I don't know what JJ should've done, but something better would've been preferable. Snoke shouldn't have died in Episode 8, and then you could have the reveal that he's a clone of Emperor Palpatine in the last one and he's the big bad.

They can go a long way to redeeming this in my eyes by saying that they used baby yoda (somehow) to revive Palpatine. It fits the timeline. The "empire" has him now. It could at least provide some sort of explanation rather than just hitting us in the opening crawl with....THE DEAD SPEAK! It would also strengthen the importance of the Mandalorian series/story.
