The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

      you falsely decided he was the big villain

      I guess you watched some alternative universe version of the first two films, because Smoke was 100% the big bad until he was killed off. You literally just acknowledged him as an Emperor re-tread lol

          him being an Emperor retread doesn’t necessitate him being the big bad. it’s just means he’s evoking notes of a previous character.

          “Evoking notes” of the previous character…who was the big bad.

              But you said J.J. Abrams was being “unoriginal” with The Force Awakens. In other words, copying the original film/trilogy. In the original trilogy, the Emperor is clearly the big bad and this is established in the first film. So if Smoke is the equivalent of Palpatine, as was also established in the first film of the sequel trilogy, he is clearly the big bad up until Rian Johnson kills him off prematurely. Your core argument here doesn’t line up.
