    With recent news that Serkis is using a "Kongolizer" (ref. from King Kong movie when Serkis played Kong) and standing on a 25 foot tall podium when he is acting with the others (like Kylo and Hux), is a tall tale sign that Snoke is a very tall being like the height of the podium. I've done some (not a lot) camera support work in Hollywood and for actors to have to look up (by 25 feet) to look someone (like Serkis) in the face is a sign that the actor's character is just that tall (just like in Kong).

    That type of view is my guess....No way is he over about 9 foot tall... Serkis already said Snoke was handy with a lightsaber.

    yeh i think that the podium reference was just a passer-by thing. maybe he got on a podium to just get into the character/domineering state that his character portrays. i think that matches up with the other, more direct ways he described the character. i mean, not that this fully disproves anything, but imagine climactic fight between Luke and Snoke or Snoke vs anyone and just how ridiculous that could look (and imagine him wielding a light sabre ?) if hes 20+ft high! id say 8-12ft would be suitable/realistic, though theres enough people voting the 20+ft that show it has support. (much to my dismay lol)

    I'd like to see a Snoke version of the Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm-Flailing Tubeman. I would buy one.

    That was my first thought as well.

    I think Serkis is offering a misdirect in the interview. It reads to me like he's on a platform looking down on Ren and Lux similar to the scene in Return of the King where Saruman is talking down to Gandalf and the others from the roof of Orthanc. It's not so much a height issue as a distance issue.

    I'd say he's "UP TO" 8 feet. Don't think he needs to be any taller than that.

    Kwa. 3 metres tall, blue skinned, telepathic. Ancient, before the Jedi even existed.
    They used technology that enabled them to travel long distances in moments and also used this same technology as superweapons that were capable of destroying entire solar systems

    Its by McQuarrie for the original series of BSG, but like all his work its very interchangeable. The concept for the BSG episode Gun on Ice Planet Zero had many similarities with what followed in TESB and the rebel base including the Ion cannon.

    I'd love it if Snoke is a tall, humanoid, Grendel-like character, just with less of the unbridled rage and a lot more intelligence. Huge, disfigured, insecure and seething with hatred.

    I'm gonna say, go big or go home... Not only is Snoke 20+ feet tall, he has lizard-like features because he's a freaking SPACE-DRAGON!

    Making Snoke 20+ feet just doesn't seem to add anything to the character to me, except a logistical headache. I went with under 8 feet: I think it's probably a misdirect.

    Don't forget, Star Wars has an established device to make characters appear physically larger than they actually are: Holograms!

    I actually wouldn't be surprised at all if Snoke appeared exclusively through holograms in TFA. Much like the Emperor in the OT, he may reside in isolation for at least the first film.

    ****, I think it would be awesome if one of he bad guys was a giant about 25 tall. Like to see how a battle with him would go.

    As is, he's probably like 8 to 12 feet tall.

    My hope is right around 8 ft, so I voted for "under 8 ft". I'm not a fan of these rumors of Snoke being 25 feet tall. Even 10 is pushing it IMO. I'd like to see him be able to interact with other characters without it seeming ridiculous.

    I think he cut his own legs off as a tribute to Darth Vader, then got 20-foot stilts for legs.

    Up to 8ft or somewhere around. I mean if he's 20 feet tall then my gosh....I mean I won't lie, that would be pretty sweet to see but realistically is.....well....ridiculous.
    Then again, I'm mentioning realism in Star Wars...so....
