honestly. The Force Awakens is just a rehashed episode 4* because Disney didn't want to risk a poor re-introduction to Star Wars. The Last Jedi was a bigger risk, but by the time Rise of Skywalker is over, you realize they just threw away all the important ideas of the previous film. which makes me question why a version with Fisher would have more conviction or less pandering.

* which I still really enjoyed, because the possibilities for the new characters seemed so great at the time. sad to see how their arcs end up.
