Snoke looks more imposing here. And Andy Serkis has a great voice so hopefully when we see Snoke on screen again, he starts to convey a badass aura where you're legit worried for whoever is on the other side of his rage/anger.

Yeah, he's not human, I agree. Wonder if we'll learn what his species is. Through all the Star Wars movies, books, cartoons, we never learned what species Yoda was.I still say he ain't human.. hey wait a minute from a certain angle he looks hmh
Snoke does look like a Muun a bit, but not sure with the nose

Sounds like Disney will be pulling all Marvel and Star Wars content from Netflix, and launching their own streaming service sometime in the near-ish future

You could say the writing's on the wall they'd been shopping for a new director.

Just read the first issue of the Captain Phasma comic. It's a 4 part mini-series. First issue details how she escapes the trash compactor, and how she gets off Starkiller Base. Will put in spoilers, not sure if this will be explained in the Last Jedi or not
Anyway, the comic takes place over 6 minutes before Starkiller Base explodes. And a shit ton happens in that 6 minutes.
So if you think Phasma is gonna have a badass story of how she escapes the garbage, well it's not that good. During the fight with the X-Wings and Tie Fighters, apparently one of the blasts blows open a hole of the trash compactor, then Phasma uses that to escape.
She goes back to the computers, to delete the files that showed she was the one who lowered the shields so that the Resistance fighters could get in. She also finds out that one of the Lieutenants accessed the records while she was in the garbage, so this dude knows that it was Phasma who lowered the shields. She tracks him down, and gives pursuit out of the base. During this pursuit, she happens to see Kylo Ren duelling with Rey in their lightsaber battle.
The Lieutenant is heading towards a Tie Fighter hangar, and hops in one and takes off. She gets to the hangar just behind him, and orders the pilot of the remaining Tie Fighter to take her and track down the Lieutenant. In this moment, we're introduced to the that new BB unit, the dark one as it was doing updates to the Tie Fighter. They take off, and give chase to the Lieutenant as the Base explodes. Phasma is framing this Lieutenant, saying it was he who lowered the shields. She plans to kill him before he can reveal that it was all Phasma's fault that the Resistance could enter the base. First issue ends there, will be continued in the next 3 issues

So rumors of Colin Trevorrow being very cocky and difficult to work with going into the big Star Wars Ep. 9 movie.
Success of 2015’s Jurassic World seemed to have gone to Trevorrow’s head.. his way is the correct one because he shattered records with the movie that made 1.67 $ billions and re-energized the old franchise.
“During the making of Jurassic World, he focused a great deal of his creative energies on asserting his opinion. But because he had been personally hired by Spielberg, nobody could say, ‘You’re fired.’ Once that film went through the roof and he chose to do Henry, [Trevorrow] was unbearable. He had an egotistical point of view— and he was always asserting that. When the reviews for Book of Henry came out, there was immediately conjecture that Kathy was going to dump him because they weren’t thrilled with working with him anyway. He’s a difficult guy. He’s really, really, really confident. Let’s call it that.”

Wow, good riddance! We don't need that hot head bossing around my little DaisySo rumors of Colin Trevorrow being very cocky and difficult to work with going into the big Star Wars Ep. 9 movie.

Update: September 9, 2017
Rumored Details on Why Colin Trevorrow Was Fired from STAR WARS: EPISODE IX
According to a ranking Hollywood movie insider with direct knowledge of the productions on both The Book of Henry and Jurassic World (and who requested anonymity out of concern for sensitive ongoing business relationships), Colin Trevorrow’s firing from Star Wars: Episode IX may have come more directly as a consequence of being “difficult.”
“During the making of Jurassic World, he focused a great deal of his creative energies on asserting his opinion,” the executive explains. “But because he had been personally hired by Spielberg, nobody could say, ‘You’re fired.’ Once that film went through the roof and he chose to do Henry, [Trevorrow] was unbearable. He had an egotistical point of view— and he was always asserting that.”
Then, during preproduction on Episode IX, Trevorrow’s relationship with Lucasfilm top brass became reportedly "unmanageable" over the course of “repeated stabs at multiple drafts” of the script.
“When the reviews for Book of Henry came out, there was immediately conjecture that Kathy was going to dump him because they weren’t thrilled with working with him anyway,” the executive continues. “He’s a difficult guy. He’s really, really, really confident. Let’s call it that.”
Kathy, of course, is eight-time Academy Award–nominated Lucasfilm president/Star Wars brand manager Kathleen Kennedy, who found herself beneath the red-hot scrutiny of Movie Twitter in June after firing co-directors Phil Lord and Chris Miller from the Han Solo spinoff prequel. And in terms of that surfeit of self-belief, Trevorrow admitted to as much in an interview with Esquire in 2015. “Directors require a level of confidence that can border on the delusional,” Trevorrow said. “You have to push it right up to the edge of arrogance, but never cross the line.”
The decision to bounce him from the project ultimately fell to Kennedy, who, five years into her Lucasfilm tenure, is showing less and less compunction about firing or replacing directors she feels are temperamentally or creatively unsuited to the job, having also overseen the resignation of Fantastic Four director Josh Trank from another stand-alone Star Wars film in 2015.
“There’s one gatekeeper when it comes to Star Wars and it’s Kathleen Kennedy,” says a veteran movie producer, who has worked with the studio chief. “If you rub Kathleen Kennedy the wrong way — in any way — you’re out. You’re done. A lot of these young, new directors want to come in and say, ‘I want to do this. I want to do that.’ A lot of these guys — Lord and Miller, Colin Trevorrow — got very rich, very fast and believed a lot of their own hype. And they don’t want to play by the rules. They want to do shit differently. And Kathleen Kennedy isn’t going to fuck around with that.”

If you agreed to stay on a specific path with a studio and story then stay on it damn it, this ain't a damn indie movie.
You think they wanted to fire the Han Solo directors near the damn end.. imagine the shit they were filming and pushing it over and over until dudes this ain't Star Wars and it's not what we agreed on from the start.
Same with this Colin he made Jurassic World and was the big hotshot now look at him he made a bad movie and was removed from freaking Star Wars, imagine how big of thing this is, how many directors would jump at the shot to make a Star Wars EP movie, this stuff will be around for ever.
I'm happy they had the balls to do it, they took some heat for doing it but at least they did it fast with this one so it doesn't really have any big ramifications but maybe in the future make sure you share the damn plan 100% from the start.
