It's no secret that fans took exception with a number of the creative decisions made by Star Wars: The Last Jedi writer/director Rian Johnson, but perhaps the biggest point of contention was his decision to kill off the enigmatic Supreme Leader Snoke while still leaving him shrouded in mystery. However, according to Andy Serkis, who provided the voice and motion capture for Snoke, there was a perfectly good reason his character's backstory was kept under wraps.

"We wanted him to have a great deal of mystery, but we did … J.J. [Abrams] and I discussed it, and Rian [Johnson] and I did discuss backstories to him, where he came from," Serkis told Entertainment Weekly. "I’ve been asked to not shed anything, should we want to bring him back in any way whether [in a] prequel or whatever. I think there’s something cool about that. It still does remain a mystery for people. I know that some people find it incredibly frustrating, but I think it allows for further exploration and layering at a further point."

Elaborating on the possibility of reprising his role in a future Star Wars film, Serkis added "I would love to think that there is room for [Snoke] to come back. I think anything’s possible in a Star Wars movie. I’d be all up for it. I think there’s a lot more to be had from the character for sure, but I’m not in discussions with anybody at all about it."

This, of course, mirrors his sentiments from January, in which he explained that Snoke's death "felt absolutely right for that moment in the film, so I didn’t question it. I just think it’s a very, very important scene, so I didn’t question it. But I do, I know it’s left fans feeling like, that they were really searching for something there. And what I’m saying is, who knows?"
