How do you interpret Snoke's existence?

Meh. It was a bad retcon, but it is what it is. I still thought Snoke was his own being. I didn't take it as him just being a puppet. That said, I haven't put a lot of thought into it.

During this outbreak, I'm rewatching Star Wars chronologically every Saturday (except for Solo). I'll see what I think after I get to the end of that.
