Don't forget Peter Cushing. While not exactly an A lister at the time, he had name recognition.
And with that whole "we're putting time travel into the stories". It got me thinking: Yo, dawg, we retconned your favorite films, but they suck so now we're going to retcon the retcon!
I have a feeling we might be staring at a rehash of Dallas here. Episode 10 opening sequence, we see hazy images of 7-9, then a youngish Luke (with The Irisman younging) wakes up in a sweat and we get a decent trilogy!
...one can hope!

People dont like it because its a lazy gimmick that hack writers use to get themselves out of a problem.

What Daisy means is that the damage didn't total up until Rise press tour.
The reason for this was TFA was well-received, so heading into TLJ you had a lot of love. It wasn't until the 3rd movie that the fandom menace was in full effect. Which is why Rise failed to outperform Joker at the box office.

Well she played a corpse on that one British show one time and I thought she was good in that.

TFA production
- Harrison Ford disagreed with death scene in TFA, in terms of the specifics. He wanted Luke involved in some way, or at least as a witness to it and/or aware of it.
Rise of Skywalker production
- Ford felt that an on-screen reunion of the the 3 original trilogy actors would make sense.
- Ford shot a large amount of scenes for Rise of Skywalker.
- Specific scenes were shot with Luke, Han, Lando, and Leia together in Episode 9. A stand-in actress was used to play Leia.
- Ford is annoyed at the amount of rehearsal, practice and readings he had to do for these scenes. Several hours a day, for several weeks.
- Kathleen Kennedy deleted these scenes from Episode 9 entirely.
- Harrison Ford said to at least keep his work on the Blu-ray, which did not happen.
- Harrison Ford had only returned to work on Rise of Skywalker because he genuinely enjoyed the TFA production, working with JJ, and Adam Driver.
- Ford took pride in his work, despite no love of Star Wars.
- Rift with Kennedy is permanent

I generally dislike the diversity / sjw push going on. But Boyega was great in 7, really liked the Finn character. By 9 he was just standing in the scenes and not used. Didn't really care about Kelly Tran, she was just playing another side character and wasn't that good at it.
By 9 Kennedy seemed to have acknowledged the fan pushback but totally misheard what was being said and just turned Finn into a token. They tried to give Poe the spotlight and that actor sucks. Just another reason why 8 and 9 are garbage.
I come here to hopefully hear that Kennedy and Johnson have been fired from anything ever to do with Star Wars. One can dream.

A major prequel-prequel trilogy that had dinosaurs in it, which its believed Rian was attached to, was cancelled. They're sort of just hanging around at this point.
Taika Waikiki and Rian Johnson were meeting together about the movie Taika is doing but I doubt it amounts to any real collaborative effort. Just Rian's people trying to keep him at Lucas Film. They also put out that he was working with D&D before Disney axed them.

He's not a bad director he just shouldn't be allowed to write Star Wars when I don't think he ever saw a Star Wars movie.

Especially given Rian Johnson has no writing credit of any significance.
Also the FIRST DRAFT of TLJ was used. That NEVER happens in Hollywood. Nobody gets their first draft approved as the final screenplay, but Rian did.
For example, TFA went through at least 3 known major studio ordered re-writes before production began.
There were a bunch of anomalies that enabled TLJs failures.
This is likely why Kiri Hart was removed from Story. Approval of a first draft with 0 changes by a junior writer is unforgivable. Disney caught wind of it and sacked her.

Yeah. Looper was great. Don't know if I've seen anything else by him. Probably, don't usually check the credits for that kind of thing though.
