I don't understand how you spend $4 billion on a franchise, and don't properly plan a general idea of the story for the first trilogy you will be in charge of, that is coming at the end of two other trilogies


I don't understand what the sequel trilogy is aboutThe prequel trilogy is about Anakin's fall to the dark side as he is involved in a story centered on a government conspiracy, headed by a sith lord, that leads to a galactic war and the fall of the JediThe original trilogy is about Anakin's son saving his father and playing a vital role in the undoing of the iron grip the Empire held over the galaxy and hope for the Jedi order to be restoredThe sequel trilogy had to literally undercut what was accomplished in the original trilogy to keep the empire/rebel thing still going. It's like if a Lord Of The Rings sequel was made and the story was about a new ring of power being made, or the heroes winning the war of the ring had ZERO impact on middle-earth becoming a BETTER place. Something that completely underwrites the accomplishment of the original story.Without explaining anything to the audience when they walk in to see TFA, for some reason, the huge victories achieved in ROTJ didn't seem to amount to much because the empire evolved in the First Order and the Rebel Alliance, now the Resistance, are still grossly outgunned by the bad guys (especially by the end of TLJ), even after the classic trilogy showed that old regime was overthrownSo ignoring the undercutting of what the classic trilogy was about and accomplished, I still just don't understand what the sequel trilogy is about. It's just more empire vs rebel stuff? Is that it?The story is 2/3rds over and I can't tell you what the sequel trilogy is about or what it offers as the closing trilogy of a 9-part saga. The prequels offer the fall, the classic trilogy offers the redemption, what do the sequels offer?How was a general plan and general purpose of this trilogy never identified as they prepared the process for making these films? via /r/StarWars https://ift.tt/2PNhu1M
