You could say that bringing the Emperor is a good idea to end the Skywalker saga, but I also take it like an acknowledgement that they completely dropped the ball with the mediocre "villains" in those two movies.

The sad thing is that Snoke actually could have been a good villian.  Especially if they went the Darth Plagueis route, who was already said to have been able to influence life and save others from death with his power.  Instead, he became a big joke.  At one point he's made out to be one of the most powerful Sith, then the next he's cut in half with the most juvenile trick.

Definitely, I completely agree. I remember that some people argued the song used for Snoke during his first hologram appearance was the same used when Palpatine talked about him to Anakin in that coliseum performance thing in The Revenge of the Sith.

Johnson decided that it was more important "trying" to surprise people with Snoke's death than to keep a threatening and dangerous and the main antagonistic figure in the trilogy.

I have to admit, Snoke's death surprised me. But it did surprise me because even though you see the lightsaber moving and know that Kylo is going to try something, I expected a fight or simply an "attempt" against Snoke, I couldn't conceive the idea that they would leave this trilogy completely void of a proper villain but yeah, they went there...

HOWEVER! lol Let us not forget something: Palpatine gave Plagueis the Wise for dead. If the idea was to make Snoke be Plagueis, that means that Plagueis survived an assassination attempt or was capable of a resurrection after Palpatine killed him. So if they choose to resume the idea of Snoke being Plagueis in spite of Episode 8, then they can revive Snoke for episode IX with the same argument of why he was alive, as Snoke, in Episode 7 and how he is capable of creating life and "keep people from dying" which of course Palpatine said Plagueis couldn't do to keep himself from dying but maybe he actually got to do it somehow.

The only problem with the idea above though is that Johnson made Snoke's death very caricature-like, almost funny, and he made him look very dead in the shots of his dead body. So reviving him again and showing how he came back to life may look very forced and possibly jarring.

That name though, wow is that a shit name! Skywalker has already risen! Twice in fact with both Anakin and Luke. That title makes it sound like a prequel or something

You know, now that I think about it the name of the movie is indeed shitty, but being a hopeless optimist I kind of expect that name to have a nice explanation to it, even though up to this point and due to the way they have handled the Star Wars story, I know I should know better and not hope for much. lol



Nintendo is selling their IPs to Microsoft and this is true because:
