda, I suppose.” “Supreme Leader Snoke is quite an enigmatic character, and strangely vulnerable at the same time as being quite powerful. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Serkis discusses the physicality and personality of Snoke that could shed some light on the character: There’s also a rumor he’ll be a lizard-type creature, though at this point it’s unconfirmed. We know that he’ll be a performance capture character played by the wonderfully talented Andy Serkis and he obviously knows more about the Force than the average person. On the subject of Supreme Leader Snoke, Abrams says that Kylo Ren works under him and he “is a powerful figure on the Dark Side of the Force.” What do we know about Snoke thus far? That follows our speculations on the Knights of Ren very closely, which makes us happy. Well, first off he confirms something we already kinda knew: Kylo Ren is not a Sith… which means by extension the Knights of Ren are probably not a Sith affiliated organization.
We’ve added information from The Force Awakens novelization that sheds some light on Snoke and his role in the entire Star Wars saga. Abrams has given us a few morsels of information concerning the formation of the First Order, the Knights of Ren, and their mysterious figurehead Supreme Leader Snoke. In an interview with Empire magazine, The Force Awakens director J.J. Recently, we heard more about the Knights of Ren and speculated on their origins, but we still have a lot of to ponder. We suppose that’s the worth of a carefully crafted strategy executed by an expert marketing team, but it’s both amazing and a little frustrating. With every answer or piece of information we’ve gotten about The Force Awakens, a dozen questions take their place.
