potboyOh… that’s why Hux was panicking when Snoke died. It wasn’t because he was worried about Kylo at that point because he clearly expected Kylo to be panicking too. It must have been because Snoke was the one who controlled the Navigators - I forgot about them. Hux remembers the early days of the FO wandering in the Unknown Regions when they didn’t know where anything was and they weren’t able to avoid all the dangers of this weird space, and they therefore “suffered great hardship,” according to tie-in book canon.
Then Snoke came along with his Navigators and suddenly they were able to find food and resources and avoid all the traps and dangers.
I bet those early days of wandering unknown space while starving and running out of fuel (and while Sloane fought the other Admirals for the leadership) made a big impression. It’s not that he particularly liked Snoke, he just doesn’t want to go back to being lost and starving.
