Snoke was constantly changing during the making of the Star Wars trilogy.

When Supreme Leader Snoke debuted in “Star Wars: The Force Awakens,” the character was so mysterious that it gave rise to many theories about his true identity. Therefore, fans were disappointed to learn that this was just a clone puppet of Palpatine.

Snoke, played by Andy Serkis, appeared only as a hologram in the seventh episode. In Star Wars: The Last Jedi, he appeared in the flesh, but was defeated in the finale. In “The Rise of Skywalker.” Rising" it was revealed that he was a genetic construct created by Palpatine.

On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, Serkis was asked if JJ Abrams told him that Snoke would be the main villain throughout the sequel trilogy. He admitted that he “doesn’t really remember”:

With Snoke, everything is in a fog. Snoke is a character that was a huge challenge because he kind of evolved throughout the script. I think in the first movie it was still unclear where he was and what he actually represented.

The 50 Greatest Star Wars Characters of All Time

The Star Wars galaxy is populated by legendary characters from an entire constellation. Noble Jedi heroes, smooth-talking smugglers, out-and-out villains, interstellar princesses and everything in between inhabit George Lucas's space opera, bringing its tales of good and evil to life. Across the nine films of the Skywalker Saga and the many stories spanning the vast Star Wars timeline (which will soon include The Mandalorian and Grogu), there are characters who define archetypes and others who defy them, some of them gloriously sublime or surprisingly human, even if they're bright green or made of metal. Beep-boop!

Star Wars films, rating

On Star Wars Day, May 4, the final rating of gaming incarnations of the space fantasy franchise, about which no one on the Internet has a clear opinion, will be compiled.

May the Fourth has always seemed like a particularly fake corporate holiday because Star Wars Day is like the conspicuously absent Children's Day: isn't it every day? Do we really need a day to pay tribute to a space fantasy franchise that accounts for 12% of the top 50 grossing films in North America, including its current number one spot, which looks set to remain unchallenged for several years to come?

Star Wars Day: Fans watched 33 billion minutes of the franchise in 2025
