    "Duel of the Fates" isn't perfect, but it feels more in-line and more in tone with Episodes VII and VIII. It doesn't negate anything and builds upon what works before. Finn and Rose were really able to really shine in this initial screenplay, and its a shame this development fell to the wayside. I also appreciated the darker tone as it raises the stakes of the story. Finally, a duel bladed blue lightsaber wielded by Ray throughout the entire movie. Heck, yeah! That's great skill progression for her character.
    My Rankings from favorite to least would be:
    1) ROTJ
    2)TESB
    3) ANH
    4) ROTS
    5) Rogue One
    6) TLJ
    7) TFA
    8) TPM
    9) Solo
    10) AOTC
    11) TROS

    The Duel of the Fates story was ultimately a better story for a final chapter in this trilogy. Execution could’ve been another story, but I feel if they used more of the script’s plot, JJ could’ve even directed it pretty well. The best thing is that it does all the new characters justice in a way that they deserved.

  • @newfontherock
    @newfontherock 2 года назад +1

    I think the reason why we didn’t get something closer to this script was because the story group did not want Rey to focus on her darker side as a positive. It’s not very Disney and runs counter to everything that came before, except for TLJ which split the fan base. The idea of using anger in a positive way and even using force lightning as necessary probably made some executives uncomfortable. But it would’ve made for an awesome movie. It would’ve been daring and risky. Everything the Rise of Skywalker is not.
    At the end of TROS Rey embraces her light side by choosing her name. She is, essentially identifying against her darker side. In this comic though, she embraces it. It is a very postmodern film. TROS is stuck in modernity and the status quo. Still made a shit ton of money though.

    1) Empire Strikes Back (The best Star Wars movie & one of the best films of all time)
    2) A New Hope (The film that change cinema & that still inspires film makers to this day)
    3) Return of the Jedi (A great conclusion to the original trilogy)
    4) Rogue One (Currently the best Star Wars film of the Disney Era featuring a great ensemble & a fantastic third act battle)
    5) The Force Awakens (A fun adventure introducing a new generation to Star Wars while also bringing back some the classic characters)
    6) Revenge of the Sith (The best film of the prequel trilogy)
    7) The Phantom Menace (A enjoyable film that brought back/introduced a new generation to Star Wars)
    8) The Last Jedi (Despite great performances from Adam Driver & Mark Hamill, & stunning cinematography; The Last Jedi ultimately didn’t work for me due to the humor, negating things set up in The Force Awakens, & the storylines of Poe/Holdo & especially Finn/Rose. I respect the people who like the movie, it just didn’t work for me)
    9) Solo (Outside of Donald Glover as Lando, this was a movie that just felt empty to me. I’ll always wonder what could’ve been if Phil Lord & Chris Miller had stayed on)
    10) Attack of the Clones (Ewan McGregor continues to shine as Obi-Wan; but Attack of the Clones overall is a poorly acted/written film featuring one of the worst romances ever in film history)
    11) Rise of Skywalker (A disappointment in every way imaginable; Rise of Skywalker ends the sequel trilogy & overall nine film saga on a low note)

      But in the past year or so, I’ve come to like it again more and more.
      It really is tonally unique from the rest, and does a great job setting up a lot of what works in the new canon.
      Such an underrated aesthetic as well with all the new Stormtroopers it introduced.

    I did not expect Force Awakens and Rise of Skywalker to drop this low for me especially under Solo, Phantom Menace, and Attack of the Clones. When I think about it, there’s no meat and potatoes in the sequels. With Last Jedi, it felt like they put a plate of plastic food in front of you and called it meat and potatoes. It’s hollow and very hard to eat because it just does not taste good. You guys are right about Rogue One. It gets much better upon rewatch. I love how it feels like a war film and how there are stakes and consequences. Also, Jyn Erso give some great speeches. It’s a really good movie. With the Prequels, sure there’s some bad acting and bad dialogue and bad direction. But they are fun and they expand on the lore of Star Wars with the politics and different characters and story arcs. Solo is fun. Return and A New Hope are almost interchangeable for me but there’s more that I love about A New Hope than Return. Empire has always held my number one spot. There’s something about it that’s so mesmerizing. It’s my definition of a perfect movie. It’s not only my favorite Star Wars movie but it’s my all-time favorite movie.

    On the topic of the cloning in Mando being a setup for Snoke…or Palps I think that it could be? But at this point Palpatine is already in a clone body. He transferred his essence immediately in Return of the Jedi. And the comics have a run with Vader where he goes to Exegol and sees that Snoke is already in existence. And that Snoke may have been cloned from Luke’s hand.

      Snoke is just one of many failed Palpatine clones, though. It makes sense that other "test tube failures" would still look like him, no matter what era they're appearing in. And remember, they're wanting Grogu's blood because Palpatine wants to exist in a viable clone body that can withstand his force power without falling apart. Yes, he's already in that clone body, but he's trying to still get a better one. The stuff we're seeing in The Mandalorian still fits in with that even in the time it takes place in.

    4. Revenge of the Sith (Republic era, Jedis, Obi/McGregor)
    5. The Phantom Menace (Republic era, Jedi hayday, Neeson/Qui-Gon, awesome quotes)

    I wasn't a huge Star Wars fan as a kid, Phantom Menace was the first one i saw in the theater and i fell in love with it.. i just love everything about it. The prequels are my favorite in general, i just enjoy the story, the action, the characters and the music more... maybe cause i grew up with it, that stuff is "my" Star Wars.
    I couldn't believe when years later i found out how much those movies were hated on the internet LOL
    So, i don't know if my list is the weirdest one yet but hey, it's mine! :D
    1. The Phantom Menace

    8. Return of the Jedi
    9. The Last Jedi
    10. The Rise of Skywalker
    11. Solo
    P.S. I wanna just point out that i'm italian so i grew up with the italian version of those movies, so maybe the italian version of the prequels are better than the originals, cause some of the voice actors are really amazing, for example the italian voice actor for Hayden Christensen is the same guy that dub Leonardo Di Caprio and is VERY good. Of course the script is the same but, maybe is better acted.

  • @ErikSlaby
    @ErikSlaby 2 года назад

    I loved the Duel of the Fates story. It was so much better then the Rise of Skywalker and tied everything together. Even though I wasn’t a Last Jedi fan, I like that this story at least makes the story throughout the trilogy coherent. How the trilogy ended up feels like a Frankenstein mismatch of parts that don’t make sense.
    I agree with you Kristian, I would’ve been fine with a Leia recasting but I get why they didn’t. I loved the Kylo/Vader scene as well as Luke haunting Kylo and still teaching Rey. Luke repeating Obi-Wan’s teachings from a New Hope was fantastic. I also loved that Obi-Wan and Yoda got to show up as force ghosts and it worked. Most importantly though, Kylo wasn’t fully redeemed but was in a way that didn’t cheapen or ruin Anakin’s story. I’d love to see this story as a graphic novel or ideally, an animated What If Star Wars movie.
    Here are my rankings:
    1. A New Hope. It’s just so enjoyable to me from Obi-Wan, Han, Luke, Vader, Leia, there’s not a bad moment in the film and the story is so rich.
    2. Empire Strikes Back. Pretty much the same thing as a New Hope along with killer twists and character development.
    3. Revenge of The Sith. Ewan McGregor and Hayden Christiansen are both fantastic in this movie and the story is so good. It says something that even though I know how it ends, I keep rooting for Anakin to not turn to the dark side.
    4. Return of The Jedi. A perfect ending to a perfect trilogy. It hit all of the beats it needed to perfectly and everything, aside from some of the Ewok stuff, worked for me.
    5. Rogue One. This movie keeps getting better over time. It’s such a solid enjoyable movie, all of the characters are great and the back half of this movie is fantastic.
    6. Phantom Menace. Just a fun movie and was the first Star Wars movie I saw. I remember being in Radio Shack as a kid, watching the podrace scene and Obi-Wan & Qui-Gon fight droids and thinking how awesome it was and that I needed to see the whole movie.
    7. Force Awakens. Solid movie and definitely enjoyable with great characters but with how the overall story turned out, it’s fallen a bit for me. I also wasn’t thrilled from the beginning how it felt beat for beat like remake of A New Hope with some slight differences.
    8. Attack of The Clones. Terrible dialogue for sure but the Obi-Wan detective story is fantastic, the second half of the movie is so entertaining and the story completely captured me. Just sloppy execution, which I can get past.
    9. Solo. Definitely a lot more fun then I remembered. Most of the characters were fun and the overall story was fine but I didn’t buy into the Alden casting completely. There’s moments where he has a bit of Han in him, but not enough. I think with a better casting, this movie might be higher.
    10. Rise of Skywalker. Complete cotton candy movie. A lot of the story makes no sense but some of the characters are still entertaining and enjoyable to watch.
    11. Last Jedi - A gorgeous movie but the story was brutal. I did not like the story at all, especially Luke’s story. It was just painful at times. The Ben Solo - Rey stuff really works but aside from that, the movie is just not fun.

    1. Empire Strikes Back (Idek what else I have to say about this. It’s just simply one of the best movies ever made aside from this franchise)
    2. Force Awakens (nothing can capture the excitement I had watching this in the theater. They brilliantly brought the franchise back and hooked me with a fantastic cliffhanger)
    3. Return of the Jedi (undeniably one of the greatest endings to a movie/franchise. The stuff with Luke Vader and the Emperor is the best dialogue and events in all of Star Wars)
    4. Revenge of the Sith (very corny with some rough acting and dialogue, but I really feel the stakes of this movie of the fallen chosen one and the third act is amazing to me)
    5. A New Hope (changed movies forever and undeniably one of the greats, but I just enjoy the other ones more)
    6. The Last Jedi (I don’t hate this. If episode 9 landed, I think this would be much higher on people’s lists)
    7. Rogue One (has one of the best scenes in Star Wars history with an undeniably amazing third act, but the rest of the movie is very boring to me)
    8. Solo (again has its good and awful. But the idea of Qira making Han this untrusting smuggler angle is actually really interesting to me)
    9. Phantom Menace (has its good, has its awful)
    10. Rise of Skywalker (whoever switched out what could’ve been a great Duel of the Fates movie with this Endgame wannabe should be arrested)
    11. Attack of the Clones (this is just tough to sit through, I don’t get the new love it’s finding. Maybe cuz I haven’t seen clone wars)

    After Force Awakens, I was excited for two years. I read everything I could get my hands on and listened to countless speculation videos, including many of yours. The movie was beautifully crafted, the mysteries were intriguing, and I loved the new characters. I couldn’t wait to see what was going to happen and how it all connected to the lore and the story as a whole. In contrast, I walked out of the theatre after seeing Last Jedi and thought “I don’t really care what happens next.” I was not excited for Solo or Rise of Skywalker. The movie completely killed my enthusiasm. It’s not a critique of how well the movie was made. It just didn’t give me what I was looking for out of Star Wars. However, the recent and upcoming material is getting me excited again. It’s too bad we’ll never get to see Duel of the Fates. This may have tied it all together and saved the sequel trilogy for me. Here’s my list…
    1. Return of the Jedi/Empire Strikes Back
    2. Star Wars
    3. The Force Awakens/Revenge of the Sith
    4. Rogue One
    5. The Phantom Menace/Attack of the Clones

    TL;DR: The Empire Strikes Back, A New Hope, Rogue One, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, Solo, The Rise of Skywalker, Revenge of the Sith, The Phantom Menace, Attack of the Clones, The Last Jedi
    1. The Empire Strikes Back (In the running for most beautiful sci-fi movie ever made; great direction and music; makes the Force even more magical and interesting)
    2. A New Hope (The ultimate start of the hero's journey on film, imho; incredible effects and movie-making magic)
    3. Rogue One (Some incredible sequences; interesting to see another "Force-cult"; an interesting change in tone and focus)
    4. Return of the Jedi (Some pretty cheesy moments, to be honest, but the whole sequence on the second Death Star is incredible)
    5. The Force Awakens (Derivative? Certainly. But it's also fun, joyous, and a reminder of what I loved about the OT)
    6. Solo (A fun story. Doesn't really add much to the mythos/galaxy, but it didn't really need to; some things can just be fun, right?)
    7. The Rise of Skywalker (I don't dislike this movie. I see and acknowledge all the problems with it, but with Carrie's passing and the previous installment, they were dealt a near impossible hand)
    8. Revenge of the Sith (The CGI was getting a bit more tolerable by this point, and the story is fantastic. The execution still isn't great, showing that George is at his best as an ideas guy and a shepherd)
    9. The Phantom Menace (I still remember seeing it in the theaters as a teenager, thinking "This is what we've waited for?" It was a big let-down at the time, and some narrative and stylistic choices were really bad, imho. But it also expanded the lore/mythos/galaxy, had an incredible lightsaber duel with sublime music, and set up the Machiavellian rise of Palpatine. Like the other PT films, I think it's an excellent rough draft; they just needed someone else to come in and fix the script, and they needed a different director.)
    10. Attack of the Clones (Pretty cringey. It almost seemed like George took the criticism from TPM and leaned into it even more.)
    11. The Last Jedi (Personally speaking, this is the most disappointing film I've ever seen. I'll never understanding how Disney/LFL okayed this after hyping Luke's return so much in TFA. Who in their right mind would think of this story as a satisfying pay-off? It has some well-directed and shot sequences, and the class commentary is perhaps the best in any Star Wars film, but that's about all that I can say positively about it. TLJ is often lauded as being "wildly inventive," though it is also quite derivative of ESB, and much of the film is, narratively speaking, pointless. It's also in the running for the most racist Star Wars film - see #StarWarsHatesPOC on Twitter. It's the only Disney-era Star Wars films that I only saw once in the theater; I then rewatched it with the director's commentary, just to see if maybe my initial reaction was too knee-jerk, but it only confirmed to me that RJ does not even remotely understand what Star Wars is or should be. The joy and magic of the ST was entirely absent from this pompous love-letter to RJ's own ego, and most of the flaws in TROS can be directly tied to this entry. I see it as the anti-ESB. While ESB fleshed out the world and raised the stakes in a way that set up great potential for the final installment of the trilogy, TLJ makes an absolute mess of the set up from TFA; it doesn't pick up on the most promising elements from the first film, and instead pivots to unpleasant and pointless tedium. A truly abysmal film.)

    My list, just for the hell of it, also from last to first: The Last Jedi and Rise of Skywalker are tied in last place for me, then is Attack of the Clones, The Phantom Menace, Solo, Revenge of the Sith, The Force Awakens, Rogue One, A New Hope, Return of the Jedi, and Empire Strikes Back. I really, really love Rogue One, though, so it's pretty much tied with A New Hope for 3rd, I think.

    1. Rogue one
    2. Return of the Jedi (was the one I saw the most as a kid)
    3. Empire strikes back
    4. Phantom Menace (for three scenes alone. The intro, the podrace, and the duel of fates.)
    5. A new hope
    +(Duel of fates potentially?)
    6. Force Awakens
    7. Attack of the Clones. (Colliseum to credits is fantastic)
    8. Last Jedi
    9. Revenge of the Sith
    10. Solo
    11. Rise of Skywalker
    I can only watch the sequels as stand alone films. There is only 10 minutes in rise of skywalker that is even watchable right in the middle. Thats Rey vs Kylo up until he talks to memory Han and tosses the saber. If 9 was just that as a short film I might have even put it higher.

    I don't think Duel of the Fates was supposed to film in 2016, especially since Trevorrow turned in a draft of the script the week before Carrie Fisher passed away. The month after that I think Lucasfilm hired the Cursed Child writer to punch it up, and then the whole timeline is a mess in my head. There were a bunch of writers coming and going before Trevorrow ultimately left, and then J.J. was announced in September 2017.

    I do wish people would stop saying Duel of the Fates was going to be the movie we would've gotten. The Duel of the Fates script that was released was a draft...maybe a final draft for Trevorrow but Carrie Fisher's death turned it into a draft that needed reworking. Who knows exactly what happened with Trevorrow, maybe Book of Henry stuff, maybe he couldn't figure out how to handle Leia, maybe he just listed Leia's death in the opening scroll. Who really knows except the people directly involved. It's just a piece of fan fiction at this point.

    I don't agree with all of Mike's list, but I do love Rogue One about as much as he does. Right now I would put it 4th after the whole OT, like Kristian, but MAYBE it could one day jump up above one of them to be number 3. I do love that film more every time I see it.

  • @senpaigarr

    Here is my list based on enjoyment from watching:
    1 - The Empire Strikes Back
    2 - Return of the Jedi
    3 - A New Hope
    4 - The Force Awakens ( I saw this 4 times in theatre and many more at home. I like this movie for what it is. I liked the set up of these new characters and story, but was so disappointed about where things went after this film)
    5 - Attack of the Clones (I watched this 6 times in the theatre when it came out, I was 12. This movie has brutal dialogue and acting, but I loved Jango Fett, Slave 1 dogfight, Coruscant speeder chase, Genosis arena/Jedi going into battle, Kamino, the Clones, Yoda lightsaber fight, etc. And this spun off some of my favourite childhood games Bounty Hunter, Battlefront, and The Clone Wars. Was a big time in my life for Star Wars and even though I think it's the worst of the prequels, I still like it the most out of the three lol)
    6 - The Phantom Menace (This came out when I was 9. And maybe it is nostalgia, but I like this more than a bunch of the other movies. Qui Gon, the Pod Race, Darth Maul, Naboo, Coruscant, seeing the Jedi council, young Obi Wan, going back to Tatooine, Duel of the Fates end lightsaber battle.
    7 - Revenge of the Sith (This is better quality than PM and AOTC, and even though I know the story has to go this way, I hate that the bad guys win. Brings me down lol)
    8 - Rogue One (Only watched 4 times all the way through.)
    9 - Solo (Only watched 3 times all the way through.)
    10 - The Last Jedi (Only watched this 4 times all the way through.)
    11 - The Rise of Skywalker (Only watched 2 times all the way trough. This movie is just brutal for me. Such a mess that just doesn't really make any sense at all. I really do dislike everything about this movie even more so then The Last Jedi.)

    Always enjoy and respect Kristian’s takes on all things SW. However, I cannot agree that The Last Jedi is SO egregiously unenjoyable that it ranks at the bottom of any SW movie list (too many powerful moments, incl Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher's - live/not CGI - final onscreen appearance together; Luke/Binary Sunset 2.0; the Return of Master Yoda; the Throne Room, etc.). Or that the Prequels - taken in its final form when released (and not retroactively based on half-baked concepts/themes/ideas or intentions that only came to fruition later in The Clone Wars) - are any good. So without further ado, my SW movie enjoyment rankings (a special shout-out to The Mandalorian, which as an 11 hour feature or trilogy, would probably land in the #4 - 6 range):
    1. A New Hope (the OG. without this, there are no others)
    2. The Empire Strikes Back
    3. Return of the Jedi
    4. The Force Awakens (“Chewie, we’re home” still gives me goosebumps)
    5. The Last Jedi
    6. Rogue One (honestly doesn’t get good until the last 40 mins)
    7. The Rise of Skywalker (moves up a spot if we see all the Force Ghosts during RISE)
    8. Attack of the Clones (Yoda’s first on-screen lightsaber action worth the price of admission alone)
    9. Revenge of the Sith (a disappointing end to a disappointing trilogy)
    10. The Phantom Menace (barely saved by Darth Maul and Duel of the Fates…barely)
    11. Solo (would love to see the Lord and Miller Cut)

    @Vulcanerd 2 года назад +1

    I think I've said this in previous comments during the SW re-watches, but it never made sense to me that "Rey was a no one" was such a big deal or even something for fans to latch on to. As far as I know, Kenobi didn't come from a powerful line of Force users. Neither Yoda nor Windu nor Ki-Adi-Mundi, Plo Koon or Dooku or Yaddle or whoever. You know who I have to go back to to remember some lineage? Bastila and Satele Shan and they're separated by generations and no longer even canon.
    I'm sure someone out there will correct me about some of these, but the notion of a Jedi not coming from a powerful 'bloodline' was *the* norm, not some wondrous exception.

    1. Empire Strikes Back (perfection)
    2. Return of the Jedi (near perfection)
    3. Revenge of the Sith (best intro shot in any SW movie, Story is solid, but feels rushed, honestly needed about 15 more minutes)
    4. A New Hope (Solid movie, greatly bolstered by Empire and Jedi being so strong)
    5. The Phantom Menace (Best action scene with the Pod Race, Best Lightsaber fight in SW, set perfectly to Duel of the Fates, restrained by bad acting and clunky filler between, Switch Jar Jar to subtitled made-up language)
    6. Solo (Fun action flick, amazing set up, remove the stupid "naming" scene and subtitle the Alien at the beginning, and this increases greatly)
    7. The Force Awakens (Endorphin overload, ruined by terrible follow through)
    8. Attack of the Clones (Suffers from terrible acting/poor direction of actors. Story is bloated and could be streamlined, but has Jango Fett and Obi-Wan scenes which make it watchable)
    9. Rogue One (Sorry, this movie is just depressing and suffers from poorly established characters, unless you read the prequel books.The 5 second Vader/Leia cameo gooses nostalgia as it ends.)
    10. The Rise of Skywalker (Waste of potential, especially when compared with Trevarrow closer)
    11. The Last Jedi (ZERO continuation of character, other than Rey and Kylo, betrays Luke's character. Could have been salvaged by Trevarrow Script.)

    Ultimately, I think Kennedy was too afraid of the backlash if they recast Leia -- 99.9% of the fanbase was adamant that they NOT replace Carrie Fisher. The only RUclipsr I recall saying they should was John Campea (and people constantly gave him crap for saying that). However, after reading Duel of the Fates, it's clear that Kennedy should have stuck to her guns and recast Leia. One of Carrie Fisher's best friends was Meryl Streep... can you imagine if they got Streep to play Leia in Ep9???

    It kinda feels like sacrilege having Phantom Menace so high up and A New Hope so close to the bottom, but I have to be honest with the experience I have had with the movies recently. I definitely believe if Duel of the Fates had come out instead of Rise of Skywalker, I would enjoy Last Jedi and Force Awakens a lot more because of how well it ties everything together.

  • @tashrif46
    @tashrif46 2 года назад

    The Duel of the Fates should have played in Ep. VII. As for the book, please Disney, just make a What If? animated movie.
    My rankings
    1. The Last Jedi (A movie which was brave with the decisions it made, there is the old-man Luke which really felt inspired from The Dark Knight Returns, and there is a setup of Rey and Kylo, the last ever scene with Luke and Leia and then Luke confronting the First Order himself, which projected the legend of Skywalker to the entire Resistance as you see Poe getting wid-eyed when Luke walks out)
    2. Return of the Jedi (The finalization of Luke as a hero and the redemption of Darth Vader being so satisfying)
    3. Empire Strikes Back (Probably the best movie of the franchise)
    4. A New Hope (The movie that changed the landscape of the sci-fi genre)
    5. Rogue One (The best Star Wars war movie)
    6. Revenge of the Sith (The darkest of the movie series. Incredible payoff only to be bogged down by some really questionable acting)
    7. Force Awakens (A great setup movie but ultimately repeated beats of the New Hope)
    8. Solo: A Star Wars Story (A good movie, Emilia Clarke as Qi'ra steals the movie, but ultimately a slow plot and questionable story decisions)
    9. Rise of Skywalker (A poor ending to a brilliant setup from the Last Jedi)
    10. The Phantom Menace (Poor dialogue, slow plot, some overly racist voiceover, failing to make the politics enjoyable. Only the Duel of the Fates fight scene keeps it from the bottom)
    11. Attack of the Clones (Horrible movie, laughable CGI, bordering horrible dialogue, a romance story which was cringe-worthy rather than believable. Overall nothing enjoyable. Not the plot or the characters)

  • @mreszotnik
    @mreszotnik 2 года назад

    On reflection I have one more thing to add - regarding rumours about conflict between Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams. People forget that JJ Abrams was the executive producer of the Last Jedi. He had full access to the script well before shooting started. It was his job to veto stuff that did not make sense in larger context. From this fact alone we can narrow down what happened between Rian and JJ. These are possibilities: 1) JJ did not do his job and was blindsided by Rian (not likely since JJ is rmoured to be a hard worker, and he does care about Star Wars); 2) JJ was told to shut up and accept everything that Rian came up with (not likely to be true after success of TFA); 3) JJ really and genuinely liked Rian's script.
    If we assume option 3 is correct one then why TROS is so inconsistent with TLJ? In my opinion there are two reasons for it:
    1) JJ is director that always frets over opinion of the audience so he was (too) eager to please fans that criticised TLJ and he overcorrected
    2) He really had much less time to come up with TROS - Trevorrow provided draft of his screenplay by December 2017. JJ had to scramble to get the resources and ideas he needed, famously changing script multiple times during shooting, which is sadly impacted the final product negatively.
    Also, JJ did not really want to do part 3 - he was convinced to do so by his wife. Source: www.indiewire.com/2019/04/j-j-abrams-star-wars-episode-ix-fears-directing-1202057230
    IMO, the rumored conflict between the two directors is just overdramatisation on the part of audiences who set themselves firmly in antagonistic camps. I think the reality is more boring: a sequence of errors on their part and the fact that Disney simply did not appreciate the effort required to create those movies and set impossible timelines for the directors, especially for JJ with TROS.
