Yeah, I know about his cameo in those Insidious movies but I mean..... can you really consider those canon?

Even there with the red knights, Rey had to save his ass. She beat his ass, and she had to save his ass and then she beat his ass again.....this is Vader's replacement? How is any SW fan on board with this shit?
This movie was just missed chance after missed chance. There was so much cool shit they could have done.

you can thank disney, they have no fucking clue how to make a villain. (looking at you avengers, aside from thanos and even they might fuck that up)

I had actually liked the idea of Ultron in Avengers 2 and thought he could have been a very cool villain if they had invested more time into him and his existence. (I just rewatched that movie recently. .forgot how bad it was--thanks Whedon)
This is a problem with a lot of films though..and it's not just a Disney thing.
Too many movies focus entirely on the good guys and think that just putting up a giant orc, or dragon is good enough for a bad guy.
It's insane that writers, directors, etc STILL haven't learned this lesson.

What's the most famous line from Star Wars? "I am your father" who said it? The bad guy! Why is The Dark Knight loved as much as it is? It's not because of Batman....
If you have a great villain, it makes your hero and movie all the more better.
I really don't understand why studios constantly do fuck all with the bad guys.
Instead of 30 minutes at a casino and racing giant giraffes on steroids, we should have been learning about Snokes, the dark side, building up Ren to be an actual bad ass. Id then be a lot more invested and interested in how Luke and Rey would counter

That's an interesting perspective you have then, seeing how the EU was/is hot garbage.

Thrawn trilogy is hot garbage? Lol, ok pal.

I laughed out loud when Leia floated through space without a suit on and survivied.

Very underwhelming movie. No reason to handle Luke like they did.

Snoke could have been an interesting segment, then get's shown for a mere coupke minutes. We didn't even get to see him fight.
