You know what. This abomination really put TLJ into perspective for me. I finally appreciate the story decisions Rian made in relation to Rey, Luke and Snoke. Rian opened JJ’s mystery box, discovered that it’s really just an empty shell, and made his own story. JJ went back to the old discarded box, and…the rest is history.

Some say that if JJ had helmed all 3 films the trilogy would have turned out better. In truth, we probably would have had to suffer through 2 rise of skywalkers instead of 1.
