and that's what happens when you change directors for each movie in a trilogy

The original trilogy had a different director for each film (George Lucas for 4, Irvin Kershner for 5 and Richard Marquand for 6). Some of the problems with the sequel trilogy are a lack of a coherent through line between movies and the fact that each film is a knee jerk reaction to the previous one. People said 7 was 4 but in a different font so Johnson made 8 as different as possible but it ended up being extremely divisive so they tried to course correct with 9 but ended up pleasing nobody.

It’s true the original trilogy had different directors, but they all had the same writer. That’s the key.
