10 Biggest Star Wars What Ifs
5. What If Snoke Wasn't A Strandcast
Alongside who in the holy hell Rey was actually related to within this galaxy far, far away, easily the most common debate Sequel supporters found themselves wrapped up in centred around who or what Supreme Leader Snoke was.
In the end, the call was made to have the disfigured Force-user be little more than a strandcast forged by a resurrected Emperor Palpatine as a way of manipulating Kylo Ren and forging the First Order from across the galaxy.
And with that, the far more intriguing alternate theories such as Snoke being Darth Plagueis all along, a battered and lightning-savaged Mace Windu unexpectedly returning to the fold to torment Anakin Skywalker's grandson, or a returning Grand Inquisitor were all depressingly extinguished in one unwanted revelation.
If Snoke was far more than simply a pawn in The Emperor's games, there's every chance he could've collided with the bitter, revived old sod later down the road, too, making for no doubt one of the most spectacular showdowns ever to be unleashed on the galaxy.
