I liked TLJ (not as much as TFA, or the OG trilogy) and the ending of LOST.

Anyone that has kids or enjoys a star wars from time to time will watch one of the originals and forever be triggered by this abomination.
Even the film considered the weakest, RotJ, has some great dialogue and pacing leading to Luke’s confrontation with Vader/Palpatine. You take stuff like “if you don’t join then maybe she will” with the music and the setup vs. kill the hate with love suicide plane and it’s just rape of our past.
If your past wasn’t raped by this, then you’ve been dead for too long already. That’s why we’re still talking about this shit. We are survivors

Montage of Ep 8 scenes (Mary Poppins, Crylo's mutant chest, the alien tits, and maybe Holdo saying anything at all) segue to Rey waking up from a nightmare on Luke's island. "Well that was dreadful". Ignore everything that happened.

Or stop caring about the series altogether as it was never going to work as a unified mythology anyways. It was a trilogy of decent movies decades ago, and that's all it needed to be.

He might throw it in there just to change the dialogue right now on Star Wars. He needs to make some waves.
This would be the single best way to change the tone of discussion. We'll see, as superbowl weekend draws ever closer.

I think Solo proved that there are enough “principled” fans that the opening weekend for Ep IX is going to be humiliatingly low in sales. If it happens to be redeeming (somehow), then word of mouth will get around from the less principled fans (and dads with older kids that drag them along). I have no idea how JJ could pull that off while still under the thumb of The Force is Female, but I wouldn’t say it’s impossible... just extremely unlikely.

If they did that, but it was Rey and Luke meditating during training and having a vision of what could go wrong based on their choices, I’d be okay with it.
Then they just do the real movie that was intended.

He did fight Kennedy to get TFA made.
They had some very serious blowouts regarding the TFA storyline. He actually fought the entire Force is Female story board room. So its likely he has additional freedoms since he already asserted and established dominance over them during the production of TFA.

they did a timejump for RotJ and it worked because it gave Luke the time to grind some levels and explain away his maturing between films. in this, who is training Ray? did they develop new rebel contacts? will need to see. still it feels gimicky.
They can try any trick in the book and it won't matter if they don't get rid of the primary faults (Kennedy/Rian etc...) first.

Tfa was kind of a prequels reset.
it's not a good place if they're resetting every second movie. Heh.
there are netflix miniseries that are the same quality as the OT, which is what makes the troubles with story and tone hard to understand. You know it's not a lack of competence. Pixar can make a wide appeal 90 to 120 feature every year or two. People just making some terrible choices. Stop a second and take the temperature of the room. He excited about the story and the money might follow.
Or just let star wars di e and admit it was a cultural phenomenon that no one can explain. A competent space opera that appealed to young adults and sold a lot of toys to their kids.

You missed the self improvement book she read while on the island. She also picked up the legendary texts, so that's obviously a +100 to Jedi'ing. She's a strong independent woman who don't need no man. /s
