As George Lucas said about Anakin's scar,. "That's something for the Expanded Universe to explain. We put a scar on him to help the audience know that war has changed him, nothing more."

Snoke is Kylo Ren from the future, withered and dessicated from years of unnatural dark side techniques. That's why he's so focused on preventing Kylo from being "seduced by the light". Episode VIII will end with Kylo getting his head caved in, making him look even more like Snoke, and Episode IX will climax with Kylo laying down his lightsaber like his uncle Luke did while Snoke fades away like Marty McFly.

Please watch my two-hour YouTube video in which I discuss this theory in excruciating detail.

It's fascinating and a must watch. Based on a French novel with a script by Isaac Asimov.

It is, in a few ways, a lovely movie, but it has enough moments to me where the soundtrack and everything comes together and it's just awesome. The English cast is pretty crazy for the time it was made. Glenn Close, Jennifer Grey, Christopher Plummer, Penn Gillette and Teller, Paul Shafer and Bridget Fonda.

Also it as animated in North Korea like a small number of other things at the time.

Its main flaw to me is it has a few too many points where something is conveyed very clearly with the sound and visuals, but then like a minute later someone explains what just happened, making it at times feel too talky or like the characters are idiots, but I really like it personally. The same over explanation is used to much better effect when characters are describing what might happen in the future given the way the story goes. The direction the story goes with its antagonist was interesting to me also.

Personally I had a great time with it I have literally never met anyone else that likes it.

The same director also did Savage Planet as well as a short animated film based on another French comic called The Prisoner:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0uInFdJRUc

I like this one because the short comic was somehow very influential in Japan, a lot of the old school Japanese computer adventure games like Legend very clearly took a cue from the comic's (and other comics by that artist) visuals and one in particular, a very highly regarded and ambitious Japanese adventure game called Relics, is almost a (unofficial) direct sequel to it.

I just finished watching the whole thing. Maybe not the best thing to watch at work because of all the full frontal female nudity. But, it was very engaging. 70s scifi with a weird play on time travel. The over explaining feels like a symptom of being based on a book. I can often tell those are the narration from the novel being kept in despite the action being depicted. In other words, the book likely didn't go into detail of the action scenes since it wasn't the point and just had someone summarize it for the reader. The movie kept that in and hence the effect.

It's the strangest time travel plot since the opening pretty much admits the writer feels causality in time travel is more complicated than we think and that, once time travel is introduced, it needs to be expected that things won't logically flow as we're used to in our linear time line.

Also, all the biotech was pretty cool and, you're right, the villain twist was nice.

Anyway, Star Wars.

Yeah, they should have thought ahead a little when they made that incision. Sure, on a long enough timeline, scars can migrate a little as your skin ages but I don't think we're jumping ahead another 30 years.

Kylo disliked the scar aesthetically, but the Sith have a cultural rule about not removing scars (because they "record your failures in battle" or whatever), so he had a cosmetic surgery procedure done to move the scar to a different part of his face where it looked better. This actually ties into Darth Vader's disability - the Emperor was totally capable of fully healing him, but justified his decision not to based on the Sith cultural standards.
