IDK man-children and actual children like a lot of the same shit.

Nobody knows. Legends of a D'sn'y have been passed from generation to generation for centuries, whole clans of archaeologists have destroyed them selves seeking forbidden knowledge.
The Mouse Holds Secrets Man Was Not Meant To Know.
I think he's actually a Nintendo guy. Hence his love of Kotaku.

Wasn't Darth Krayt alive for like, 150 years or some shit? He wasn't too deformed. But he was fucked up from that Yuuzhan Vong armor.

Agreed. Overall I kind of prefer the lefthand side regardless, but if they're going for old, I'd like to see the charring too. Might not make much sense, but it's Star Wars, Jake.
they kind of jumped around on it. I mean even Lucas started with dark side corruption is effecting Palpatine. I mean in Episode 2 he turns Palpatine all sick looking and on the path to Palpatine as we know him.
Then suddenly shelved it for 3 and Palpatine is back to Happy old self. Of course probably had more to do with the need to Give Sam Jackson his "kick ass" moment.

That design is just so good.

They had silver sabers in the Kotor games. At least #2, don't remember if they had them in the original.
Really wonder what their angle will be for why this fellow was dormant in the OT and also why the Empire's military follows him now.
Was he doing a Voldemort "too weak for now" or was he puppeteering Palpatine, whispering in his ears?
Dunno how I would feel about it if he is just another unrelated old white dude with a lust for power.
Also: Always thought the military of the Empire followed Palpatine because he came out of the power structure of the Republic and he kept his wizardry and "other side" to only a few select folks like those weird hat dudes in ROTJ. And he also had programmed the initial Stormtrooper army to just follow him and him alone.
Snoke however looks like the military would have no reason to follow this guy other than him "clouding" their minds?

White sabers are a thing already.
Snoke is Ahsoka.
She's got that Micheal Jackson skin disease.

I think that's physical damage from an incident.
Eh, we're just going back to the original EU explanation - Palpatine was using a "Force mask" the whole time and allowed it to slip so he could blame the Jedi for disfiguring him.

So Snoke goes back to the OT?

Snoke is going to be a pure Force Lightning motherfucker.
Yep, even the movie novels say that it was a mask. And the deformed one was his true face.
Hope so. Hope he has tricks we haven't even seen yet when it comes to those force magics.
Palpatine busting out the Force Lightning in RotJ was incredible to me as a kid. Completely changed how I thought about the force in a single instant. I'd like to feel that jolt of surprise again one day.

But he even kept "the mask" when talking to the bad dudes as Sidious. What's up with that?
Vanity. Palpatine was always petty about appearance. That actually crossed over into the new cannon in Tarkin if I recall correctly.
Lucas making things up as he went along basically.
30 years have passed... could be he wasn't "force active" until after RotJ. though i get the feeling he's been around for awhile and they'll explain it away somehow.
they're bound to write themselves into some corners with a lot of characters that should've been acknowledged but weren't
Didn't they say he was ancient and around a thousand years old like Maz?

It'll probably be something simple like he just awoke (the Dark Side of the Force awakening) or was resurrected or something. Or he was just biding his time to take over on some distant planet and decided to strike after the Galactic Civil War.
His words were "Ah, I will miss the face of Palpatine, but it has served it's purpose"
The face of a caring old man probably had more impact to seduce people to the cause and his deformed face might have show weakness. when the deformed one became useful,he exploited it.
Also Star Wars.

MAZ IS A THOUSAND YEARS OLD WAT?!

I can accept this explanation.
But I can also accept these explanations.
Why not both.
She's been around for a thousand years. But I am assuming that means she is around that old based on the quote.

Love that design, it's cold and sinister.
Rae Sloane, under orders of the mysterious "Fleet Admiral" (who a lot of people speculate is Thrawn), convokes a meeting of important Imperial figures on Akiva to figure out what to do after Endor. One of the attendees is Yupe Tashu, one of Palpatine's advisors, who constantly tells the other members that they need to search for the "wellspring of the Dark Side", which he believes is beyond the galaxy because (according to his claims) Palpatine felt that his powers "came" from there. Whether Tashu is correct or just nuts we don't really know, but the others all kind of dismiss him.
Ah, thanks. Wonder if they're trying to set something up there or if it's just brushed aside.
I was actually thinking it looks like a Bloodborne NPC, which is amazing.
