    Its also Norwegian for snoop . . . "to pry into the private affairs of others."

    Don't really care how much sense can be made of it. It still comes off as too silly to me.

    I could see them going for 80's nostalgia wherever they can get it, I mean if the rumors about Anakin's lightsaber are true the plot is a total ripoff of Masters of the Universe complete with the key and the short orange alien in blue robes!

    If they've covered all their bases maybe there'll be a group of gun mounted dinosaurs on the jungle planet.

    I had a negative reaction when I first read it also, but after only a few hours and reading it on this site a few hundred times, I'm already starting to come around on it. So who knows, maybe they have a very good reason for choosing this name that will become clear once we see the movie. Until I see the film, I won't judge it too harshly.

    Also, if you think of the name outside the context of a Sci-Fi film, it doesn't seem too out of place. In the context of the more medieval style they seem to be going for, or even a western or fantasy for that matter, it doesn't sound nearly as strange. I could see an evil lord in Game of Thrones or the leader of a group of bandits in an old western having this name and I don't think it would get anywhere close to the negative reaction it's gotten so far. Just my opinion however, It could suck even more when in context

    I was going through TFA teaser pictures and I know a lot us think this guy is Gleeson's character The General. But what if he's Andy Serkis's character Snoke?

    SW has always had a few names that sound like words that say something about the character. Han SOLO the loner. Obi-Wan the obedient one. A guy named Skywalker is a pilot. His friend Darklighter is an idealist who joins the military and deserts to join the opposition cause the Empire is Evil and so on.

    So we have a new name. SNOKE.

    The first thought that hit me as it was a great SW name just not for the Supreme Leader presumably of the 1st Order.

    Then I started thinking (yes pulling stuff from my ahhh elbow). Speculating in other words. Here are a few points from my thought train;
    1- I noted that it is one letter removed from snake. My guess is something reptilian.
    2- Back when trailer 1 hit everyone thought that Cumberbach must have done the voice cause it sounded so much like him or more to the point like Smaug.
    3- A rumor that was old back in November when I really started to pay attention to all this was that there was going to be a Kryat dragon in the movie. This was of course back in the old days when sand meant it could only be Tatooine. Prior to hearing Serkis was going to be zombie like guy who has "been through some stuff." I wondered if he was going to be an undead sithy spirit who could possess different life forms. Possession seems like twisted and evil power that a Sith Lord might take. So I wondered if Serkis might be a long dead Sith who possessed a Kryat dragon who encounters a relic hunter and then moves to possess him. Or perhaps the "imprisoned Luke" rumor was him holding the spirit at bay. Keeping the spirit bound. Now if this is the Supreme Comander I doubt its a Sith Spirit who has posses some sort of Dragon. But I wonder if it is some sort of draconic, snaky reptile species. The zombie like appearance might be him molting (becoming a bigger threat) or because he is old (been through some stuff).

    Maybe Snoke is not the Cobra Commander but . . ..

    I was thinking it also look normal too but we cant really see his face. His face is supposed to look like a zombie like feature.

    Based off of dialogue spoken by the character in the first teaser, and Serkis' own admission that his character prefers lightsabers to blasters, we already have an answer for you.

    I think the G.I Joe analogy is spot on:

    Serpentor: Snoke
    Cobra Commander: Gleeson
    Destro: Kylo Ren
    Baroness: Captain Phasma

    In this analogy, Gleeson's general would do something incompetent and be punished/killed at the end.

    I guess this is evidence that JJ and co. were blazed when making this film.

    On a more serious note, Serkis' reveal could possibly mean something for Domhnall Gleeson's character. We all assumed Serkis would be revealed last since he's the main villain, but that didn't happen, and we still have Gleeson and MVS. If MVS is revealed next, then that would leave Gleeson. Personally, I think this would be proof that Gleeson has a HUGE role in this new trilogy. And I'm talking about the role that FOUR of MSW's sources agreed upon.
