Ever since I saw The Force Awakens I have seen hundreds of theories about how Snoke is Vader (last I checked he was a ghost), Palpatine reborn, Plageuis returned, and a million other things including, as of yet, non-canon Sith Lords. But the one thing most of these theories have ignored is the source material: Snoke himself says in the novelization that he witnessed the rise and fall of the Galactic Empire.
Vader and Palpatine did not see the rise, they were the rise as well as the fall of the empire so they are disqualified. Now to be fair, I do understand these theories and how people grasp at the totally insane to make a story interesting, but please get real!
To me it is quite obvious that Snoke is someone new, as far as we're concerned. In fact I would not be surprised if he was one of the Emperor's Advisers. However, I could accept the Plaguis theory as it would be a way to connect us to the prequels. Additionally, if Snoke were Plageuis then we would eventually need to have a story explaining how Plageuis came back or survived his death at the hands of Sidious.
So what do you guys believe? Who is Supreme Leader Snoke? What is he? How did he see the rise and fall of the Empire, and then create The First Order from the remaining ashes?
