The death of Supreme Leader Snoke is both a huge plot twist and a point of contention amongst fans, with many unhappy that so much of his backstory was left out of the movies. J.J. Abrams though, as the creator of the character, could be about to bring him back, or at least give us some more answers about him.

A number of rumours about Snoke's return have circulated since The Last Jedi's release, with speculation that he could come back as a Force Ghost, but the most recent is courtesy of YouTuber Mike Zeroh, who references storyboards that show Snoke with a younger Kylo Ren:

"Now a similar new description of storyboards involves Supreme Leader Snoke and a black-shaded figure I believe to be Kylo Ren. That figure is holding a lightsaber in front of Snoke except the lightsaber is not complete. I think a big element in this movie will be this detailed storytelling of Kylo Ren’s past on his path to becoming who he is in the sequel trilogy.”

There's plenty of Snoke's past and his relationship with Kylo Ren that we haven't seen, although we have had all we needed for the story to make full sense on screen. Still, it wouldn't be beyond Abrams to revisit the character in some capacity.

Likelihood: 5/10
