  • “They had 0 plan for the sequels.”

    Not true, according to the art books and what people associated with the films have said.

    According to Driver, Abrams pitched him that Kylo was going to be inverse-Vader: start vulnerable and then progressively become more dangerous and in control. Which makes TLJ all the more crazy: Kylo, like everyone else, has the exact same arc as before.

    I bet everyone else had arcs that were thrown away, too.

    Michael Arndt also planned for an arc involving Leia rebuilding the republic in the sequels.

    And Boyega has said that Finn’s force powers would have been explored as would the dynamic between Finn and Rey.

    Alan Dean Foster has spoken about being instructed to undermine that relationship between Finn and Rey.

    “I expected to see that developed further in [‘The Last Jedi’]. And zero happened with it. And we all know why zero happened with it — and there’s no need to go into it in-depth — but that’s, sadly, just the way things are.”

    Johnson had totally dismantled Finn and pushed the Ren-Rey romantic relationship as the key one in this trilogy. Johnson admitted that he saw Rey and Kylo in TFA as the beginning of a “romantic” and “intimate” dynamic. She saw him murder his father and her mentor and Johnson felt that was “romantic” and “intimate”?
