While the StarWars sequel trilogy started with plenty of promise, it ended with audiences wishing Disney had done many things differently.
The Star Wars sequel trilogy was a divisive return to the galaxy far, far away. While it held so much promise with the success of The Force Awakens, subsequent films became the target of hate and ridicule from fans and critics to the point that everyone’s hopes for the franchise seemed to have been dashed .
Having audiences wait longer for each film after Episode VII would have made them even more excited to see them and possibly get more people to see them in theaters. It could’ve also given the filmmakers more time to take in audience feedback and make any necessary changes to their story plans. After the fallout from The Last Jedi, Disney sure could’ve used an extra year to figure things out.
5. Keeping Palpatine dead While audiences were hyped to see Palpatine’s return in The Rise of Skywalker, his resurrection ended up being a rushed job that ruined the film for many as soon as it began. There was hardly any explanation for how Palpatine survived his death in Return of the Jedi, with only vague references to cloning and secret Sith powers spoken in the film.
Thus, it would have been more effective to depict Kylo Ren as the highest force of oppression in the galaxy and explore how he would lead the First Order against the Resistance in Episode IX. It would’ve also brought greater attention to his relationship with Rey, as they would’ve served as the ultimate symbols of good and evil in the galaxy.
2. Having a more singular vision While the first six Star Wars episodes were determined by George Lucas’s plan for the franchise, the sequels seemed more like a clash of opposing ideas. Three different directors were initially hired to direct a film in the new trilogy: J.J. Abrams, Rian Johnson, and Colin Trevorrow. While the original trilogy had multiple directors, its story was written by Lucas, and Episodes VII to IX had plots developed by their respective directors.
