Weird analogy. And anyways not want happened.
Really?
Unlike Star Wars creator George Lucas having a plan for the Star Wars original trilogy, there wasn’t a plan for the Star Wars sequel trilogy.

“Remember, George had an overall arc. If he didn’t have all the details, he had sort of an overall feel for where the three were going.
But this one’s more like a relay race. You run and hand the torch off to the next guy, he picks it up and goes.
Rian didn’t write what happens in 9 – he was going to hand it off to, originally, Colin Trevorrow and now J.J.”
Meanwhile, let’s look at Marvel’s “lack“ of planning.
When Kevin Feige started at Marvel 19 years ago, it was as a whip-smart junior producer making his mark on the set of X-Men by impressing his coworkers with the depth of his comics knowledge. Now he’s the head of Marvel Studios, where he’s taken viewers through the first three phases of the...

In Star Wars, the buck used to stop with Lucas who at least had an overarching vision of how the story would go. In current ST Star Wars, there is no such visionary.
One of the biggest criticisms of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy (second only perhaps to the treatment of Luke Skywalker in Star Wars: The Last Jedi) is the fact that Disney and Lucasfilm embarked on the series of films without a clear road map as to where the story was heading. After raising...

I’ve worked as a producer in film my entire career. And
I always consider myself a voice in the room. But it’s not my ultimate decision. It’s the decision of the director, ultimately.
Lucas wasn’t just a voice, he was THE voice. Feige wasn’t a voice, he was THE voice. Kennedy was a voice. Now the first two created culturally impactful movies that have changed cinema. The last one ranked a near guaranteed franchise.
