J.J. Abrams, the director of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, has revealed that the film will look to explain certain mysteries of the saga such as Supreme Leader Snoke.
Supreme Leader Snoke has been one of the most mysterious characters of the sequel trilogy but his shocking death in The Last Jedi has left many questions about who this man was and where he came from.
Well, the good news is that when Uproxx asked J.J. Abrams about Snoke, he said that The Rise of Skywalker will provide answers to some key Star Wars questions:
“I will say, without giving anything away, knowing this movie is an ending is, for me infinitely more challenging than a beginning. We knew we needed to provide answers. And while there may be some things that aren’t entirely demystified by the end of it, we wanted to make sure people left feeling that they were satisfied. So I hope, on a number of issues, people will leave and feel like that it’s a true ending and not an advertising ploy. We really are bringing it to an end.”

It’s going to be fascinating to see how Episode IX wraps up all three trilogies and there are certainly more than a few people who can’t wait to understand the origins of Snoke.
