Had they shown an image of Snoke reaching towards Luke from Ben’s eye, it could’ve patched up the entire concept, with minimal damage to the self-disgraced Luke angle.
I’m so lost what you mean by this. You’re saying Snoke should reveal himself influencing Luke? That doesn’t make sense; why then would Kylo serve Snoke in the first place cause now it sounds as if Snoke was using Luke to kill Kylo. I don’t get it.
