743575, Right and that made each movie worse

with each sequel.

Like, TFA was okay. It was unoriginal and fell apart in the final act, but it did its job like you said.

The next one didn't really build on TFA very well and was more focused on tricking the audience/subverting expectations than telling an actual good, logical story that lined up with the previous one.

So because TLJ didn't really line up with TFA, TFA is actually worse off.

Then TLJ actually gets interesting and does some really cool/original things in the final act once it becomes an actual story on its own merit. It leaves a lot to address/build on/explore in the next one.

Had the 3rd one built on TLJ in a competent way, it would have really saved the trilogy.

Instead, we got a straight up horrible movie. Just not good. And it just hit undo on anything in the previous film.


Its not just that they didn't have a plan, they didn't even bother to try to make everything fit. Like at all.
