At this stage I am also not happy that he sold the franchise to Disney. I think he should have kept hold of it and simply allowed other directors to make new Star Wars movies for him with himself as Exec Producer / Assistant Director and story consultant or something like that.

I agree.
But if I understand correctly, he did reach out to Ron Howard to direct TPM but he declined so whether he really did reach out to people for collaboration but they told him “it’s your movie you do it” or people really did try to tell him “you need to fix this script before we shoot it” or “I don’t think this is a good idea” but he refused to listen, or none of the above who knows.
He was a consultant on TFA and made a suggestion to Howard while filming Solo. I didn’t hear him being a consultant on the TLJ, I wonder why?
