[QUOTE="Snaketibe, post: 507712, member: 7379"] Very well put. And I believe you are indeed correct in that Rian was given an outline which he threw away. I've also heard that he had his script for TLJ effectively all but written before he even saw TFA! I'm not absolutely sure if that's true, but it certainly could be judging by what he put on screen. Like you, I have no interest in seeing IX now. Disney really cocked up spectacularly by not having a Kevin Feige type genuine Star Wars fan in overall charge of things before commencing with Episode VII. Perhaps then that film wouldn't have suffered from the major flaws it has too; like you I enjoyed it, but would never have considered killing off Han or leaving Luke out of the thing for all but the last 10 seconds, or including a whiny Poundlound Darth Vader wannabe, and Rey should absolutely not be so adept at using the force without a single second of training! To have her fight and defeat Kylo Ren the very first time she picks up a lightsaber is absurd. But more than that, Disney have allowed their employees to join in the chorus of ignorance in damning anyone and everyone who doesn't like TLJ. The vanishingly few genuine loons and assholes who disliked the film because they're racists or sexists have been given all the headlines, and then everyone else who disliked the film for other reasons gets tarred with the same brush! I'm not sexist or racist! I dislike the film because in my opinion everything about the story and plot sucks, not because it happens to star some people who aren't white males! It's insulting beyond words, yet Disney have refused to even acknowledge the legitimate concerns of disappointed fans like me who don't like the film, and instead allow others who've never met me and don't know the first thing about me to call me a sexist, misogynist and racist! Making a film that divides opinion is one thing, but insulting anyone who doesn't happen to like it is ridiculous and childish. [/QUOTE]
