Well Disney's ideas were trash from the get go. But a lot of that blame goes to Lucas for selling his IP in the first place. He planned to release a sequel after the prequel trilogy was over, but instead of releasing a sequel he sold his IP to Disney instead. His excuse was that he was 70 years old, and he didn't have a lot of time to live so he had to sell it.

The real problem is the copyright laws. This is why you don't you want the copyright term-limit to be a lifetime + 70 years which doesn't make sense. It incentives content creators to take forever to release new content. They can release new content once every 20 years and they don't care because the copyright law encourages them to do that.

Nah the problem is Disney. Lucas gave Disney outlines, they threw em out to give us a bullshit OT 2.0.

Kathleen Kennedy not fighting to get the script/road map for the ST made is the person that deserves most of the blame. She was suppose to protect SW as it was entrusted to her and she put in a leadership role.

I dunno, I wouldn't have expected George Lucas to do a better job than Disney tbh.

He already did a worse job. People just like to pretend that a disjointed trilogy of films of widely varying quality and qualities is somehow A.) better than the prequels, which suck way worse than the sequels and are almost unwatchable unless you really, really like the worst aspects of Star Wars movies, and B.) not what the original trilogy was in the first place.

Not for nothing, but have you read Lucas' outlines?

Right?

It's actually jarring af going from ep 4 to ep 5 and watching pretty much every character drastically change offscreen, when they all had fully-developed character arcs anyway.

But what V did that made it work was... Well... It was a good movie, lol. Which 2 and 8 are not.

TFA had a lot of WTF things but if the sequels had given logical and good answers no one would be saying this. Yes there were many mystery boxes and questions to be answered but TLJ threw all the possible plot threads in the toilet making TFA retroactively a bad movie.

TRoS also seems to have thrown out the plot threads from TLJ. This is an ST trend starting with episode VII.

TC, buddy, that legacy was ruined a long time ago.

Somebody potentially being somebody's daughter or whatever is not a 'plot thread'
