Well, based on the D23 footage of 'The Rise of Skywalker', we know that the Jedi have transmitted all their knowledge to the next generation and that the Skywalker Saga is coming to an end. While their plans aren't entirely obvious at the moment, it seems the First Order wishes to do away with the distinctions of Sith and Jedi, replacing both with themselves. The First Order, led by Supreme Leader Snoke (Andy Serkis) and his apprentice Kylo Ren (Adam Driver), may seem similar to the Sith but their teachings are less concerned with the light and the dark.

The book also states that Snoke falling prey to Kylo Ren's lightsaber, whether intentional or not, worked such that it allowed the Emperor to "sidestep" the standard ritual of an apprentice slaying their Sith master to move upward in rank. So, essentially, there was no Snoke before Palpatine invented Snoke, and while Palpatine guides Snoke along, it's presumably more through Dark Side suggestion and influence - or, perhaps, just genetically engineering him with certain goals - than outright mind control. ![]() ![]() Snoke has free will, but his actions and goals are still orchestrated by Sidious."
