I'll just quote Daisy Ridley. Express sucks but only the direct quotes matter.

"Here’s what I think I know. JJ (Abrams) wrote Episode VII, as well as drafts for VIII and IX. Then Rian Johnson arrived and wrote The Last Jedi entirely. I believe there was some sort of general consensus on the main lines of the trilogy, but apart from that, every director writes and realises his film in his own way. Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams met to discuss all of this, although Episode VIII is still his very own work. I believe Rian didn’t keep anything from the first draft of Episode VIII."

mind you, no idea how accurate this is and if this was taken out of context or whatever. But yeah, after watching the trilogy, I wouldn't be surprised. It very much felt like Johnson straying far from what Abrams wanted and then it was time to scramble in IX to somehow get out of it okay.
