I don't think any plot threads were ignored.
Rian explored everything - Rey's lineage, Kylo's power dynamic, Luke's character arc, Resistance vs First Order.
In an unpredictable way. And I applaud him for that.
If you're left wanting more with Snoke that's too bad - I'm not sure he was ever going to be an interesting character. He only ever existed to feed Kylo's character.
He has as much backstory - more in fact - than the Emperor had going into Return of the Jedi. That's plenty, since Kylo is who we're really interested in.
I liked it, a lot. And it was better than rehashing old shit in a new wrapper. Period.
