This new big bad comes around last movie and we're left questioning who he is and where he came from. Now he just gets killed in an instant and it's like what the fuck, what was the point?

Also I wish they weren't so hung up on "Wars" being part of the title. It's almost like they feel they need to double down on the war aspect of it, when really it's that universe that most of us are interested in in the first place. This movie felt maybe an hour too long because they just had to do endless battles that added nothing to the story.

Still wondering that.

Still wondering how we went from the end of the Empire to the current situation.

And it was a good movie anyway.

Right? That's the thing, like they totally skipped over the New Republic and the time of peace and prosperity they had and I have to wonder if it's because that isn't a WAR.

I mean I can see a pretty damn great concept for an action movie where the first hour is all happiness and good times in this awesome galaxy before shit hits the fan and it eventually leads to the downfall of the Republic at the end. You know, that method works great for Jurassic Park and shit, but no we just gotta fast forward to the middle of the next war where they're a small band of rebels again.

We didn't need backstory in the OT. Here we do because it's a sequel.

Who is to say that Disney won't produce a spinoff prequel that will cover his backstory?

Why should a spin-off be needed to establish basic character development? They have a term if that's needed: shit writing.

They certainly can but until then it's totally justified for us to wonder who the hell he is

It does kind of feel like you're going to need to read a series of comic books or something if you want to know anything about the new characters.

I was actually happy with the way his part in the story panned out. He had become too reliant on being freakishly powerful in the force and let his guard slip while his attention was on Rey.

But i am annoyed there was no explanation as to who he was, how he got there and why he's so powerful, all things which have clearly fascinated SW fans. At this stage it seems like everyone knows who he is in the story universe, so it's baffling that the audience is being denied that knowledge.

Snoke is like 10,000 years old. he is a Sith Lord from the days of the Old Republic and the Sith Empire. He has kept himself alive through mastery of the force. that's why he looks like he does. He didn't die when Kylo did what he did. and he will be back. the entire Star Wars saga has been all part of his master plan. He is after something, and he's been scheming and orchestrating events in the galaxy for generations

Maybe they purposely gave Snoke little backstory so that they can make a prequel trilogy dedicated to him

At first the Emperor was just the evil dude behind everything, but once they established how the Sith work and all that junk in later entries (Rule of Two, etc), it then leaves Star Wars fans feeling like something that should have been explained is being left out for no reason. For the general audience, he just fulfills the same role as Sidious did in the OT.
