I can’t believe they would actually make 3 movies like this. I don’t understand this belief that there was no over arching plots and character arcs for the 3 movies with the directors given freedom within those bounds to do what they wanted.

It would be just stupid to try to do that. They also continually fired directors so there is no way the higher ups just let Rian go rouge and change everything that JJ had planned. Especially when the same company also owns a studio that just planned a 30 movie 10 year interconnected universe.

I don’t know if Occam’s razor or Hanlon’s is more appropriate to apply.
