I also don't think TLJ was particularly original, it's just that it basically played out the narrative of ESB & RoTJ in one act to leave space for a different ending, which was smart, if they had given us another trilogy with the same story, same ending... it would have been very weak narratively.

The inconsistencies were because there was a three movie arc that was planned and Rian Johnson, by all accounts, ignored it to do what ever the #### it was he did. Or you can believe Rian Johnson and there was no over-arcing story so he just did what ever the #### he wanted and we got the hot mess he filmed.
The fact that the ending of all of this lead to Rian Johnson fired makes me think he called an audible and Disney sat back and waited to see how it went. When it went poorly they fired him.
At the end of the day, you had to give something that played to what people wanted to see. It's a big part of why the Mandalorian is doing so well. Yeah, you want to do what you can to move to a new, younger, stable of characters, but to have Luke, Han, Leia, Chewbacco, Lando etc. all look like bitches was never going to work. Sure have Han and Luke die, but don't have them be shells of their former selves before doing it. Don't ram a new character down our throats and expect us to accept them. Even people with passing interest weren't paying money to see the new characters. Not at first anyways. Christ, Transformers tried that back in 86, so it wasn't like there wasn't previous examples in fandom.
