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

Rise of Skywalker is the worst, because they couldn’t decide between ignoring Last Jedi or retconning it.
Half of the movie is Abrams making a sequel to a middle movie that was never made, and the other half is trying to please upset fans who hated Rose and the idea that Rey could be special without being related to some kind of franchise royalty.
In the end, they had an aimless film with no story direction that flipped between a confusing mess and some kinda fanfic hate letter to Johnson.
They had an aimless film because Johnson ratfucked them and Fisher died. Like I say, they were in an impossible position.
It would have helped if they went into the thing with a unified vision 1-2-3, but they didn’t even do that and they still would have been screwed by Fishers death unless they thought ahead and managed to film all her scenes at once.
