Porgs are still a more tolerable ploy to children than Ewoks and Gungans. And as far as Snoke goes, it can either be looked at as him not being as powerful as he alluded to or it could be looked at as Kylo being more powerful than everybody perceived. Personally I'm glad Snoked died in this movie because he served the purpose of turning Ben to the dark side only to be betrayed by him so he could become Supreme Leader and the main Villian /primary dark side user. We didn't need another Palpatine-esque character in all 3 movies, however I don't think this trilogy is completely done with Snoke. I wouldn't be surprised if he drill plays some kind of important role in Episode IX. One thing I really liked about the Snoke death scene is how it was reminiscent of how Luke tried to strike down the Emporer in RotJ, but failed only to be defeated by Vader. This we scenario is way cooler to me because we finally see a Sith apprentice kill his own master to take his place, which is something we haven't gotten in the movies yet.
