People excusing The Rickrack of Skywalker with "what else could JJ do after Last Jedi" are truly, truly, the worst shillers. He could have done literally anything else. He could have made an actual movie. He could have sat down with a team of writers and taken the time to "sort out the mess" if such a mess existed. If it was unsalvegable as some people seem to think, Disney could have stepped in and changed the release plan so that people all over the world were not made to pay to watch a fake movie.

Literally nobody forced him do a c-tier writing plan and bring back the franchise's most popular villain from the dead. Nobody forced him to do an insane macguffin after macguffin hunt plot. A fucking knife that folds out to reveal a certain configuration of crashed materials that was rusting away in salt water and wouldn't stay the same, all to find a weird thingamagic that has the magic power to take them to the McEvil planet. What the fuck is this sunday cartoon plot? I guess I could understand people making this criticism if he made an actual movie that failed to be good, but what he did was ask a team of twitter researchers "what did people dislike about Last Jedi?" and then wrote a script based on correcting as many of those perceptions as possible.

He even wrote Rose out of the movie into an E-plot background character. I don't like Rose, but you know... write her better and she's fine. The way the character was treated in Rumble in the Skywalker was basically a reward to all the shitty humans who abused her actor online. They got exactly what they wanted. But I guess there was nothing else he could have done. His hands were tied by Rian Johnson.
