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?
