Supreme Leader Snoke

Warning: Spoilers may follow.

Supreme Leader Snoke, the Supreme Leader, or simply just Snoke, is the principal villain in the sequel trilogy of Star Wars. In Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, he is the secondary antagonist. He will return in Star Wars Episode VIII. He is Kylo Ren's master and the supreme leader of the First Order, aka the Galactic Empire, plotting with General Hux to use Kylo Ren as a weapon.

He is portrayed by Andy Serkis, who also voiced Gollum in the Middle-earth saga.

Information
He is the supreme leader of the First Order, which rose from the ashes of the Galactic Empire. He is an ally of General Hux, and Kylo Ren's master.

Background
Snoke is a male individual who served as Kylo Ren's master approximately thirty years after the Battle of Endor. In the movie, Snoke even said that he "watched the rise and fall of the Galactic Empire." This would mean that he was alive before the Battle of Endor and possibly even the prequel trilogy.

Speech about BB-8
Supreme Leader Snoke first appears in the hologram room, speaking to Kylo Ren and General Hux about the rise of Luke Skywalker being an issue. Snoke says that the droid (BB-8) will be delivered to the Resistance, which would lead them to the last Jedi (Luke Skywalker). General Hux speaks to Snoke, and claims full responsibility for risk. Snoke yells at him, and says that the First Order's strategy needs to now be changed. Hux intends to destroy the Republic, therefor telling Snoke that Starkiller Base is ready for use. He convinces Snoke that the Republic support the Resistance. Hux tells Snoke that without The Republic's protections, the Resistance will become vulnerable, and the First Order would destroy the Resistance before they reach Skywalker. Snoke then tells Hux to leave and therefor accomplish his plans, and oversee the preparations of the Starkiller. Hux accepts Snoke's word, and leaves the hologram room. Snoke then speaks to Kylo Ren. He tells him that there was an awakening, and then asks him if he felt it. Kylo responds that he did. Snoke tells him that there's something more, that BB-8 is aboard the Millenium Falcon, which is now owned by Han Solo. Kylo tells Snoke that Han means nothing to him. Snoke then responds that even Kylo never faced such a task, thus he (Snoke) tasked Kylo Ren in a sarcastic way that his father should be assasinated for Hux. Kylo then says that by the grace of his training, he will not be resistant. Snoke then sarcasticly says to him "we shall see", twice before his hologram disappears.

Starkiller Base Collapses
Snoke then yells at Ren for protecting Rey from his dark hands. Kylo Ren tries to protect her by telling Snoke that he is trained much stronger than she knows. However, Hux interfeirs, telling him that Kylo Ren had reported to him that the droid isn't any use, and that the girl is all they needed. He added that as a result Kylo Ren betrayed the First Order, and that the droid has been returned to the Millenium System. Snoke then asked if the Resistance will be destroyed early enough. Hux replied that he has tracked the location of the Millenium System. Snoke was proud of Hux, telling him that the Resistance will be crushed, and happily accepting his preperations for the Starkiller Base and it's massive weapon. Near the end of the film, Starkiller Base's thermal oscillator has been destroyed. Hux runs into the hologram room and tells Snoke that the fuel cells have ruptured, and the collapse of Starkiller Base has begun. Snoke then orders Hux to leave the base immediately and come to his physical form with Kylo Ren, because it's time for Kylo to complete his training. After that, Hux lost acess to Kylo Ren's military use.

Appearance
Snoke is a pale humanoid alien with blue eyes. He wears a long, black robe, and has major scars and burns on his face.

Personality
Evil and destructive, as he accepts every of Hux's plans. He is also manipulative towards Kylo Ren, as he uses his power for mass destruction. He seemed to trust Hux (in a very dark way), as he accepted every single word of his, until he failed.

Trivia

 * So far, Snoke is the most mysterious character in the Star Wars universe.


 * Many Star Wars fans have theorized that Supreme Leader Snoke is, indeed, Darth Plagueis, Emperor Palpatine's master. This is probably the most popular theory on who Snoke really is. However, there are 3 major flaws in this theory:
 * Andy Serkis, Snoke's actor, said that Snoke is a humanoid, and Plagueis is a Muun. Humanoids and Muuns are two separate species of aliens.
 * Palpatine taught Anakin that his master, Plagueis, had the ability to create life and even save others from death. This was just a lie that he used to lure Anakin to the Dark Side, so since Plagueis could not create life or save others from dying, there's no way Plagueis could have saved himself from death, either.
 * The filmmakers didn't even know who Plagueis was while designing Snoke.
 * Andy Serkis has recently stated that Snoke is "just Snoke."
 * Due to these major flaws, this theory was proven false, and there's no way Snoke could be Plagueis. Not a chance.
 * Many people also say that Snoke is the following:
 * Grand Moff Tarkin
 * Darth Vader
 * Emperor Palpatine
 * Darth Maul
 * The Grand Inquisitor (the most accurate Snoke theory so far)
 * Grand Admiral Thrawn
 * Boba Fett
 * Kylo Ren from the future, trying to teach his younger self
 * Ezra Bridger
 * Jar-Jar Binks
 * General Leia Organa, which is completely ridiculous
 * He is set to return as one of the main villains in Star Wars Episode VIII. Other returning villains will be General Hux, Kylo Ren, and Phasma.
 * He is the secondary antagonist of The Force Awakens, due to his manipulation and agression on Kylo Ren, and his leadership on The First Order.
