Lol, no. The prologue section where the crew of the Enterprise saves the Nibirans is the only good part. That was classic Trek action, and loving ruled. Everything else that followed was dogshit written by a 9/11 truther.

It fit with the universe they established in ST09, that is, the part where Section 31 has more power since Vulcan got blown up so they work with the Admiralty to make a more powerful ship to counter the Klingons/other threats

It goes completely off the rails when they decide to do a crappy remake of WoK

With no basic answer! In short it's contradictory. Some NuEU materials have it start almost as soon as the OT is over. Others have it take years. Some have it literally be made of like half the Republic revealing they were FO all along. Others have them as some backwoods thing no ones heard of. There is no real answer because "The Bad Guys" is the most thought that was put into them for the films, and so none of the EU writers had anything to go on and had to make up their own excuses, all of which were different.

But if the story group doesn’t have real power, why would Disney make a big show of paying these five people to approve all the stories and make them sync up? They wouldn’t lie and disrespect all their greatest fans!

The millennium falcon will be blown up in the next movie.

However readers of EU material will learn that actually the millennium falcon moves to a different ship every decade and actually it's just fine, still out there somewhere, offscreen.

While Leia just stone cold stares at them in silence (both to shame them...and because they at least have footage of that and there's no new dialogue).

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Disney. I mean, if they hadn't killed my interest in Star Wars, I might be spending all of my money on movies, toys, games, and other garbage. I'd also like to thank CBS for killing my love of Star Trek as well for the same reasons. I'm rollin' in cash I totally wouldn't have had.

It's not that much money, though... :(

quote:

Maryann Brandon, a long-time editing collaborator of director J.J. Abrams, spoke with Express recently and revealed that due to a production time crunch, the upcoming “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker” had to get around to the editing stage during filming in order to stay on schedule.

Brandon tells the outlet she spent her time on set effectively never more than ten feet away from Abrams, the pair cutting the film as they shot. This allowed them to get the kinds of shots during the main shoot that meant they could cut down on the number of reshoots needed later.

“When we did The Force Awakens, we started in May and we finished shooting in October, and we were out [the following] Christmas. For this film, we didn’t start until August, so we weren’t done until February shooting – so we have four months less time, and it’s a very big film. So I convinced J.J. to let me cut on the set.

I had the DP right there to ask questions. If I needed a shot, or if J.J. decided we needed another shot, we would set up in a corner and get a green screen shot of something. Getting to know the cast and having them be comfortable with me, it was a really great way to understand what they were going through.”
