To be fair to John Jonah, he had to work around the director of TLJ’s narcissistic take on the 2nd episode of a trilogy, i.e. not giving a shit how the next director (whoever it was going to be at that time) could possibly come up with a good conclusion to two extremely disjointed prior movies. I mean it’s neither director’s fault, to be honest, it’s Lucasfilm’s, marketing this as “The next SW trilogy!!”, not just “three more movies from that universe you guys seem to enjoy so much”. Also he was too busy running a newspaper at the same time.
