“there was no storyline or plan to tell a story in the latest Star Wars trilogy”
That’s not really true. JJ Abrams had an entire trilogy mapped out with the plot threads set up in the first movie, but they fired him and Rian Johnson intentionally burned everyone one of those “setups” so they had nothing for the third movie.
Nope...there was no story treatment from the very beginning. Abrams was never fired. He was a terrible choice from the beginning...but that’s another topic entirely. Johnson was an even worse choice.
