This has led most fan theories to suggest that we have seen Snoke before, just in some other form.
The identity of Supreme Leader Snoke has generated as many fan theories as the origin of Rey at this point.
He’s clearly a character of power and authority, so much so that it seems odd that he would not have shown his face previously in the Star Wars universe.
Everybody from a still alive Emperor Palpatine to Grand Moff Tarkin has been suggested as Snoke’s true identity, and while these theories, like the Ezra theory, could be technically possible, as we have no evidence that they are not, most of them, if not all of them, absolutely are not true.
