I'm still stunned to this day that after paying billions for the franchise and a new trilogy, they never actually planned out a story to tell over said trilogy. They could literally do almost whatever they wanted, the universe was wide open. They could have adapted any number of EU works or written an entirely original plot. If it was set outside of the timeline, the universe was large enough that you wouldn't even have to worry about continuity.

Instead, we got a retread of episode 4, a reaction that the previous movie was too much of a retread, and a reaction that the previous movie was too different. They somehow made the prequels look like masterpieces in comparison.
