Current Events > now i understand why rian did what he did with snoke in episode 8 (spoilers)

(+) Yeah! (+)

he made him overpowered in force powers on screen so it would have been unrealistic to have kylo and rey team up to beat him because he would just take them both down with ease. he dun goofed in the writing department, next movie should have had luke and snoke fight it out, what were him and the executives thinking in writing this movie?
---

I like that Kylo was able to beat him with subterfuge
---

Fuck Rian Johnson

and since he got cut in half horizontally instead of vertically it means hell be back but his character is already destroyed.
---

I'm thinking Snoke's death is a misdirect. Also possibly setting up the big enemy for either Rian's trilogy or Episodes X-XII.
---

I roll my eyes every time someone suggests that what would have fixed the film is a Luke and Snoke fight.

yeah because something like that happening is out of the question, its not like snokes goal was to kill luke or anything.

So, was Snokes background elaborated on at all? Or did we really go from a big bad who was built up over so many movies to become the Emperor of a galaxy to just some guy called Jeff who decided to call himself Supreme Commander that everyone just decided to follow?

the big hint was the same music that was played in his scene with kylo in episode 7 was the same music played when palpatine was talking to anakin about plageuis in the opera house in episode 3. so if he is plageuis then he can cheat death twice so it wont sound stupid for him to survive getting cut in the waist, maybe hell come back and hes still so powerful kylo and rey will have to team up against him.

It's not out of the question, it's just such the safe and typical trope.

It's boring, far more boring than everything people complain about in TLJ
