Yea there is some sense in going over this given that JJabrams trilogy plans with Lawrence Kasdan have been leaked and known.

You can look into it just like the entirety of the internet. It’s okay we already know. Even if you are desperate to wave it off, via ignorance or obstinance.

His original trilogy plans weren’t prefect and kinda went off the rails at the end but the plan was cohesive and could’ve been saved.

But Rian Johnson specifically asked to throw out that whole treatment and do his own thing.

Hence you can see shit go off the rails for two movies and JJ desperately trying to shoe horn in his original plans to salvage the whole thing. You can literally see elements of his original plan in the last film but they make no sense because of the second film. It’s a shit show.

It’s a shit show and a total fuck up but yea there is no sense in going back and forth about this with you if you haven’t even considered half of it so stop bothering.

Why would somebody as force sensitive as Luke not know his best friend in the entire universe was killed by his son? Leia knew. Are you saying Leia is more force-sensitive than luke?

Jj Abrams did not understand the fundamental canon of Star wars. The force awakens completely ignored the logic set up in the original trilogy. Rian Johnson had to come in and create a movie that honored the logic of the original trilogy while also connecting it to the logical mess that was Abram's ham-fisted attempt. The last Jedi was perhaps the best execution that could have happened trying to correct Abram's ham fisted efforts.
