Could Snoke be a relic of the Ancient Sith Empire?
In the novel when Snoke is speaking to Kylo, he makes a reference to when he was watching The Empire. He spoke of the mistakes that Palpatine and Vader made. Leah told Han that Snoke had been watching Kylo since birth. Now here comes the kicker - my opinion.
Could Snoke be actually a relic of the Ancient Sith Empire/Brotherhood of Darkness? The books state that Bane destroyed the Sith on Ruusan establishing the rule of two, but it wouldn't make sense to deploy all forces on one system. Would Disney be radical enough to resurrect the Sith Empire through the First Order?
Opinions anyone?

It would be interesting to learn more about the Nu Canon's lore about the Ancient Sith. Maybe it will finally make sense how Sidious claimed the Sith would "once more" rule the galaxy.
I personally believe Snoke will be a New Canon Rakata, the signs are there. First Order was founded in the Unknown Regions, Rakata Prime is acknowledged in the new canon, the Starkiller Base is like a super version of the Star Forge in terms of absorbing star energy, etc.

A feeling of fullness, of power, of dark and demon mastery -- of secret lusts, unrestrained passion, wild submission -- all these things were in Vader's heart as he neared his Emperor. These things and more."
