    To be fair, 7 and 9 were terrible movies to create a middle movie for. 7 didn’t really set anything up, it just tore down what was already there. Then 9 took an established story from the EU and pissed on it, then threw it on the big screen.

      Where did you get the idea that 9 was written before 8 was made?

      7 set up a few things, 8 just threw everything in the trash without setting up anything to replace it. 9 was hastily scrapped together because 8 left nothing to work with.

        I think you’re off by one there. 8 took what 7 set up and tried to make it something that wasn’t following the well-trodden path of Star Wars past. It tried to some unexpected things that were nonetheless interesting and could have been really great, if 9 hadn’t come along and torn down everything 8 for the sake of placating the “fans”.

        7 only set things up in the fevered dreams of people desperate to consider it a good movie. It took everything that could have happened in the thirty year span between the originals and the sequels and threw it in the trash.
