Would have been interesting to see JJ and Rian take up the script for episode 9, with one of them taking the director’s chair.
It would’ve been interesting for Johnson to take care of the script and Abrams to never touch another script again… he’s a beautiful visualist, but sacrifices story for shallow imagery every time. Some of the imagery from Rise of Skywalker is amongst the most beautiful crafted for any film, even beyond Star Wars, but a lot of it is wasted.
