Much like Rey's parentage, the true nature and identity of Supreme Leader Snoke is one of the biggest mysteries leftover from The Force Awakens. Serving as the Emperor Palpatine to Kylo Ren's Darth Vader, he exists largely in the shadows yet looms large over the current state of the galaxy.

Rian Johnson has stated that we don't get into Snoke too much in the movie, so we shouldn't go expecting too big a reveal on his identity. That means the theories of him being Darth Plagueis won't be going away anytime soon - despite repeated denials - nor the notion of him being some sort of major influencer over the course of history, even if he isn't Plagueis.

However, he should still have a big part to play without reveals. He's summoned Kylo Ren to finish his training, so is he going to make him a Sith? What does that mean for Snoke himself? And with Starkiller Base destroyed but the galaxy in chaos after the destruction of the New Republic, what will Snoke's new plan for galactic dominance be?
