Fans can now finally see the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke in full glory as Topps Star Wars Card Trader released a new card featuring “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” villain. This is the first time that the First Order’s leader is seen clearly in a snap originally from the movie.
“Star Wars” enthusiasts often see the Force-sensitive humanoid alien’s image in toy form, especially at the recent Force Friday II. Now, they get a clearer view of the antagonist’s face with this trading card.
Snoke’s real image
In the card, Supreme Leader Snoke’s huge scar is now evidently seen.
It is a like deep cut that runs in a curve from the top of his head to his forehead.
He seems to be angry, carrying a mean look while his cheeks are both hollow.
This new image is similar to the previous pictures of what said to be his real face from the different set of toys. However, this snap gives a clearer view how human he looks. To recall, Pablo Hidalgo from Lucasfilm’s Story Group revealed in May that Snoke is a “humanoid, but not human” in a tweet. And this perfectly described the “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” antagonist’s look. See the snap below.

Snoke’s participation in the movie
Supreme Leader Snoke is said to have a bigger role in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi,” although he will not be the movie’s main villain.
In an interview with Empire Magazine, the film’s director Rian Johnson revealed that Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) would be the First Order story’s main focus.
In fact, he even likened Snoke’s participation in the upcoming eighth installment to Emperor Palpatine in the original trilogy. “He's a dark force: the scary thing behind the thing,” he said.
He admitted that it was how he approached the villain’s character in the sequel trilogy.
Unfortunately, fans will never see the antagonist’s backstory as Johnson confirmed that it doesn’t interest him to narrate where he actually came from. “Except where it serves this story,” he said.
Kylo Ren’s Hot Toy figure
Talking about Kylo Ren, a new Hot Toy figure based on Adam Driver’s character from “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” was revealed at the recent Force Friday.
He will be part of the collection called 1/6th Scale Executioner Trooper.
The new toy carries a more developed head sculpt complete with his signature scar. It also has a more elegant costume with seven interchangeable hands and, of course, a light-up LED lightsaber. The toy can be now pre-ordered and expected to be released in the second or third quarter of 2018, Comic Book reported.
