Star Wars: The Last Jedi - 11 Major Details Revealed By Vanity Fair

2. Don't Expect To Get A Big Snoke Reveal

Along with the mystery of Rey's parentage and just how Maz Kanata got her hands on the blue lightsaber, one of the biggest questions leftover from The Force Awakens is the identity of Supreme Leader Snoke. Who exactly is he? What exactly is he? How long has he been around, and how much has he influenced things? Is he Darth Plagueis?

Although the last of those has been rubbished by Lucasfilm, the others remain highly pertinent. Not pertinent enough, though, to get any real answers in The Last Jedi, with David Kamp revealing during his AMA:

"I asked Rian Johnson about Snoke—Who/what is he?—and Rian was fairly up front in saying that Snoke is not a character he particularly gets into in TLJ. Hmmm."

It's an interesting answer, given how big the mystery surrounding him is. It appears this movie will be more centred around Luke, Rey, and Kylo Ren, with the bigger bad coming into the light more in the trilogy closer, much like what happened with Emperor Palpatine.
