While many fans consider Star Wars: The Last Jedi to be the most divisive entry into the Star Wars franchise, there are quite a few things all fans agree on. One widely held belief is that the film took the saga in unexpected directions, with some audiences appreciating the fresh perspective for the series while others were disappointed that they were deprived of things they had hoped to see. Another commonality is that, more than three years after the release of the film, fans are still passionately talking about it, as some fans continue to praise its accomplishments as others continue to personally attack Johnson for “ruining” the series. Knowing that progressing with an entire trilogy of announced films means committing to more years of endless toxicity being spewed at him, it’s clear that Lucasfilm and Star Wars have a lot more to lose if Johnson doesn’t move forward with his trilogy than Johnson has to lose, as he’s proven with multiple projects just how ambitious and inventive of a filmmaker he is and shouldn’t feel beholden to the galaxy far, far away.
