10 Star Wars Mistakes Confirmed By The Creators

After the original trilogy earned itself the reputation as one of the defining movie trilogies in cinematic history, the prequel trilogy two decades later couldn't have been received much worse. Underwhelming would have been an understatement, until fans were given a new perspective on Episodes I-III by how poor the sequels were.

With complaints being aimed at almost every aspect of the trilogy, there is likely no shortage of regrets in hindsight, something that J.J. Abrams sums up pretty well in just one, enveloping regret of poor planning.

The director helmed The Force Awakens, before sitting out The Last Jedi and returning for The Rise of Skywalker. Through the Rian Johnson sandwich that was this trilogy, it was obvious that there was no overarching plan from the start, and the movies suffered for it.

Abrams admitted to the disconnect between the three films, as a lack of planning meant that no one knew what they were setting up next. This was why so many threads that were left dangling at the end of Episode VII were essentially ignored or retconned in Episode VIII, before Episode IX did much the same thing to its own predecessor. It was painfully disjointed, with characters coming and going, seemingly key plotlines being ignored, and whatever the idea behind bringing Palpatine back was.
