J.J. Abrams Admits the Obvious: Disney Didn't Have a Real Plan When They Made the New Star Wars Trilogy

“Having a plan I have learned–in some cases the hard way–is the most critical thing, because otherwise you don’t know what you’re setting up."

Thank you, Disney for continually reiterating that having money doesn't make one smarter, more creative, or more capable. Fucking hilarious shit.

    Gotta love the guys who cry when they give a strong role to a woman or a black guy but can't get over how cool Kylo Ren was.

      When are we going to see another straight white guy with anger issues? When is it their turn?

        Rey is such a Mary Sue! Why can't her character development be more like Luke? What do you mean it's exactly the same in every conceivable way?

      Kylo Ren is still probably the most interesting character in the series if only because "manchild who gets angry" is more personality than the rest of the cast who were basically required to act like sapient cardboard

        If you're only talking new trilogy you're probably right. At least he's a new character that has tangible ties to the original trilogy and has a mildly complex motivation he struggles with throughout the movies. In fact, if they hadn't decided his character was too popular and needed to be protected he would have made a great final antagonist over the randomly reincarnated Palpatine.

        Finn's background as a child soldier could have made him the most interesting character if they actually used it instead of turning him into a comedy prop.
