Your support makes all the difference.One of the many questions that came about following Star Wars: The Force Awakens was “who is Supreme Leader Snoke?”
Hundreds of fans have been theorising about who the CG villain may be, some theories coming off as slightly crazy (Darth Vader reincarnate) to just plain silly (Darth Jar Jar).
If you’re one of those people who believes in the very bizarre, then Star Wars Episode 8 director Rian Johnson has a message for you: Your Snoke Theory Sucks.
Well, he didn’t exactly say it about any one theory in particular; the picture of the director has been doing the rounds online, reminding fans to keep their theories grounded, for the meantime at least.
The sticker given to Johnson came from the Steele Wars podcast, which is now selling 'Your Snoke Theory Sucks' T-Shirts.
Recently, the director revealed the six movies he advised the cast of Episode VIII to watch before filming, most of which were war films.
Speaking at the Star Wars Celebration, he also said the film will pick up where the last movie left off, with Daisy Ridley’s Rey meeting Mark Hamill’s Luke Skywalker on a desolate island.
While the film is yet to receive a full title, filming - which recently wrapped up - has been done under the name Space bears. Episode VIII is set to hit UK cinemas in December 2017.
