(Spoiler alert: do not read on if you have not watched The Last Jedi)
So who is Snoke? Is Snoke really dead? At first, when Kylo Ren killed Snoke in The Last Jedi, I thought it was quite weird too. I mean, Snoke is supposed to be the main villain, and he dies in Episode 8? Then who is going to be the bad guy in Episode 9? But watching the above video, I think he may not be dead after all.
Here is what I think.
Snoke is actually the person who created the Jedi in the first place. And he also created the Sith to balance the Jedi. This can be seen from the symbol, which is light and dark, a balance, like the yin-yang symbol. He may even be the one who brought about Anakin, and Rey, to bring balance to the force.
Like in the video, it could be that Kylo killed a Force projection of Snoke instead of the actual Snoke. I mean, Luke can do a Force projection, so Snoke, who is powerful enough to use the Force to link up Kylo and Rey, must be able to do it too. In fact, he might even have anticipated Kylo betraying him (after all, that's what Siths are supposed to do... the apprentice kills the master to become the next master). That might have been what he meant in Episode 7 about "it is time to complete his (Kylo's) training."
Also, Episodes 7 and 8, seem to have some mirror-like link to Episodes 4 and 5. Since Emperor Palpatine only died in Episode 6, I think it is safe to assume Snoke, who seems to be Palpatine's equivalent in this trilogy, should only die in Episode 9.
Back to Snoke being the one who created both Jedi and Sith. With Palpatine and Vader both gone after Episode 6, there is an imbalance in the Force, with only Jedi (Luke) remaining. That may be why Snoke came back, to bring the Dark side back so as to balance the Light by corrupting Kylo. But at the same time, to maintain that balance, he made sure to create Rey as Kylo's counterpart.
So maybe, Snoke will return in Episode 9 to show everyone his role as the creator, who helps to maintain a balance in the Force. He is neither good nor evil; he trains whoever is weaker to help balance the stronger. He brought in Rey to make sure she confronts Kylo and grows stronger in the process. Episode 9 will likely be about how that balance is maintained, with the Resistance having to grow stronger, together with Rey, to balance the might of the First Order. I think we may see Rey and Kylo going their own ways at the end of Episode 9, each to further grow the Light and Dark sides respectively to maintain that balance. And Snoke will then go into the shadows, once a balance has been struck.
What will it actually be? We will all know in 2019!
