The Force Awakens and its follow-ups had so few memorable characters, it’s a wonder Disney – and Oscar Isaac – are still talking about potential spin-offs

TFA was perfect, it had mystery, and mystery, and mystery, and even nostalgia too!
It was only when TLJ explained some of those mysteries that suddenly all the pieces that looked like they weren’t from the same puzzle, and some of them weren’t puzzle pieces at all, and a few of the pieces were obviously colored with crayons by a confused child… That’s when it suddenly fell apart through no fault of anyone other than Rian Johnson.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never been satisfied by the reveal of a single JJ Abrahms mystery, ever. I don’t understand how he has such a career of failing upwards.

rise of skywalker is the worst movie I’ve ever seen… ever. It takes a lot for me to not like a film (I like almost everything). So when i say it was. bad, it was BAD

What was the path TLJ laid out? It killed off the main villain and left the trilogy with very few story threads to pick up on in the third and final film.

Well yes, but wasn’t the 7th film a reboot of the 1st? It doesn’t matter whether it was a good idea initially or not, the point is that changing your mind halfway through about who the big villain is doesn’t leave you with enough time to establish a proper replacement.
This is a third act story beat that happened during the second act. The reason why the Vader storyline works is because it has nearly three films worth of development before its big climax.

I guess you watched some alternative universe version of the first two films, because Smoke was 100% the big bad until he was killed off. You literally just acknowledged him as an Emperor re-tread lol

“Evoking notes” of the previous character…who was the big bad.
