The only thing I want R2-D2 to do is turn on, show a hologram, and shut down. Last 2 movies did it, better not sure as gently caress break that streak now

The original actor died, what else could they do other than kill off the character entirely?

Some of it was his ex wife's editing work. But yeah, the early drafts of THE STAR WARS just read like The Hidden Fortress or whatever with a lame sci-fi veneer.

"the respected JEDI BENDU OF ASHLA were the most powerful warriors
in the Universe. For a hundred thousand years,
generations of Jedi Bendu knights learned the ways of the mysterious
FORCE OF OTHERS, and acted as the guardians of peace and justice
in the REPUBLIC. "

Plus some poo poo about protecting the king and princess

1-6 are a complete thematic arc and any addition to it was always going to have problems, which is why Lucas conspicuously didn’t follow it up. We’ve already done tyranny becomes freedom, we’ve already done freedom becomes tyranny. 7-8 portray a constant, almost meaningless struggle between freedom and tyranny because they have no trajectory left to explore without getting redundant.

Maybe freedom is the true tyranny?

The JEDI, disgusted by the commercialism snd exploitation of the EMPIRE, forge a revolutionary new path of ascetism and brotherhood. As the NEW JEDI ORDER rebuilds itself, elements of THE TRADE FEDERATION and BANKERS GUILDS have taken control of the NEW REPUBLIC senate. Star systems scramble to choose a side as an IRON CURTAIN descends upon the galaxy. . .

Yer right. A tricky scoundrel to the end. I'm thinking he turns into space Nixon, and ends up opposed by the jedis whom he watergates.

He is on very poor terms with Leia because he likes to use his "blaster" on young interns.

By the end of the last movie, though, Leia still fails to become Chancellor

rian johnson should make an ep 4 that undoes everything from ep 3 that jj undoes from ep 2. then i would legitimately love this series.

That is indeed the plan.

See, in the corporate world, if you are brought on board to finish someone else's project with the promise that you get your own project after this, if the new project is already clinched, you actually don't want to do too well on the other guy's project since you won't get all the credit. Far better to just torpedo it so you can move on to the thing you get complete control and credit for.

Was there seriously no one at Disney raising concerns about Last Jedi when it became apparent early in development what a massive dump Rian was planning to take on their trilogy plans? No grizzled executive saying "We're just now breaking even, how are we going to make a sequel to this hogwash let alone a dozen spinoffs if everyone is dead!?"

At this point my guess is that rian Johnson has some primo blackmail material because why would you promise not just the next movie but an entire new trilogy to that hack?

Right, he didn't want rey upstaged by Luke. In fact, there's a requirement that sequel characters beat the old actors they replaced.
