Not the person you replied to, but...

When the sequel trilogy first came out, I was upset because it could have been a lot better. Looking back on it, though, I think that was a combination of nostalgia and high expectations. That's the problem all sequels struggle with, really, and the sequel trilogy didn't hit the mark.

Of the three, The Last Jedi was actually my favorite. I didn't particularly like what Abrams had done with the first one, and while I didn't think switching directors in the middle of a trilogy was a terribly good idea, I felt like I could kind of see where Johnson was going with it.

With Abrams, I felt like he was trying to recreate the original trilogy. Use a tried and true formula that worked and not scare the audience too much. It was bland. Uninspired. Corporate. Johnson seemed like he actually had a story to tell. It might not have sit well with the fans - he might take a big swing and miss - but at least I felt like he was trying to create art instead of merely making money.

Honestly I kind of would like to see Johnson's take on a full sequel trilogy.

Obviously if I could have picked anyone to take on the chief creative direction on the sequel trilogy I'd pick Dave Filoni, but that's neither here nor there.
