The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

    Yeah, because he killed Snoke. He could have expanded Snoke story in 2 leaving the 3rd movie to resolve it, instead he killed him for... reasons... leaving 3 to go "Well, fuck us, right?"

    I don't accept that the only conceivable option was to bring Palpatine back. I strongly suspect that 3 10 year olds in a room could generate a superior premise despite the constraints.
