Spoilers ahead for Star Wars: The Force Awakens!
There were hundreds of questions leading up to The Force Awakens. But for every one question the film answered, it seemingly spawned a whole band of new ones. One of the biggest enduring mysteries is what is up with Supreme Leader Snoke.
Very little was revealed about this character during production, and the finished product didn’t really answer who he actually is. All that’s known is that he runs the First Order, he wants Luke Skywalker removed from the picture, and he’s responsible for turning Ben Solo into Kylo Ren. He is probably a Sith Lord, and he casts a pretty menacing hologram, but is there more to his story? Here are the five most likely, and most serious theories (sorry Boba Fett theorists):
1. It’s a Wizard of Oz Situation
This is a pretty vague theory, but no less plausible than the rest. What if Snoke is just a projection meant to instill fear and cast an imposing shadow? And, if so, who is the man behind the curtain? Could it still be the Emperor, hurt and decrepit from his defeat in Jedi, unable to impose his own will? Is Darth Jar Jar real and in play here? Again, the details to this theory are vague, but the concept is solid: Snoke is merely a diversion while someone else is pulling the strings.
