Yeah the movie issues really go back to one root cause. They needed to write and maintain a single cohesive storyline for the trilogy. Allowing the directors to also write the movies as they wanted without any apparent oversight AND switching them in the middle and back was where the issues came from.
JJ started a story, Rian came in and threw that out the window to do what he wanted, then they brought JJ back in, who basically finished the story he started, largely ignoring the middle. It wasn’t cohesive in any way and felt disjointed throughout because of it.
Yep, main movies are awful everything else they did ranged from good to great (although not watched acolyte). With some better than Lucas’ star wars, yet most people act like Disney ruined it. Without Disney, we’d be getting next to no star wars at all.
Visions was mint, solo was pretty good once you got past the different actor and the way he got the solo name, i enjoyed parts of obi wan, and until mando showed up and turned it into his show (even though it was probably the best episode) i was enjoying boba.
Rian didn’t throw out JJ’s story, that’s a myth made up by people who didn’t watch The Force Awakens. JJ put Luke hiding on the island while a war was on. Rian explained it. JJ created a plot of Rey and Kylo doing telepathy on each other. Rian expanded it. JJ introduced Kylo as the villain we care about. Rian developed Kylo’s villain arc and raised the stakes by giving him more power. JJ had the Resistance losing ground against the First Order for inexplicable reasons. Rian had the Resistance losing even harder for equally inexplicable reasons. Rian was 100% faithful to JJ’s setup. The only difference between the two is tonal, in that TFA cares about nostalgia and popcorn, while TLJ cares about philosophy and politics. There is no story dissonance between the two.
