Star Wars: The Last Jedi

There's very little detail given about the Empire's rise in the original film from what I recall. It's been a while since I've seen it, but I don't remember too much more than a general summary as to why they were there. The Emperor isn't seen until the second, and isn't a major player till the 3rd.

Even then, he's not the main villain. Vader is. Whether people like it or not, the Emperor was a tool to develop Vader as a character and give him a moment of redemption.

That's all Snoke is. A tool to further the plot and give the real main characters, Ren, who's clearly the big bad, and Rey something to do. Not to mention, trilogy isn't over yet. We don't know what they plan on doing in the next film. Snoke could very well be explained, even if briefly, in the next one.

Hinting at Ren's fall to the dark side has been a running storyline that's now played out but has not been completed in the last 2 films. But he's clearly the big deal here. Much like Vader was. Not the guy sitting in the chair barking orders at them.
