I don’t know why it is so hard for them to grasp that you can’t have different people with different visions creating a trilogy of supposed “connected” films when the guy making the second one throws out the road map and just wings it.
Rian Johnson is a terrible writer and story teller who doesn’t know these characters or this universe. He made a beautiful-looking movie but the whole effort to subvert expectations wasn’t daring — it was just stupid and inconsistent with decades of established storytelling by filmmakers far more skilled then him. TLJ is a disjointed mess and the sooner Disney realizes giving RJ the keys to the car was a bad idea the sooner they may be able to move on.
They can’t really remake the movie, but they’d go a long way to righting the ship by removing the five seconds where Luke disappears at the end so they can bring him back in Episode 9 and undo the damage RJ has caused.
