Ah.
Gotcha. I thought you had maybe read TLJ script and/or seen a cut. |

The only thing that bums me out about Episode VIII is that they're not going to explore Snoke's past or identity. Rian Johnson has basically said he's like The Emperor in the OT and that the Prequels explained his origins.
I don't know if that means they'll have another trilogy between ROTJ and TFA, although I doubt it. Maybe some standalone stories but I think it's kind of a cop out not to tell us where he came from and how he rose to power. It would only take a few sentences of dialog. |

In the scene in VII where Hux and Kylo are speaking to Snoke, there comes a part where Snoke becomes angry at Hux and yells at him. Almost immediately he reigns his anger in and tells him to oversee preparations to fire the weapon. At the end of the books, a very young Hux and his father leave with Rax to go in search of Palpatine's ship the Eclipse in the Unknown Regions. They find it, and all the secrets it holds after Palpatine sent it in search of the source of the dark side (plus, the Unknown Regions are really the only place a ship the size of the Supremacy could be built undetected, imo). When Snoke speaks to Hux after losing his temper, it's almost in a fatherly type of tone, like he's been an authority figure over him for some time (floating around in the Unkown Regions rebuilding the war machine destroyed by the Rebel Alliance). Just my opinion, and I'm sure Clay will blow it up, lol. |

You know, I knew that. I got all swept up in thinking I had solved Snoke.
I'll have to go see who traveled out to the Unknown Regions with young Hux again. |

Just read the epilogue to Empire's Endagain. No real clues there. Grand Admiral Rae Sloane made the months long journey through the Unknown Regions to find the Eclipse, and the only people she traveled with were General Brendol Hux, his son Armitage (who we know as General Hux now), and a bunch of wild young people Hux is training. No mention of who or what they find on the ship.
And I was certain it was in there, too. Oh well. |

I think it's pretty obvious Snoke is what they found in the Unknown region.
I haven't read the last two books of Aftermath btw. I'm too busy dating and not ****ing. |
