Snoke has to be somebody we have already met, if not, then how did he become the Supreme Leader so quickly. Vader? Palpatine? Either one would be sweet, but a little hokey. Some sort of Dark Side magic that merged The Emperor into Tarkin's body would be my pick if I was writing it.
"Forgive me. I feel it again. The pull to the light. Supreme Leader senses it. Show me again. The power of the darkness. And I will let nothing stand in our way. Show me Grandfather, and I will finish what you started."
Snoke can't really be Vader because he is talking to Vader about Snoke. Did Vader come to Kylo in spirit form, like Obi-Wan to Luke?
If Palpatine/Emperor is Snoke, this speech makes sense in 2 or 3 possible ways. 1. Kylo is trying to carry on Vader's legacy as a badass mean motherfucker. (Though, that's really the Emperor's game, Vader was more the goon than boss in that relationship.) 2. Vader had a secret plans and was trying to overtake The Emperor as the most badass mean motherfucker in the galaxy, and has now (in spirit form?) conscripted Kylo as his successor. 3. Vader (in spirit form?) has enlisted Kylo in a plot to destroy the Emperor once and for all using the Dark Side as a tool, and Kylo will finish what Vader started when Luke turned him back to the light.
Snoke is the key. Whoever he is that information is every bit as big as who Rey's parents are.

i thought there was a scene in the prequels where yoda talks about how there are always 2 sith lords?

Yeah, she seemed like she could barely move her mouth. There is a huge standard difference in the way men and women are viewed by the industry as they age. She held up better than Ford, but he looks rugged and manly so he gets a pass...women don't get that pass, it's a shame.
Yoda does say that, I always thought it was a poor choice of wording. "At least" should have come first. Then there can be a whole team of Sith lords like the Jedi Order has.

Yes he did, I believe that was at the end of the Phantom Menace.
I think Snoke is Palpatine. (refer back to his conversation with Anakin about the SL who could resurrect himself, a lot of time passed between that conversation & ROTJ, if he didn't already know, I'm sure he figured it out by then)
That's my $0.02, but I've been wrong on many other things so.........

It makes sense, and while a little bit too expected and contrived, it really makes the most sense. Like I said, it would be cool if that power of immortality was manifest in a body switch scenario, where in death Palpatine takes over Tarkin, or even consumes he's evil filth and gets stronger as he takes his body and life force.

Without looking deeply into it yet, I think this fits into the bridge scene with Han as well. Also, when Rey sees his mind and his fear of not being as strong as Vader.
it's been 30 years since the battle of endor ... if there was another sith lord out there - it's not surprising he would become leader ...
i hope snoke is not palpatine ... not a fan of coming back to life characters ... it's like GoT where like no one dies ...
But Supreme Leader with apprentices of his own?
Yeah, I guess there would be time, he's playing bushleague just like Luke was.
If Snoke is a new character, who made him a Sith?
his apprentice is a whiny kid with major identity and anger issues who had his mind trick blocked by a girl with no training ... not the creme of the crop ...

I agree, I don't want him to be Palpatine...... It would be far too hokey, but if I had to guess, that's probably my best guess (in fairness, I haven't put a whole ton of thought into it though, so IDK)
i dunno ... i just don't necessarily think it's that important ... he could be anybody ...
I don't know about that. I would much rather see the good guy be anybody and the bad guy be a reliable source of evil.
for sure he has to be a compelling and believable baddie but his origin doesn't necessarily need to be introduced prior to episode 8 ... we're gonna get all kinds of back story in 8 (rey, luke) - might as well get his as well ...

if that's the case - you would think he would have told luke ... "hey, son ... i've got this kid i've been hanging with ... he's kinda really down with the dark side ... he, may eventually turn into gollum and reveal himself only in holograms but you may want to watch out for him ... "

That would have been Luke, no? Palpatine wanted to train him but Vader wanted to secretly so father and son could overthrow him and rule together.

Vader definitely could have been grooming someone else before Luke came along..... Or even after Luke came along......

Yep. Palpatine wanted to get rid of Vader and take Luke as his new apprentice. Vader wanted to replace Palpatine himself and take Luke as his second in command so they could "rule the galaxy as father and son."

It's always good to have a backup plan.
yeah, I guess that's possible. But isn't the basic idea that there is nobody out there who's strong enough with the force to make it happen... until Luke comes along?

"The son of Skywalker must not become a Jedi."
yep, luke and anakin are the two most powerful. would be lame if they magically introduced someone who was more powerful than those two.
I'm still going with the theory that Snoke is Jar Jar.
too predictable. i am going with the storm trooper that hit his head on the door in a new hope. his revenge on the galaxy for almost 40 years of mockery.

I wonder if that is the route Lucas was going with but abandoned plans after the fallout from the 1st film?
