Andy Serkis Confirms That Snoke Won’t Meet [SPOILER] In The Last Jedi

While it’s been known that Snoke will have a larger role in The Last Jedi than The Force Awakens (albeit not a role that’s large enough to explain the intricacies of his backstory), it’s not clear if Snoke will be meeting any of the characters. Thanks to an interview from Andy Serkis, we now know that there’s one character he won’t be meeting with… Who we’ll get into after the jump (so as to not spoil anyone).

 

Speaking to The List at the world premiere of Goodbye Christopher Robin, Serkis revealed that he did not film any scenes with Carrie Fisher, confirming that Leia and Snoke do not meet. His specific words on the subject were as follows:

“I had no scenes with Carrie but I did get to know her a little bit. She was an incredible human being with a wonderful personality and she’s sadly, sadly missed and everyone who came into contact with her was really touched by her great energy and great sense of humour. She is a wonderful person and I did have a great time working with the cast and Adam Driver and Domhnall Gleeson, we’ve had some really great times on it.”

There were multiple so-called “leaks” suggesting a Leia/Snoke confrontation as part of the movie’s third act, and it sounds like they can finally be discarded altogether. From the sound of things, Snoke’s interactions with other characters seem to be limited for those working within the First Order – unless, of course, Snoke does communicate to the Resistance at some point, and we don’t know that because it’s a spoiler. But it seems that any conversation between Leia and Snoke will have occurred before the events of the Sequel Trilogy. One could only imagine that Episode IX was going to feature a confrontation between the two, but now that Fisher is gone, it seems as though this will never come to pass. Instead, it seems like any communication between the two characters will have to be explained via dialogue or in EU materials.

    Theory: Snoke (and maybe others like him) was the real power behind Palpatine. Snoke, and these other beings, come from the un-mapped regions of the Outer Rim. They’ve been messing with the governments and civilizations of the known Star Wars universe for several millennia. It has to do with obtaining absolute power over the Force.

    After Palpatine failed, Snoke took over to run things directly.

    This doesn’t mean he won’t have a scene with her. Even in his motion capture scenes in TFA he wasn’t in the same room as Adam Driver or Gleeson. Just because he didn’t film with her doesn’t mean they don’t have a scene together. However I don’t think they do, I believe she’ll probably die in an explosion or something.

      He was in the same room as them….he was sat high up…..there are behind the scenes photos and interviews that confirm this

        Actually that is false. Pretty much all of his scenes were done in an enclosed room with a 180 degrees perspective of motion mapping cameras. Later he was edited into the scene with Hux and Ren, then digitally remodeled to look like Snoke.

          the ring of cameras is for the 3d scan.. mocap is done with a few cameras to track the movements. ‘ motion capture ‘ mocap technology enables an actor to actually interact witb others. so offcourse andy serkis was on the same set as adam driver. thats the whole point of it. I cant believe that people just put this weird storys as truth out… do some investigation. go to youtube and type “scan mocap”

          “We shot on set of course, and I was in the scenes I have with other actors, but the beauty of this process is you can go back and reiterate, keep informing and honing beats and moments,” Serkis says. “So J.J., after we shot last year, we’ve had a series of sessions where I’d be in London at The Imaginarium, my studio, while he’s been directing from L.A., and we’ve literally been creating further additions and iterations to the character. That’s been fascinating. And in the meantime I’ve been able to see the look and design of the character grow and change as the performances change. So it’s been really exciting in that respect.”

          I’ll just leave this here

    That headlines too much for me, even as is, I’m out. No more Star Wars news for me, roll on December.

          Well, stepstone, you’re absence lasted for 12 hours…. That was better than I could do.

            Lol. Only to reply though, haven’t looked at anything new. I think I can do it. But the trailer(s) might make it a little bit more difficult:)

    Superman and Clark never had scenes together either.

      Haha. I saw The Dark Knight with a bunch of friends, and at the end of it I had to explain to one of them that (SPOILER ALERT!) Bruce Wayne was Batman. No kidding. They said “Oh, that makes so much more sense now” 🙂

    I don’t really think this rules out a meeting between the two. Snoke is a mo-cap character after all.

    The real question is: how much time does he spend with Adam Driver?

      Hopefully enough time to complete his training.

      Presumably, he spends more time with KR than any other character.

    Snoke will obviously be talking about Rey a lot.

    How many time with Chew?

    I mean he is the big bad and ryan already said he’s not in a ton of the movie, so I suspect he won’t share scenes with much of anyone beyond hux and Kylo.

    I think it’s better that way

    Hope he has only one scene in this film. The Emperor didn’t show up [in the flesh] until Jedi. Snoke had 4 scenes in TFA alone :/

    That’s too bad. I was really looking forward to a Leia/Snoke showdown and maybe even a battle for Ben’s heart and soul.

    My Snoke theory: after the destruction of the empire and the death of the emperor a new dark force, the First Order rises. At the head of this scurrilous organisation is a great evil known as Snoke. He leads the First Order to inflict further tyranny on the galaxy, he corrupts Ben Solo, a Jedi Knight trainee into the dark side of the force. Snoke has, at some stage in the past, been horribly maimed.

    I can’t help it: I’m sure he will make a memorable villain but Snoke does look like a giant scrotum.

    As we now know, Snoke does meet a main character (Rey). 🙂
