Snoke faz parte da Operation: Cinder?

Além do novo cânon do universo expandido em Guerra nas Estrelas , seguidores de conteúdo complementar estão aprendendo coisas novas sobre os últimos dias de Darth Sidious / Emperor Palpatine, incluindo que ele estava procurando por um "super weapon" ( Aftermath Trilogy ), interessado em "as regiões desconhecidas do espaço" ( Thrawn Novel ) e que ele deixou plano de contingência, Operação: Cinder ( Guerra nas Estrelas: Frente de Batalha II, Império Protegido ), para o Império MORRER sem ele, mas também para poder recomeçar!

Operation: Cinder first appeared in the second issue of the Marvel comic book series Star Wars: Shattered Empire, written by Greg Rucka.1 The second issue, released on October 7, 2015,[13] depicted the beginnings of the attack on Naboo,1 while the third issue, released on October 14, 2015,[14] showed its resolution. Operation: Cinder is further depicted in the story campaign mode of Star Wars Battlefront II, where the Imperial utopia of Vardos is targeted and the battle of Naboo is resolved. The events of the 2017 novel Aftermath: Empire's End, written by Chuck Wendig, revealed that Operation: Cinder was part of a greater Contingency devised by Emperor Palpatine to destroy the Empire and its adversaries so that it could begin again.[8]

Eventually, Snoke witnessed the rise and eventual fall of the Galactic Empire.1 What was left of the Galactic Empire fled to the Unknown Regions and took the shape of what eventually became the First Order. Although most of the Imperial officers would have likely perished while crossing this uncharted realm, the ancient hyperspace trails blazed by Snoke's retinue helped them to stay there and organize themselves. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Snoke

Então, a minha pergunta é: O 'Líder Supremo' é uma PARTE INTENCIONAL do Plano Darth Sidious?

The Chiss from the Unknown Regions

Sidious' interest in the Unknown Regions continued. This came to a head when the crew of the Venator-class Star Destroyer Strikefast, under the command of Captain Voss Parck, encountered the Chiss known as Thrawn in Wild Space. Many years earlier, Anakin Skywalker told Palpatine of this alien and how they worked together. This alien claimed to have a great deal of knowledge on the Unknown Regions. Thrawn was then brought before Sidious on Coruscant in order to be questioned. Thrawn told the Emperor of threats lurking within the Unknown Regions and how they might one day find the Empire and offered his military skills. Sidious then deduced that Thrawn's intentions were to help protect his people from these threats. Thrawn assured the Emperor that his allegiance would be to the Empire. **Thrawn then revealed that he had known Anakin Skywalker during the Clone Wars, thus proving who he was to the Emperor.**Many years into the Empire's reign...http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Darth_Sidious

Como questões secundárias: ele se relaciona com uma super arma que Sidious estava procurando e / ou Thrawn? Isso tudo está interligado? Quem está levando quem? Eu sei que pode não haver informações suficientes para determinar QUALQUER uma dessas coisas, neste momento, mas apenas no caso de haver algo que eu tenha perdido.
