10 Biggest Behind The Scenes Star Wars Mistakes That Ever Happened
6. Not Having An Overall Vision For The Entire Trilogy - The Sequel Trilogy
Sticking with the turbulent Sequel Trilogy for this next entry, and with the overall sense of this entire last chapter of the Skywalker Saga feeling like a number of brilliant minds all pulling in opposite directions.
Things got off to a decent enough start, with J.J. Abrams' The Force Awakens successfully juggling the heart some felt went missing during the Prequel Trilogy with cutting edge visual effects and a new set of leading characters. But then Rian Johnson opted to head in an entirely different direction to the one he was seemingly nudged down by the prior Episode VII director, instead pouring water on the all-important question of Rey's lineage and ambitiously trying to wander down the "anybody can be a hero" route.
On the back of Colin Trevorrow's Rise of Skywalker departure, Abrams was back again, and quickly set about course-correcting just about every element he didn't agree with from Episode VIII, letting loose grandpa Palpatine among many other jarring developments over the course of his limp nostalgia-fest.
All in all, the Sequel Trilogy as a whole felt entirely disjointed and thrown together in the end, something that would've likely been avoided had someone been trusted to forge or stick to a single and clear vision for the Episodes from start to finish.
