The sequel trilogy has something of a villain problem, but it must be said that Supreme Leader Snoke has one hell of a debut.

Shrouded in darkness, peering down at Kylo Ren and General Hux, his skull-like face and booming, sinister voice make him a force (pun not intended) to be reckoned with, kicking off the new trilogy in particularly stylish and intimidating fashion.

Later, in The Rise of Skywalker, there's an equally horror-influenced reveal when Palpatine comes back into the franchise. Though not the most liked moment for the majority of fans, the reveal is still very well done, with Kylo Ren confronting the Sith Lord surrounded by darkness and lightning, as Palpatine talks over him with his iconic and spine-tingling voice.

Though neither Snoke nor Palpatine really live up to the hype in the sequels, there's no denying their entrances are pretty damn cool - and fairly scary to boot.
