With just a week left for the release of Star Wars: Episode IX – The Rise of Skywalker, new details about the movie has leaked online. The new plot leak is related to the relationship between Emperor Palpatine and Supreme Leader Snoke.
Snoke is still a mysteries character for the Star Wars fans. It is because nothing much has been revealed about him through the last two movies from the Skywalker saga - Episode VII: The Force Awakens and Episode VIII: The Last Jedi. Followers of the sci-fi film series are really curious to know how he rose to power after Emperor Palpatine's supposed death in Episode IV: Return of the Jedi.
New plot leak
But a new plot leak from Making Star Wars has claimed that Episode IX will not reveal much about Snoke or how he became the Supreme Leader of the First Order. The only thing that fans will get to know about him in The Rise of Skywalker is his relationship with Emperor Palpetine, added the website.
"The guy who proclaimed "I am the senate!" would also proclaim he's Snoke because he's speaking metaphorically. Sources across the board who would comment on the line believe it is said metaphorically. Darth Sidious is behind Snoke, as Snoke was his puppet creation. The film will likely not answer the question about how Darth Sidious survived according to my sources. It will imply he controlled Supreme Leader Snoke. ," Jason Ward from Making Star Wars wrote.
