I am pretty sure it was confirmed they had no plans. Each movie was going to have a new writer and director. That is NOT how you treat a flagship series. It needs to be planned out, otherwise yes you end up with "subverting expectations" and fucking everything over.It was literally improv yes. I don't even blame Rian Johnson for completely phoning it in with VIII. JJ Abrams did absolutely no setup and no worldbuilding and left no good plot hooks, just a bunch of stupid mystery boxes and an outright contradictory setting. Johnson saw that he had to make a sequel to a fucking JJ Abrams movie, said "nah fuck this y'all are losers, please stop it with the nostalgia pandering", and they fucking let him. Lest we forget, there was always someone in charge of the trilogy as a whole who could have hired anybody except for the one director in hollywood with no interest in star wars. Rise of Skywalker, however, is a masterpiece. One of my favorite movies. It's Plan 9 From Outer Space levels of bad but with a billion dollar budget. Absolute joy to watch. --- No longer guessing if I'm wrong it's your problem ... Copied to Clipboard! |
