yikes Sheev Palpatine? Where do they mention that? Also was one of Rey's rando parents that they showed Palpatine's son/daughter?? I feel like they just kinda dropped "no rey....I....I AM YOUR GRANDFATHER!" Was Steve's son like what a muggle or some poo poo? Like the janitor guy in harry potter?

Anyway it was so that they could make her a Palpatine but also not contradict the whole “your parents are nobodies” which is true... ...from a certain point of view  Actually I think I would have been more forgiving of that twist if they’d echoed Obi-Wan’s bullshit

Mando is hired to kill a blind former Jedi only to realize those that hired him are the bad guys and with the help of the blind Jedi, who has a hidden lightsaber cane, takes them down. 16. Mando finds Obi-Wan Kenobi on Tatooine, has a drink with the Jedi, then angrily slams down his drink and gives him the finger after he unknowingly insults the Way. This is a lasting memory for Ben.

This trilogy had the same problem Lost did. JJ Abrams wrote the beginning and the end but let other writers take over for the middle and the ending didn't fit anymore, but it was still awkwardly tacked on.

If you're going to bring back a guy who was thrown down a space well into an energy vortex in a space station that was atomized minutes later, fine. We've got dark powers, teleportation of a sort, super weapons, ghosts, clones. You can do that in the story, if you put in the barest effort to lay the groundwork in the first two pictures of the trilogy. Tip your hand ever so slightly and give the audience some payoffs to actual setups instead of mystery box bullshit. The harder part is the thematic one, because you are resurrecting a character who's death marked the powerful ending of a two-trilogy story of a characters corruption and redemption. And you can still do that, but you you have to set up something just as juicy THEMATICALLY that helps the audience feel like it's not a middle finger to the story that came before and is a natural and dramatic conclusion to the new story. Harder, I can't really script doctor how this would work out of the mess that's the ST-- but I think it would have been possible. Instead literally nothing about the surprise third act sheevery makes sense narratively or thematically and the film and filmmakers and characters themselves know it and just give an embarrassed shrug and a reheated throwaway line from a marginally better movie in the series.

So let's say hypothetically you get to go back and have a do-over. These three movies are remade with the same principle cast, but instead of being handed off between two directors having a slapfight the entire trilogy is either entirely written/directed by one of JJ or Rian. Who would you rather want to make the whole trilogy according to their vision?

Rian of course, considering he’s made other good movies and tv episodes

Not a doubt in my mind Rian. There's stuff I dislike about TLJ but I still think it's the one with the most to say that isn't just jerking off your fandom boner. I'd love to see his ground-up treatment of a whole trilogy if he got a muligan.

Rian Johnson is creative and curious in ways that I don't think JJ Abrams is capable of.
