J.J. Abrams Admits the Obvious: Disney Didn't Have a Real Plan When They Made the New Star Wars Trilogy

“Having a plan I have learned–in some cases the hard way–is the most critical thing, because otherwise you don’t know what you’re setting up."

Thank you, Disney for continually reiterating that having money doesn't make one smarter, more creative, or more capable. Fucking hilarious shit.

      It just kind of lazily wraps everything up to get it over with. Anyway, my point was that these big franchise movies aren't generally planned that tightly unless they're Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings which were all made at the same time

      I do agree that Rise of Skywalker was a laughably bad movie though- I wonder how much it was just due to JJ's incompetence and how much of it was some ill-advised course correction due to fanboys collectively shitting their pants about TLJ

        Absolute champ Patrick H Willems just did a video on third entries in trilogies that touches on this
