There is no end goal with the Disney sequels. AOTC sucks but you know by the end that the next film will be about Anakin’s disobedience that was exemplified with marrying Padmé and his anger management issues as seen with his massacre of innocent women and children over a deeply personal offense. No one has any clue what TROS will do because TLJ killed so many potential plot threads and left it with “Everyone you loved from the OT is dead except for the one person who probably should have died in this film given what happened IRL, the Empire functionally was never destroyed, the New Republic is dead save for a ship full of 20 people.” Effectively everything is back to square one. Not just any square one either, the square one from the end of Revenge of the Sith. The entire OT has been invalidated and the only possible fix would be even more freaking stupid, a complete retcon of the sequels.


Thanks Disney, you could’ve just adapted the Yuuzhan Vong War and saved us the trouble of all this crap.
