Kylo should have been in some “different” organization to start this trilogy, not just Empire 2.
This is true. If anything, I don’t give TLJ guff for throwing out ideas TFA set up. I’d more readily give TFA guff for setting them up in the first place since they weren’t all that great anyway.
Your film will not be made stronger if it torpedoes the foundation it is supposed to be building on. Even if the foundation is flawed.
But it doesn’t. TFA is not the foundation. The OT is. TLJ does not torpedo the OT.
TLJ starts exactly where TFA ended. Except it goes for something completely different in terms of themes and supposedly the story.
Yes. That’s why it’s good. It throws unexpected twists into the works to keep the story from being obvious.
It continues to mirror the OT, though.
No it doesn’t. It makes you think it will but then it suddenly changes tack.
