That’s right. People are taking this way too seriously.
You need to rethink this as if there’s only 4 preceding movies. Not counting rogue one because it didn’t feature any force users except as a cameo.
Tell me how anything that happened in this movie isn’t consistent with episodes 4-7. Literally nothing.
Just because it wasn’t explicitly explained doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. Especially not when we saw similar stuff in the previous movies. Reading feelings, controlling minds, lifting people, shooting lightning, controlling objects, sensing other force users, disappearing into a force ghost upon death were all already seen.
So what’s new in this movie exactly? Force projection? Seems in line with previous stuff we saw when you consider Luke is now a Jedi master. Reading minds? Already been shown not everyone can do it. Maybe Snoke read a different Sith book than Vader and the Emperor did. We know they learn from texts and passing of knowledge. Maybe Snoke had a better/different master than Emperor did.
And Star Wars has never been known for twists. It had one and people are projecting that to mean every movie needs one.
Neither of the lack of reveals were important because the filmmakers never framed them to be important. It’s people making #### up that are disappointed. The movies never even hinted that you should expect a twist or big reveal.
