Got woke, when broke. Abandoned the story and lore that has made them what they were for decades. The stuff they are making now had it been the first would not have continued on for decades and would have soon been forgotten.
Daisy Ridley spilled beans recently on what was obvious - there was no storyline or plan to tell a story in the latest Star Wars trilogy - just made it up as they went along.
Main Problem - doomed to fail for me - No real heroes, Bad guys must be good guys, Good guys have to be bad guys deep down. Never feel good for too long because you know what is coming eventually...
“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.
80% was just redoing the first 3 movies.
