And Coruscant to tie into the PT. Why did they keep copping out? TFA I somewhat understand, but by TROS they knew fans wanted to see something more original.
So you wished they had gone back to Coruscant because… you wanted something original?
I think most people wanted a break from the OT retread. Part of that originality includes acknowledging the PT’s existence, and if the First Order in charge of the galaxy, the only reason they wouldn’t be based on Coruscant is because Disney is afraid of breaking from the OT’s shadow.
It seems like two separate gripes that you have that you’re conflating.
It’s a bit different, but both derive from the common thread: the ST (or at least TFA and TROS) are obsessed with recreating the OT.
I mean, I think TROS did a pretty good job in terms of new planets/environments. Only really Pasaana and Ajan Kloss could be considered ‘OT retreads’ or whatever (and even with Ajan Kloss we never spent that much time outside on Yavin IV).
