A lot of mysteries surrounds Supreme Leader Snoke's (Andy Serkis) true identity. As nothing is known yet about the First Order’s leader, fans are hoping to see his backstory in “Star Wars: The Last Jedi.”
However, the film’s director Rian Johnson revealed that they wouldn't be investing in telling too much of his story. Fortunately, in “Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know” book by DK, new details about the mysterious antagonist are revealed.
Snoke’s disturbing powers
An excerpt from “Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know” revealed that Supreme Leader Snoke has many dangerous abilities.
This includes telepathy, Force chokes, and throws. This just proves that “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” villain is indeed Force-sensitive. This, too, can be proven by the training he gives Kylo Ren (Adam Driver). The novel also touched the big bad’s introduction in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.”
"There has been an awakening," a line from the book read. To recall, while Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo were in a battle, the initial heard a voice in her head, suggesting her to kill her opponent. With Snoke’s telepathy power, there's a big possibility that he was the one urging Rey to kill Kylo. He might be trying to lure her to turn to the Dark Side after learning his apprentice’s weakness.
The book also revealed that Snoke has eight Praetorian guards.
His sentinels are also confirmed to be humans, after being rumored as aliens or androids. They, too, will be seen in the coming “Episode 8.”
Luke’s self-imposed exile and dinner
Aside from Supreme Leader Snoke, “Star Wars: Absolutely Everything You Need to Know” also tackled things about Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill).
The book noted that Luke has been on Ahch-To for so “many years.” He has been living in what nature could offer while he decided to go on self-imposed exile.
Allegedly, he is having Porgs for dinner, but the 66-year-old master Jedi actor denied the claim on his Twitter page. “Please be advised: #Porgs are not on any #AhchToMenu,” he tweeted. He also explained that Luke had gone vegetarian since his aunt Beru served him Womp Rat Brisket in “Star Wars: A New Hope.”
It also cited that Luke is on Ahch-To to find the first Jedi temple.
On the other hand, Rey went to the island to try bringing him back to the Resistance. “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” new trailer is expected to be revealed on Oct. 9, as hinted by Hamill himself. The film is set to hit the theaters on Dec. 15 in the U.S.
