Snoke's throne room

Snoke's throne room, situated on the Supremacy, served as the base of operations for Supreme Leader Snoke of the First Order. The throne room was protected by the Elite Praetorian Guard &mdash; an elite force of eight human warriors served as bodyguards

History
During the Cold war, in the year 34 ABY, Snoke communicated with his comrades General Armitage Hux and Kylo Ren via hologram, and later in person as they visited the Supremacy. It was also in his throne room that Ren brought Rey before him, and where his apprentice betrayed him, and killed him via igniting his grandfather's Jedi lightsaber through the Supreme Leader's torso. The throne room then became a battleground as the Praetorian Guard attacked the two Force-wielders in an attempt to avenge Snoke. Ren and Rey defeated all eight of the guards in a short but brutally close fight, setting the red banners ablaze in the process. Ren attempted to convince Rey to side with him, but she refused and they grappled over her lightsaber, eventually splitting it in two and releasing a huge burst of energy which knocked Ren unconscious and allowed Rey the opportunity to flee in Snoke's escape craft.

General Hux later visited the throne room after the Supremacy suffered catastrophic damage via the Raddus entering light-speed in front of the ship, where he was distraught to find Snoke's bisected corpse and Ren's prone form. Hux briefly toyed with the idea of assassinating Ren, but put the idea aside when Ren awoke just before he could. Ren proceeded to pin Snoke's assassination on the conveniently absent Rey and then claimed the title of Supreme Leader for himself, seizing Hux in a crushing Force choke when the man protested and forcing him to submit to his authority.

Behind the scenes
Snoke's throne room was created and developed for Star Wars: Episode VIII The Last Jedi, the eighth film in the Star Wars saga, which was released on December 15, 2017. The throne room was first revealed in the Force Friday II toy and action-figure previews released on August 31, 2017. The first footage of the throne room was released in The Last Jedi trailer on October 9, 2017.

The design of Snoke's throne itself was inspired by a concept art for Emperor Palpatine's throne room featured in Episode VI Return of the Jedi, designed by Ralph McQuarrie &mdash;the legendary conceptual designer responsible for many of the designs and aesthetics featured in the original trilogy.
