I agree. But I'd argue that it truly went off-the-rails with RoS doing the same exact thing to TLJ.

You can almost justify "weird tonal shift second film" by having a third film that fuses the two themes. But that's not what Abrams did. RoS was just... so obnoxious.

That's fair. It definitely seems like Abrams tried to shove two movies worth of content into one rather than rewriting his movie to adapt to everything Johnson did. Although I can imagine some of that being a byproduct of production schedules and sprinting towards starting principal photography with the script they had rather than taking the 6 months or how long it would take to do a full rewrite.

Ultimately this all could have been resolved with some sort of top-down oversight, though. Independent of to what percent you might Levy issues on Abrams versus Johnson Disney is ultimately at fault for not keeping an adult in the room to force them to play nice.
