With Snoke we didn't even get that kind of info, and it is far more important because we aren't diving into an unknown universe like we did with the original trilogy. The audience expects some details between when we last saw our Jedi friends celebrating the downfall of the enemy, to now when an entire new evil empire has arrived. If they could have pulled it off in 20 seconds of dialoug, then that would have been all the better.

The question is whose failure was it? To me this should have been a piece of Dialog between Ren and Hux in Abrams movie. Instead Abrams decided to play "lost" with mysteries within mysteries within Luke's lightsaber. I find that many of the criticisms of the Last Jedi are really criticisms of TFA and caused by Abrams creating mystery without answers instead of character building.
