There aren't shortages of conspiracy theories in the Star Wars fandom, and many revolve around a single character. Snoke forced a well-spring of suspicion to arise after Star Wars: The Force Awakens premiered, and fan-theories still crop up since Episode VIII is on the way. And, now, one site has revealed what may be the most detailed look at Snoke derobed fans have seen.

Making Star Wars is a go-to destination for in-the-know fans, and the website had a surprise for fans today. Jason Ward, exercised his editor-in-chief sources to debut unofficial concept art of what Snoke looks like in the flesh.
The image can be seen below, and it will conflict with the Snoke aesthetic most fans are used to. Star Wars has only shown the Supreme Leader from the shadows, making him appear pale and bluish like Emperor Palpatine. However, fans know Snoke looks far more human than his predecessor thanks to a LEGO set leak.
Instead, it seems like Snoke will appear rather human though that's not to say the character will be such. Ward teamed up with artist Jared Jones to sketch out his mashed-up look of Snoke, and it looks oddly humane. Aside from the Supreme Leader's wounds and gouges, Snoke seems perfectly human; The only other notable piece of his appearance really just lies with his eyes.
Ward stressed to fans that Snoke had striking blue eyes when he "saw him last."
"The last time I saw Snoke from The Last Jedi I was really intrigued by his eyes. While it does look like he has conjunctivitis around his eyes, if you look closely at them you can see he has eye lashes in The Last Jedi. You can see it in The Force Awakens but its way more apparent when he's not a hologram. He has fine eyebrows you can barely see and their white and blondish in tone making me think he might have had blond hair and blue eyes when he was young," Ward wrote.
"The other thing I think that is kind of overlooked and even maybe exaggerated more in The Last Jedi are the two huge gaping holes in his throat which are wonderfully disgusting."
Of course, fans will have to wait some time to find out whether Ward & Jones' concept art aligns with what Lucasfilm has created. Reports have suggested Star Wars: The Last Jedi won't delve far into Snoke's identity, so there is no telling if the movie will give fans an up-close look at the villain. This researched mock-up may be the closest fans get to a Snoke selfie for quite some times, so it won't take long until new fan-theories pop up about the character.
Star Wars: The Last Jedi hits theaters December 15.
