Many early rumours believed that Snoke was from beyond the galaxy far, far away that we know and love.
The mysterious First Order leader has been rumoured to be an ancient alien, the very first Sith lord and even the father of Rey.
Star Wars, though, usually likes to hide things in plain sight, preferring misdirection to huge plot leaps and explanations.
What if we already know where Snoke is from and have seen it, heard about it and even argued over how to pronounce it?
WARNING: POTENTIAL SPOILERS
The latest revelations surround the glamorous new location of Canto Bight.
Star Wars Youtube channel Mike Zeroh reports: “We learned the official name of the planet is Cantonica. A lot of fans were confused how to pronounce it. Thanks to Rian Johnson we have learned just that and it is pronounced Cantonica like harmonica.
“The whole planet is in the middle of nowhere within the galaxy, it essentially near the Outer Rim, way out there.”
This casino city is a haven for the galaxy’s richest citizens to display their ostentatious wealth. Guess who else does that?
Everything about this new planet fits very neatly with a certain shadowy leader. Fans already know that Snoke loves to flaunt his own trappings of success and wealth with a spectacular throne room and lavish robes. Do the links between Snoke and Cantonica run even deeper than that?
Zeroh adds: “Canto Bight is the only city on Cantonica. The rest is a red dusty planet. This leads me to believe that it is Supreme Leder Snoke’s planet which is said to be red and dusty.
“We do know that Snoke is obsessed with wealth. I believe that he is the one running this casino city.”
A previous leak about Snoke’s rumoured home planet said: “It is described to be a very Mars-like planet with some snow on it… It sounds very sinister.”
This fits with the description of a red dusty planet. However, it could also be a description of Crait which we now know is a red dust planet covered in white salt deposits.
Wookiepedia, meanwhile, states that Snoke lives on a mobile command base. This is likely to be the new First Order Dreadnought that was revealed this week.
Zeroh added: “We also learned that they gamble on falthier races within the main casino in Canto Bight.”
These are the ‘space horses’ that were shown in the behind-the-scenes sizzle reel from San Diego Comic Con.
All the reports and leaks point to Finn and Rose stealing a filthier and being pushed across Canto Bight by the local police in their speeders.
