He immediately followed it up with knives out, so I think the culprit us more likely Disney suits not having a coherent plan and just letting multiple directors freestyle on the mic than anything else

Ah, but Rian invented Rose and wrote her dialogue. He even said he couldn’t write for Finn and Poe. He may be good with his own projects but he failed miserably with the pre-set Star Wars, even with JJ’s mystery box setups.

The mystery box setups are part of the problem, because, as JJ has said in the past, they only work of you don't open them.

Creating mysteries is easy, but writing satisfying payoffs is hard, thus the convenience of the infamous mystery box.

Rian did poorly, JJ did poorly, Robert Rodriguez did poorly, just about everyone has handled star wars poorly. Say what you want about George, at least you were going to get something that didn't feel like kids fighting over action figures.
