I still cannot goddamn believe the approach of all but one of the directors for this sequel series to one of the biggest and simplest franchises of all time was "but what if we winged it"

I keep saying, the Mystery Box is a huge con job he's pulling on both his bosses and the audiences and he actually gave a TED Talk admitting it in detail

If you just keep asking intriguing questions, and let people assume you've asked them with an answer already in mind, but really you have no idea, it's very easy to give the impression of being a very hardworking genius while actually being a very lazy idiot

Hell even the *ending shot* of TFA is this People had their socks knocked off by how epic and dramatic it was to end the movie on this huge cliffhanger of Luke just staring at Rey and the lightsaber for a long continuous shot and then cutting to black

Rian Johnson realized, almost immediately, that there was NOTHING he could have Luke say at the beginning of the next movie that would live up to the hype of this moment It was impossible JJ completely fucked him over with that cut

People get mad at Rian for what he did to Luke. But there was no way you could write Luke to not actually be an asshole all because of the way that JJ set it up.

RoS still tried though, with the "Luke was searching for the dagger but gave up" plot point.

Would have cost him nothing to be all "Hey I've an idea for the next movie involving an Indiana Jones treasure hunt could you really highlight this knife prop that will be important next movie?" Oh wait he winged it so he can't.

Yeah there's a whole other missing movie that's the prequel to TRoS that he gives us constant callbacks and recaps from that he couldn't actually make because TLJ took that slot

At least in the old EU when an author didn't like what the rest of the universe was doing they just fan wanked about Mandalorians for a while book.
