    “There were two key things Trevorrow wanted to be changed – and they were not minor”, claims the rumour. “These two things have been known for a while around Disney. Firstly, he wanted Luke to still be alive in 9. He strongly disagreed with killing Luke off in 8 when he had just been re-introduced. Luke and Leia were to be a pivotal part of his script, with Leia’s Force affinity revealed in a much more brother/sister way that was apparently going to be ‘beautiful and tragic’. Mark Hamill loved it. ‘We were on the same page,’ as he’s said about Trevorrow’s storyline. However, Kennedy and Johnson wanted Luke dead – period. Second, he wanted Snoke to live, as his back story was to be more discussed. Fisher dying scuttled his original plan for the Leia Force affinity reveal, of course. But he still needed Luke alive for the story he wanted to tell to end the trilogy – more of a Luke handing off the baton to Rey and a Luke ‘walking off into the sunset’ idea, in the last film – rather than Luke dying in 8. They refused. He argued. They fired him.”

    I dont think the reactions are quite that bad MO lol but i would have to agree that the way Disney has chosen to write this series has been pretty bad. I couldnt even make it all the way through Jedi before turning it off. That has never happened with me for a Star Wars movie.

    Eh, I would take this with a grain of salt Shane. This is an unsubstantiated rumor from Reddit and none of it adds up. Colin was actually pegged to write and direct Episode IX only and had no say in Episode VII's story and it sounds like he was given multiple shots and produced multiple drafts. After his movie the Book of Henry bombed is when they pulled the trigger to fire him and he sounds like a pain in the ass to work with. Was he like this because of the reasons stated in the rumor? Possibly.

    I do find it concerning that around 4 directors were already replaced in these new Star Wars films going back to Rogue One. I will give you that some of the creative choices (or lack thereof with Episode VII especially) are directly tied to Kathleen Kennedy not wanting to cede control it seems. I think I would be more excited if Lord and Miller were still directing Han Solo instead of Ron Howard, I thought they did a great job with the Lego Movie. I feel that under Howard's direction we will get a visually impressive but by the numbers Star Wars flick. It's frustrating because aside from Rogue One it feels like they are wasting lots of potential to expand the Star Wars mythos in non-retarded Princess floating ways.

    I am bummed that they followed the best Star Wars movie ever (Rogue One) with the worst. The Last Jedi was ******* hot garbage.

    Hey, you were gone forever and you're back for a second and you're gone again (but we could always go try to get you back) vs. the final 'you're gone for good' is interesting.

    But it's really more about developing new characters as opposed to just clinging onto the past.

    And that is a big problem I had with Episodes VII and VIII. Rey and Kylo are "ok" but I could give a rats ass about Poe, Finn, and now Rose. I was invested in Luke, Leia, and Han almost right away.
