New cast members include Benicio Del Toro, Laura Dern, and Kelly Marie Tran.
Likely option: someone from the Knights of Ren.I wonder who Del Toro is playing?

My totally out there/almost certainly not true theory: the original Knight of Ren - Ezra Bridger.
IMO, where Snoke came from is set up in the novel Aftermath. That novel, if you haven't read it, is based around an emergency summit on Akiva between the surviving Imperial fleet commanders and a bunch of other big wigs from the Empire. They're trying to figure out what to do about the New Republic and how to save the Empire. One of the people there is a dark side historian who was an advisor to the Emperor. He wasn't a dark sider himself, but he did know a lot about it. He tells the commanders how the Emperor sent scientists and explorers out of the galaxy to try to find the source of the dark side. The Emperor believed that this source of the dark side, which he believed was extra-galactic, was where his own power came from.That would be quite a crazy scenario, in the latter case who do you think Snoke would be, if not the original Knight?
If people dislike the movie because of that then their opinions should quite frankly be totally ignored. Just because something breaks with tradition doesn't make it bad.That would be a good idea considering how fast episode VII ended, but it would be, er, breaking tradition? All the other movies have gaps in them, and so do the seasons in TCW and Rebels. It would be good for the story, but it might cause some people to, dislike the movie.
Snoke? My theory is that Snoke is from the source of the dark side, not that he found it. So presumably he'd be a Force user.Del Toro I like, the others I don't know who they are.
And @Brandon Rhea about your theory on Snoke. If he found the source of the Dark side, did that make him a FU? Or did he just find it and still is not FS? But he know a whole bunch about the Dark Side of the force.

I have no idea who would have found him. Probably the research teams the Emperor sent out.Oh, okay now I understand. So this adviser or scientist guy found Snoke when he went looking for the Darkside?
Or am I still wrong?
