Rian Johnson is a great director, not so much when it comes to writing.

Because Breaking Bad made the toxics feel like men, and Star Wars did not.

Brick and Knives Out are great. Looper is pretty solid. Brothers Bloom sucks yeah.

Pretty much only niche internet gaming communities seem to have an animosity towards TLJ.

I think he just tried to make a unique mark on star wars since it was his biggest project yet. He was unique for sure but in an aweful way. But his one fuck up doesnt take away from his other projects, just ruined any chance at a decent story arc on star wars.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

I've heard great things about Knives Out, and I absolutely loved Ozymandias for how it hit me emotionally. Looper was also not that bad, but not good enough for repeat viewings.

I think the problem was giving him the second movie in the trilogy and the fact that he was 100% trying to please Kathleen Kennedy with almost every scene going by the commentary version of the movie.

I'm betting if he had done his own non-related trilogy, no one would have a problem with him. He could probably bring tons of great ideas. But it's obvious that while JJ acted like he okayed everything in TLJ, even to the point of going back and changing his TFA ending, and then totally going against TLJ with TRoS speaks volumes about him also not really liking where it went. I think the final bad was always going to be Snoke. And I think Palpatine's granddaughter was also always going be the case. She fought Kylo Ren exactly like Palpatine did with Mace. You could see it even back then. Palpatine actual was added simply because of Snoke's death.

I still think its the fault of the Disney higher ups who didnt give an outline for how they want the sequel trilogy to run. I had no issues with what Rian did to change it up. (I hated the Finn storyline though)

There needed to be a second writer to fix Rians script.

Because he didn't insert a 20 minute B story about Hank's wife going to the Indian casino looking for a guy to fix her GPS unit, like he wanted to but was strictly denied by Vince Gilligan.

Is this true?

It's hard to ruin something that George Lucas already ruined.
