6. Supreme Leader Snoke (sequel trilogy)

If you look up "disappointment" in the disctionary, Supreme Leader Snoke's name is the description.

Snoke was involved in the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, and he is a character who's as mysterious as he is unpopular, kind of like that weird family member at a reunion who no one really knows much about. He's this towering, scar-faced hologram guy who suddenly pops up as the big bad boss in a galaxy far, far away, taking the reins from fan favorites like Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. But here's the kicker – unlike Vader, with his deep backstory and cool, asthmatic breathing, Snoke feels like he was just thrown in there. He's like a puzzle with half the pieces missing. We were all left scratching our heads, wondering, "Who is this guy? Where did he come from? Why does he look like he fought a lawnmower and lost? Why was he taken away from us without us even knowing who he was?"

Now, let's talk about his screen time – or the lack of it. Snoke's like that special guest star on a TV show who's hyped up for weeks but then barely gets any lines. He shows up, sits on a fancy chair, gives some cryptic orders, and then – spoiler alert – gets chopped in half faster than you can say "I am your father." There's no backstory, no explanation, and no depth. For fans who love to deep dive into villain lores and work new villains into their favorite character spots, that was a load of bantha poop.

It's like the writers decided to build up this huge mystery, then shrugged and tossed it out the window. It's what happens when you let two completely different people take charge of a trilogy that feels more like a rough draft than what should be a seamless story. Fans felt cheated, like they'd been promised a gourmet meal but ended up with a half-eaten sandwich. Snoke had the potential to be such a memorable villain, but instead, he's remembered as the big baddie who wasn't really that big or baddie after all.
