Snoke

"Passion will be our power. Passion for one's self yes, but passion for others over and above that. The choices of one affect the choices of all. Passion is raw, untamed potential, and it must be...harnessed. Your strength flows from passion."

- Snoke, to the Supreme Hand

Snoke was a male Humanoid alien and the Supreme Leader of the First Order. He sought information on the last Jedi, Luke Skywalker.

Rise of the Supreme Leader
"By the Supreme Leader's will!"

- FN-2187, receiving fellatio from Supanovvva

An alien, Snoke drew his plans while isolated in the Unknown Regions, where he kept an inner sanctum within his grand palace, guarded by Elite Praetorians whose armor was inspired by that of Atrisian warriors of Kitel Phard. He eventually emerged from the Unknown Regions to rise to power over the former Imperial remnant, and dominated Grand Admiral Rae Sloane. He cemented himself as the Supreme Leader of the First Order.

The Supreme Leader occasionally made use of the woman who had once been Darth Vader's concubine. She proved herself faithful to his cause by performing necessary tasks including betrayal and murder. He eventually summoned her to his palace. She was escorted to his sanctum by two of his elite guardsmen, and was greeted by him and his two vornskrs. He questioned her over her service to the Galactic Empire, and asked what she required from him. Her answer&mdash;to serve him&mdash;pleased him, and the Supreme Leader showed her heady and arousing Force visions before taking to his nephrite throne and commanding her to serve him. She began stroking his pale manhood and kissed it as it engorged. He praised her passion but forced her to recount her history as Vader's servant on Mustafar, deriving satisfaction from her answer. However, he grew impatient with her work and used the Force to place her over his cock, and began fucking her like a puppet held in his mental grip. She came around his shaft and writhed on top of him until he eventually climaxed. Commanding her to lick his discharge from his throne, Snoke named her his Supreme Hand, an extension of his will. He sent her out into the wider galaxy to serve his bidding.

Seducing Ben Solo
He used his vast intellect to snare Ben Solo, son of Han Solo and Leia Organa and heir to Anakin Skywalker, telling him the legend of Darth Plagueis and of the Wise Master of the first Force-worshiping order. Snoke offered Ben the same control that the Wise Master had exhibited over the Force and the abominable beings she created by twisting the midi-chlorians, and intimated that Solo was more powerful than the Supreme Leader himself, and could become his rightful heir. Snoke appeared in a variety of guises while targeting Solo.

After conversing with an entity calling himself the Master outside Luke Skywalker's Jedi Temple, Ben, like his grandfather before him, succumbed not only to the Supreme Leader's temptations but to his own inner flaws. Under Snoke's influence, Solo assaulted his fellow students and destroyed the training temple. He became Snoke's dark apprentice and subject as Kylo Ren. Snoke's dictate forbade any in the First Order to utter Ren's birth name.

Skywalker later informed Han Solo of all that had occurred with Ben, Snoke, and his Padawans.

Leading the First Order
"What in the name of Typhojem's left testicle do they teach you in the Corps?" "Single-minded unity of purpose through the guidance of the Supreme&mdash;" "Shut up."

- Marialew and FN-2187

Snoke's dramatic and inspiring visage graced the First Order propaganda poster It Is Through the Guidance of Supreme Leader That We Achieve Single-Minded Unity of Purpose!, and portraits of Snoke and other galactic leaders graced the Imp bar The Old Hope on Aralia. His precepts and commands guided the First Order's stormtroopers, including the FN Corps which dedicated itself to the Supreme Leader. Aside from himself as the most obvious example, aliens were uncommon in the First Order in comparison to the more dominant Human species. He had Starkiller Base's original world changed to serve his will.

As the First Order expanded throughout the Outer Rim Territories in the months leading up to the Battle of Starkiller Base, a number of sects challenged the rule of Supreme Leader Snoke and Kylo Ren, and were displaced by the regime.

Seeking Luke Skywalker
Kirana Promenti of the Knights of Ren was tasked with discovering hints to Luke Skywalker's present location, and expected that the Supreme Leader would be pleased to reward her for information on the last Jedi. She joined a venture to the Unknown Regions planet of Rakata Prime, and was confronted by the Dowutin big-game hunter Grummgar in the Temple of the Ancients. Grummgar briefly considered helping to return Promenti to Snoke and Kylo Ren, along with knowledge of Skywalker's visit to the planet and the Twi'lek historian Ardanna Glie as his captive. However, Grummgar knew Snoke's reputation, and believed that no one would ever see him again after rendering such assistance. Claims in the galactic underworld suggested that Snoke and Kylo Ren planned to dig into the catacombs beneath Maz Kanata's castle on Takodana in order to recover ancient Jedi and Sith artifacts, whether Kanata consented or not.

War with the Resistance
"If I fight Ben or Snoke myself, I will give in to the hate I avoided over Endor. If I train another, I will be setting them up to me massacred like my earlier padawans. There is no solace above or below, only us&mdash;small, solitary, striving, battling one another."

- Luke Skywalker

General Leia Organa created a Resistance movement to oppose Snoke's First Order. At some point, a First Order supply convoy en route to Snoke had a pair of gold-embroidered slippers stolen, which were later worn by Lando Calrissian.

The First Order emerged to decimate the New Republic, though Resistance forces destroyed Starkiller Base. In the wake of the Battle of Starkiller Base, Snap Wexley prepared for a reconnaissance patrol to the ruins of Starkiller Base in an attempt to detect the unique hyperspace signature of the Star Destroyer Finalizer and potentially trace it back to Snoke's location. General Organa hoped to launch a surprise attack if the Supreme Leader's location was found. However, Snoke deployed his merciless legions to seize military control of the galaxy. Officers aboard the Star Destroyer Fellfire toasted the Supreme Leader and cheered the strike against the New Republic.

Skywalker, in exile on the Jedi homeworld of Ahch-To, believed that he was unable to fight Snoke or Kylo Ren without giving into the hate he once avoided over Endor, and said as much to the spirit of his father Anakin Skywalker, moments before the arrival of Rey aboard the Millennium Falcon. Skywalker mused over the idea of unleashing the powerful Force-user to face Snoke and the Knights of Ren, and made his judgement as Rey approached him with his father's lightsaber.

Snoke used Kylo Ren's strange connection with Rey to discover Skywalker's location, and bridged the young Force-users' minds. He allowed the pair to communicate intimately through the Force, and observed their ethereal trysts. He eventually lured Rey into a confrontation aboard his flagship Supremacy, and dominated her. Snoke used his penetrative power to open her body to him, and commanded Ren to strike her down. However, the apprentice surprised him by resisting his manipulations, and the Supreme Leader was bisected by the Skywalker lightsaber.

Legacy
After Snoke's death, Kylo Ren supplanted him as Supreme Leader and attempted to rule the galaxy with Rey as his consort.

Physical appearance and biology
Snoke was a male alien. He was pale-skinned and tall, with a cadaverous body that was lank and slender, reaching around seven feet in height. The fleshy, pale-pink skin-tone of his gracile frame, while pallid and muted, wasn't as bone-white as the Pau'an species. His skull was twisted and swollen with gnarled and distorted features, and his mouth was twisted into a permanent curious grimace. He had a piercing, pale blue gaze, his vivid eyes set into recessed sockets. He had preternaturally long, crooked fingers and slender, wizened hands. His wiry thighs were pitted with old wounds. His manhood was tall, crooked, and fleshy, with thick, pale-blue veins and a small number of light-gold pubic hairs. The shaft was both hot and cold at once. He emanated pheromones with a spicy musk. His voice was rich and deep.

He dressed in elegance and finery, wearing a patterned gold robe accentuated by soft, curled slippers. A pair of gold-embroidered slippers were said to have been stolen from a First Order supply convoy en route to Snoke, and were acquired by Lando Calrissian.

Personality and traits
"The Supreme Leader will be pleased to reward those who help him find the last Jedi. I will give you this one chance."

- Kirana Promenti, to Grummgar

Snoke had an intellect that was vast, cool, and unsympathetic, and he kept his activities secretive. He was considered to be wise. In the terms of Uto Hoyett's Unified System concept, Snoke was akin to the verbobrain that allowed every member of the First Order to function efficiently. Snoke was known for his reputation, alongside Kylo Ren, as someone who made people disappear after receiving their assistance, though was pleased to reward those with information on Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi.

Snoke was measured in posture and tone, even while receiving fellatio from his concubine. His Supreme Hand derived more pleasure from pleasing him than her service to Darth Vader. However, he also emphasized the importance of passion, and made up for his withered appearance with his impassioned power in the Force.

He surrounded himself in opulence, keeping an ostentatious grand palace and inner sanctum designed to provide the utmost comfort and security to its single occupant. He favored red (as evidenced by his red-armored guards and inner sanctum) and gold (such as his attire, golden doors and gold-embroidered slippers). His penchant for elegance and finery led his Supreme Hand to picture him as a handsome and ribald scoundrel or gambler in his youth.

Powers and abilities
"I can show you many things. Visions. My sight stretches across eons. I can tell you tales of the Jedi and the fall of the Old Republic. Or I can show you a vision of the future, from a time when our order is ascendant. I can show you so much. The very nature of the Force and the raw, tumescent power of the dark side. How it burns inside your heart and seduces each of the lesser beings who will feel the touch of your fire. I can show you the Prime Jedi, the Wise Master of the ancient dark, the folly of Palpatine, and the tragedy of Darth Vader the strong...."

- Snoke, to the Supreme Hand

Snoke was a wise and impassioned master of the dark side of the Force, its arcane power coursing through his body with an insidious aspect. He had the power to show Force visions to others, claiming that his sight could stretch across eons to conjure images from ancient eras and recent history. The vivid images he showed his Supreme Hand, including apparent future events, were tangible enough to her that she fell to her knees as the vision reached its climax. He had a commanding presence and exuded a primal magnetism beyond his natural pheromones, and could compel people with his words, lacing his voice with a forceful undertone that his servants couldn't help but obey. He demonstrated telekinetic abilities with the power of his mind, and could appear to others in a variety of guises.

Behind the scenes
Snoke was created for the 2015 sequel trilogy film Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens, and was portrayed in both it and its 2017 sequel, Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, by actor and motion-capture artist. The actor stated that Snoke's mannerisms, as well as his gold attire in The Last Jedi, were partly derived from Playboy founder Hugh Hefner.

He was first mentioned in erotica canon in Das Flute's 2016 canon erotic fiction "Bait and Switch". The author intended for the Master, a disembodied character who tempts Ben Solo towards the dark side in his 2016 story "The Tragedy of Darth Vader the Strong", to be Snoke, although used the alternate title to avoid any potential issues with the name in future material. Flute drew from Palpatine's seduction of Anakin Skywalker in the 2005 film Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith, with the Master in Palpatine's role, and wrote the story in-line with the fan theory that Snoke was actually Darth Plagueis&mdash;although, despite liking the theory, Flute stated he didn't think it would turn out to be true.

Similarly to Flute, Kooriv featured Snoke in an unnamed role in his 2018 canon erotic fiction "Blood and Gold", referring to the character only by his title of Supreme Leader. In his endnotes, the author confirmed the character's identity as Snoke, and pointed out the allusion to Snoke's "ambiguous appearance" in "The Tragedy of Darth Vader the Strong".
