Was notoriously stronger than kylo and all it took for him to die was a distraction... I wonder if Disney / JJA had any different plans for him on the previous movie

I thought Snoke was a silly rehash of the emperor when I saw TFA. I was glad to see him go...I hope. But would have been happier if he was never introduced.

He was the only reason for the existence of the new empire! To kill him without any background and in such an unauthentic and stupid way is simply braindead script writing.

The ridiculous death of the supposedly powerful Snoke after such a big build up in the Force Awakens was just ONE of the many disappointments of The Last Jedi. You gotta wonder what they were thinking when they wrote that and then filmed it. Did no one at Disney say "hey, doesn't it seem a little off for him to be killed so easily. I mean we're creating another Palpatine right, so having him cut in two by his spoiled brat apprentice might be tough to sell".

This was by far the biggest disappointment of the film. It was set up to the point where we were going to get a big reveal about him and it did seem like JJ had something in mind for him but Johnson just completely shut that whole thing down.

I'm trying to go for an engaging, funny youtube channel so, if you have the time, take a look. Hope you enjoy what you see and if you have any thoughts or criticisms, i'd love to hear them. Thanks in advance. A review of the movie here-https://youtu.be/nerCnafPUm8

It seems Lucasfilm is already teasing that Snoke may still be alive:

22.) The form we see Snoke inhabit may not be his true self. There is a mention that he disguises his actual appearance and projects his form. Or, it can also be taken that when he does Force project himself, he just makes himself bigger.

Thats why his sliced cadaver lay around for hours at the room? :)

Luke projected Han's dice even after he died, allowing them to sit on the floor until Kylo found them before fading away. They were also solid, unlike Luke.

reply

[–] Quint (957) 7 years ago

A few dices, but not his dead bodies ;) . That was gone instantly.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

Yeah but if the dice are done solid, then so can a body.

The fact that the dice hung around after Luke had passed on, that's very weird, much stranger than Snoke's body laying around if it was a projection.

Well if they try to bullshit their way out of this hole by pretending Snoke's death wasn't real, the anger over The Last Jedi will just be a taste of what's to come.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

In all seriousness, I agree, there's really no reason to bring Snoke back.

reply

[–] Frogarama (12942) 7 years ago

You gotta wonder what they were thinking when they wrote that and then filmed it.

Especially considering he was literally defeated by a play on words.

You'd think he would be able to feel Kylo using the Force right there.

Boy, you must have had those underoos in a bunch when Darth Maul, the supposed BIG BAD of the prequels, got sliced in half by a padwan.

reply

[–] tanyalawrence (352) 7 years ago

Darth Maul wasn't the BIG BAD of the Phantom Menace, Darth Sidious was. He was also the APPRENTICE of a Sith Lord. Try to keep up.

reply

[–] TJLamb0518 (3316) 7 years ago

tanya, you only knew that once you saw the films. Remember all the promotional materials? I do. That red horny bastard was all OVER them.

Also, by your thinking, Vader wasn't the big bad in the original trilogy because of the Emperor. Surely you don't think that way, right?

reply

[–] tanyalawrence (352) 7 years ago

People only ever know what's in a movie until after they see it.

They certainly don't wait 19 years to claim that promotional material released beforehand is anyway relevant to what they eventually saw on the big screen.

How about the initial Rogue One trailer which shows an entirely different film to the one that was actually released.

reply

[–] TJLamb0518 (3316) 7 years ago

Kind of HAD to wait to mention Darth Maul since the point relates to Snoke. I guess I could blame the studios for not promoting Snoke in 1999....but that seems harsh.

All I'm saying is in both cases they did a little artful misdirection to make you think a character was going to be prominent when they in fact were not.

I wouldn't be surprised if that was not the end of Snoke. Seemed way too easy for a guy that was supposedly the most powerful bad guy in the new trilogy.

reply

[–] Conan1982 (53) 7 years ago

I am such a hopeless fool that I actually thought he was going to recompose himself together as if nothing happened.

I mean, where's the surprise ?

I knew he was going to get stabbed, they showed Kylo force-moving the sabre : how could you not see it coming ?

The surprise for me would have been that he survived.

He sure was butt ugly. Needed some plastic surgery there.

My theory is that he is a "body jumper." He is a spirit that needs a host, and jumps to a new body when one of his old bodies is killed. That's how I imagine them brining him back in 9.
