The development of the emperor in the prequels was great, seeing him go from shifty puppetmaster to full sith was probably one of the best parts of those three movies. That said I never craved a back story after watching 4,5,6.
I thought they missed opportunity with Snoke. I don't think it is worth going back and telling that story in Ep9 and I don't expect it. My only disappointment in lack of back story or maybe just more story is that I liked the character, and it would have been nice to see a bit more of him. I have faith that the over arcing storyline will pan out in 9 so I can live with it. The throne room scenes were great and brought us back to the standoff in ROTJ.
trading 5 minutes of the casino for 5 more of snoke would have been worth it, imo.
There is a ton of potential for 9.
