Is it just me or does Snoke’s portrayal in TFA not at all align with his portrayal in TLJ? I guess on first viewing it makes his death more shocking when he’s set up as dark and mysterious, but the minute you meet him in TLJ that’s all gone as he’s wearing lavish gold robes. I feel like his TFA appearance ought to be changed to reflect that but it’s probably beyond our abilities.
Yep. TFA Snoke is not TLJ Snoke. They’re two different characters by two different director/writers.
Since the character was made pointless overall, massive changes need to be made to either make them match. Problem is that the TLJ portrayal makes him out to be a joke, so that’s very very hard to reconcile. You’d have to heavily re-structure the entire pacing of TLJ and incorporate ROS’s aspects too.
