I think that the DOTF script was a better direction in the story to go…I wish we could read a more revised script because the one floating around needs alot of work in dialogue and some plot decisions. I’ve never seen a Colin Trevorrow movie that was filmed well or seemed like they had a good director present…so I think he probably would have delivered a weak looking SW film, even if the story beats sound better on paper. I also don’t know if we would have found DOTF satisfying as an end to that trilogy. It’s just a flawed tale right from the start with TFA. Something tells me if they still went with DOTF we would still be unsatisfied with the whole purpose of the ST and would have nitpicked it to death…then STILL come to the conclusion that the ST was all unplanned and riffed the entire time. And I have no evidence that Colin can make an epic movie work out.
But yeah, it’s a better script than TROS…by a long shot.
