For me, Snoke = Palpatine in the Original Trilogy. ... You didnt really know who Palpatine was until the Prequels were released unless you read material outside of the movie.

Yep. Seen that excuse (? Too Strong) get touted around the net too. (Unrelated note; This film seems to of had a rather polarizing effect, where it's absolutely loved or otherwise.) The difference between Palpatine and Snoke is... well... timing. In so many words, the Original trilogy was free to... whatever. Palpatine could be the big bad boss and nothing more, and it was good. Snoke on the other hand has the original trilogy to contend with.

At the ending of Return of the Jedi, Vader/Luke has brought balance to the force. Yet - Oh wait. Snoke. Well gee wiz. Does this really need an explanation why this little hiccup is such a big deal? That gaping hole that now exists - in CANNON. It's horribly unsatisfying.
