Ultimately the issue was lack of direction and not having a strong lead to oversee the direction of all three movies to make sure they are cohesive … instead of leaving it up to each director to do whatever they heck they want regardless of what happened. It’s like the opposite of Marvel’s style, which is why the Marvel cinematic universe is working.
Anyway, not to derail this into a discussion that doesn’t fit the thread for this fan edit as opposed to the other discussion threads, I am curious if any new ideas has come up with attempting a realistic Rey Nobody. I am on the fence still about it, but curious if there is any decent leads.
