'Star Wars' Episode 8 Plot News: New Leaks Tease Supreme Leader Snoke
Little is known about the sequel to the "Star Wars" trilogy, much less about the franchise's new villain, Supreme Leader Snoke.
According to "Star Wars" enthusiasts Mike Zeroh, he has landed a few important details about the big bad, which includes a violent scene between him and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver).
Zeroh took to YouTube to reveal information about the villain, which allegedly is from a source at Pinewood Studios.

In the video, he mentions a golden staff with an ornate decoration paced right next to Snoke's throne. He believes that it could have been what Andy Serkis, who portrays the Supreme Leader, was holding in a set photo of "The Last Jedi."
Though the object did not exactly appear that golden and fancy as I should, he still believes that it could be the same thing as it was covered in "motion capture stuff."
On Snoke's throne, one will find a high-metallic structure which Zeroh believes is what the big bad uses to project himself in holograms. The throne room or his mobile command center appears to be quite different from the Emperor. It has holographic displays for windows.
Furthermore, Zeroh talked about a scene between Serkis and Driver. "A scene was shot between Driver and Serkis at Pinewood of Driver slamming an object into the ground in front of Snoke," he said. "This is most likely the helmet he later destroys."
In the teaser for the film, one can see the helmet shattered to bits. The significance behind it is still unknown. But according to previous rumors, Ren could have done it to prove himself to the Supreme Leader.
Ren's grandfather, Darth Vader, hid behind a mask to hide his injuries. Unlike him, the destroying of the helmet means Ren feels no need to hide the wounds or scars inflicted by Rey on the Starkiller Base.
"Star Wars Episode VIII: The Last Jedi" premieres Dec. 15.
