The Last Jedi may have seen the end of Supreme Leader Snoke, but many questions concerning the mysterious villain remain unanswered. Just who is he really and how did he end up ruling the First Order and mentoring Kylo Ren? Well, now StarWars.com has announced a new comic book series called Marvel’s Age of Resistance, which will tell “new, essential stories about the greatest heroes and villains of the sequel trilogy”. And one of them is focused on Snoke.

The first issue is titled The Devil’s Apprentice and its synopsis reads: “Supreme Leader Snoke’s brutal training of Kylo Ren begins.

“Will the sadistic Snoke break his tormented protégé? Or has he underestimated the son of Han and Leia?”

But what’s more intriguing is the comic’s cover, which sees Snoke on his throne, but with the branches of a tree behind him.

Reddit user vadrr21 has speculated it looks like a tree from a swamp, so could possibly be Dagobah.
