Thats fine, but he's still describing Palpatine, he still never had a motive in the OT, hes just the bad guy who stomps his foot. He still manipulated two people in to a situation that led to his own demise. He's still a bit part player in the story and not the focus. I have said before, I agree Snoke needed a backstory, but you can't rate TLJ 0/10 and your main complaint being they made a character with the exact same lack of motivation as Palpatine and then complain that Snoke lacked motivation.
