    From the director of Rogue One

    Gotta give it to Gareth Edwards … I’m guessing he’s the only new-Star-Wars director who has made it out with a poster worthy marketable credit.

      It’s also pretty damning to the franchise that all of the directors were already established–or like Gareth Edwards and Rian Johnson, are up-and-comers–who are generally seen as being better than the Star Wars films they were involved with.

      Clearly the problem was not just the directors. The whole approach was fundamentally broken.

        It 100% had to do with top level leadership interference. People feeling like they had to stake their claim in the franchise without understanding or really caring about the material.
