Could Snoke secretly be Darth Maul?

The theory that Supreme Leader Snoke could be Darth Maul is not supported by the official Star Wars narrative or credible sources.

• There are various fan theories and speculations about Snoke's identity, but none of them have been confirmed to link him to Darth Maul. Instead, theories range from Snoke being a clone of Palpatine, Darth Plagueis, a fallen Jedi like Mace Windu, or even a completely new character253.

• The official reveal in The Rise of Skywalker indicates that Snoke was a puppet created by Emperor Palpatine, rather than a character like Darth Maul25.

• Discussions and analyses from fans and creators, such as J.J. Abrams and other Lucasfilm personnel, do not suggest any connection between Snoke and Darth Maul3.

Therefore, the idea that Snoke is secretly Darth Maul remains purely speculative and not grounded in the official Star Wars canon.
