What plot holes does TLJ have? Are you going to tell me about how we don't know Snoke's backstory? If you map out the story arcs in TLJ, they all make sense, because Rian Johnson actually has some sense about how to tell a story.
wut? RJ is as bland as they come by. Pretentious hack.
Sure TLJ could lead into an alternate EP9 where it is just nobody Rey killing Kylo, an invigorated Resistance beating TFO, and no need for another shadowy big bad.
But this sounds boring af.
Remember he already cemented the bad guys as hot headed/incompetent. He already let Rey rejecte the dark side.
Going any other directions will run into the same problem as Tros. Too much to cover in a final film.
Ep8 is bland.
Should i care about Rose sister sacrifice? Should i care about purple hair lady sacrifice? Luke sacrifice felt bland too.
Ep9 under RJ will be bland. At least Tros was power packed.
If you compared JJ and RJ Episodes, the energy level in JJ characters are way higher.
RJ characters portrayal were like going off some dead script. Besides RJ choice of acts in TLJ were no better - boring ass space chase, pointless casino plot, pointless rose, same plot holes banking on certain conditions to happen.
I guess you can say this is because RJ is a poor director, at least one who is not qualified to do those fancy schmancy meta-socio-political agenda what you can call thingies.
