We'll see. They're already beginning to lay out a familiar plot line in the TFA prequel books.
A young dark haired, pale skin boy was found the desert planet of Jakku by Chancellor Palpatine and given a purpose. He quickly rose up the ranks of the Imperial Navy after Palpatine declared himself Emperor. No one knew who he was or how he ascended so quickly but after the Empire's loss at Endor, he assembled the remnants of the Imperial fleet in the Unknown Region, which Palpatine thought was the source of the Dark side and began the First Order.
The books have all but stated that Admirial Gallius Rax, a Darkside Force user, who created the First Order, is Supreme Leader Snoke. It won't be surprising when it's revealed in Wendig's final novel of the trilogy.
That sounds way to similar to Palpatine's rise to power, IMO.
