Does it seem to have a plan or some sort of "we know what we're doing/going" type of arc (as opposed to any of the theatrical releases)?
PS - Swung by to see all the exciting "Rise of Skywalker" discussion sure to be taking place, and fling out a thought or two. As expected - in line with the overall hype/marketing, merchandising, real life discussions I have, etc. - nobody seems to really be giving a rip at this point. After Rian Johnson's little experimental student film two years ago, I can't blame a soul.
Kennedy, Abrams & Co. kicked it in the nuts, dumbed it down, Woke™ it up, got all their ideas/inspiration from 35+ years ago, checked all the boxes that require checking for post-2015 moviemaking, except the ones labeled "coherent, enjoyable story" and "relatable, memorable characters".
Funny, however, that the one saying "purple-haired, suicidal ice queen" made it through with no problem.
Priorities.
