    He did write and directed it but he was still under Kathleen’s watch. She has admitted they had no overall vision for the trilogy and just winged it.

    personally, I think Rise of Skywalker is the weakest of the three.

      Totally Agree, I just blame The Last Jedi for that.

      Edit:

      aaaand. I also blame the fandom.

      Rose was part of the story by the end of The Last Jedi. Whatever opinions fans had about her sudden appearance, I take personal offense that Disney caved and relegated her to the shadows for Rise of a Skywalker, replacing her with another love interest for Finn. That’s just bad story telling and kinda spineless. The character and the actor deserved better.

      That added to the narrative whiplash and tone shift in the trilogy and it 100% didn’t have to be that way. It was capitulation and it further hurt a narrative that was already hurting from all the twists of the previous movie.
