NO SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE

FIVE SUPREME LEADER THEORIES REVEALED

Darth Plagueis

The king of Snoke theories. Palpatine tells Anakin the story of Darth Plagueis at the floaty bubble opera thing in Revenge Of The Sith. Steeped in the Force, Plagueis is a Muun — tall, thin, ancient-looking — not dissimilar to Snoke. AS SEEN ON: Looper.com

Mace Windu

Windu turned to the dark side in a vendetta to kill Anakin Skywalker’s offspring, Palpatine’s Force lightning altering his appearance. Why you’d get Andy Serkis rather than Samuel L. Jackson to performance-capture that is a mystery. AS SEEN ON: Inverse.com

Vaneé

Vaneé is Darth Vader’s cloaked aide who informs the Sith Lord of Krennic’s arrival in Rogue One. A supposed acolyte of Vader, the speculation posits that Vaneé vows to manipulate Vader’s grandson — Kylo Ren — to the dark side and explains how Ren is in possession of Vader’s mask.

Anakin’s Father

You’ll remember that Anakin Skywalker is the product of an immaculate conception. But one theory predicts that Snoke will be revealed as Anakin’s absentee father, giving The Last Jedi an Empire Strikes Back reveal. Cheatsheet.com

A New Character

Chuck Wendig’s Force Awakens prequel novel Aftermath suggested that post-jedi the last vestiges of the Empire fled to the Unknown Regions. Could they have met a non-humanoid called Snoke who shaped them into the First Order? Or maybe he’s just Mike Snoke from downtown Coruscant. AS SEEN ON: Screenrant.com
