The "Star Wars" Snoke- Darth Vader theory isn't the only theory making rounds.
When Snoke made his appearance in "Star Wars: The Force Awakens," fans were curious as to who this new and gigantic character actually is. While there wasn't a lot of information given in the movie, save for that he was the "master" of Kylo Ren, fans have begun to make-up their own speculations.
According to Moviepilot, "many fans have theorized that Snoke is actually one of the Sith lords, although all the evidence we have suggests Snoke is a totally new character, or at least, fairly new. The book 'Star Wars: Aftermath' was published shortly before 'Star Wars 7' came out, and it might have actually introduced Snoke in the guise of 'The Operator.'"
For those who are unfamiliar with the book, "The Operator" is reportedly an unnamed Imperial admiral. Clues are given in the book as the books main antagonist, Admiral Rae Sloane, reports directly to "The Operator."
A passage from the book gives a major clue that the "The Operator" could actually be Snoke.
It read, "The Empire became this...ugly, inelegant machine. Crude and inefficient. We need to be broken into pieces. We needed to get rid of those who want to see that old machine churning ineluctably forward. It's time for something better. Something new. An empire worthy of the galaxy it will rule."
While the "Star Wars" Snoke-Darth Vader theory may be tossed to the side for now, Den Of Geek reported that the book is a great read because of all the new and unknown things in the expanded universe.
"Star Wars" is an epic space saga directed and created by George Lucas and Lucasfilm before it got sold to Disney. The movie has become an iconic piece of pop culture that has more than seven movies in its successful commercial franchise. The films follow Anakin Skywalker's rise and fall.
