I always think of this trilogy as the beginning, middle and end of seperate trilogy ideas welded together. Its an incoherent mess. That gave us the worst ever Star Wars scene-- Poe's prank call. That was the moment I knew we were in trouble

Yeah, in some ways I see what Rian Johnson was trying to do. The problem was you don't do the "reject the past" message in the middle film of a trilogy. The Disney sequels just exposed Disney never had a solid plan for all three films, and JJ Abrams as a man who uses nostaglia as a cudgel for story. Frankly, I would've liked TLJ more if it committed to the "reject the past" message more. My complaint at the end of it was how it felt like it retreated back to the safe and comfortable within a Star Wars narrative after teasing that it'd go in new and unexpected directions, as if the studio had swept in and said "you're going too far, pull back!" Doing that would have at least left a dramatic hook to get me interested in a third film, since we'd leave the second film realizing that the old rules might not apply anymore...but nope, in the end things just felt like they were back at square one. I wouldn't be imposed to that if Rian had his hand over the whole trilogy. That way he could had controlled the story from beginning to end. He redeemed himself a bit with Knives Out and we know his early films were good. I do agree with you on RoSk being a major overcorrection.

That was the moment I knew we were in trouble Yep, as soon as that scene hit, I knew it was gonna suck It felt like something from a lame parody movie. Like if Epic Movie decided to do "Space Movie."

I mean Force Awakens had more than a few hints at Finn being force sensitive as well... which just vanishes. We still don’t know what Finn forgot to tell Rey He senses her death at Exegol after he's back on the Falcon. ...........it's not a real shock what that means.
