There are even talks that the dialogue that Snoke says before he gets killed has predicted his own death and was ready for it. Something within the lines of strike him down and kill his true enemy?

I think not and it was just a simple boohoo that he force was focused on Rey and wasn't prepared for Kylo's betrayal as Kylo is facing him about to strike Rey, and shielded his thoughts well from Snoke.

Episode nine, will be interesting and not prepared if we see Leia taking out her lightsaber hidden all this while and starts training Rey. That would WOW me as it wasn't predictable but I dont think it will happen.

I didn't feel the movie was long at all. Also I think thats the end of Phasma?

To me this movie is 6.5ish, and could have done a lot better. I preferred Force Awakens.

My issue is the story seem to be disjoint a bit, is like JJ lead the way and Rian just did what he wanted, and JJ now is looking at what options he can do. I be very surprised if the story turns for the better, and like to be proven wrong.
