I’m sure they all did their jobs. But there competency as storytellers is laughable in many instances. It’s not really a conspiracy to say that they rushed this out without a good plan. It’s certainly not the best possible outcome if you genuinely sit down and plot out where the unresolved threads and arcs could go.
Oh, sure, I certainly don’t mean to argue otherwise. I just thought the article did a good job of addressing the idea that the TROS team deliberately set out to undermine TLJ in response to all the Fandom Menace horse shit (a theory that I haven’t seen too much of here, to be fair, but that’s all over Twitter)
