Same song and dance with the US as well. Military waste doesn't count.

And yes, I'm aware the President doesn't make legislation. He could have drafted the bill during his campaign, when he was still a member of Congress, then handed it off to a trusted colleague. Healthcare reform was the main selling point of his platform. It should have been a priority.

I don't think typing out one sentence qualifies, so... no.
Obama had a supermajority at the start of his term. Could have passed a public option, and instead, he passed a carbon copy of the Heritage Foundation's healthcare plan.

Yeah, that's my point. The directors wouldn't work together to make a cohesive story, and Kathleen did nothing to resolve that. That fact doomed the trilogy from the very beginning.

Rian didn't build on the story JJ was setting up in the first one, though. Snoke was being set up for a larger role in the story, and Rian just killed him off. I don't know whether Rian was planning for Kylo or Palpatine to be the final villain, but there was not enough setup work for either case.

I loved nearly all of the characters introduced in the sequel trilogy. They could and should have been handled so much better.

That way, any objections and differences could have been settled upfront. Instead, we ended up with clashing visions and no real communication to reach a solution that wouldn't break the trilogy's cohesion.

He did try something, and that something alienated most of the fanbase. Turned the hero a lot of fans grew up admiring into a do-nothing nihilist and gave a crappy excuse for it.

Not quite what I meant.
JJ, Rian, and the other director they originally chose for 9 should have gotten together to plan the trilogy before filming 7 at all.
November 25, 2025 at 9:09 AM
OR, they should have actually worked *with* one another to make sure they were taking the story in the same direction.

They should have just had JJ Abrams do all three. Rian Johnson completely ruined it all with his obsession for subverting expectations.

I really think The Force Awakens was a decent start to a new trilogy, but it's ruined by the total lack of story cohesion with the other two films.

Yep. Instead, he gave us RomneyCare.

One day, we will be free from the US's oppressive regime. That day can't come soon enough.

Hawai'i does not need American rule. It never has. Freedom for the Hawai'ian people!

I hate both of these men so much.
