The movie Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker revealed where Supreme Leader Snoke came from. Actor Andy Serkis now tells during an interview that he did not know very much about it until he saw the film himself.
The actor played the role of Snoke in two films, and he was not seen in the third. Then we learned that Snoke was made by Palpatine.
Hardly known
“It was really kept very secret,” said Serkis. “Really bad. I only had a hint, but it was not confirmed.”
Snoke initially appeared as a hologram in the franchise that spoke to Kylo Ren and Hux and was the Supreme Leader boss of the First Order. He was very mysterious, leading fans to speculate endlessly about his origins. The film after that, Snoke was killed in a pretty uncermonial way.
In The Rise of Skywalker , we learned that Snoke was nothing more than a clone created by Palpatine. That was quite different from the many stories fans had made up about the great villain.
