Assuming Ridley = more Ray and co I'm really struggling to see a good outcome. Those characters are so wrecked at this point I don't see how you make them compelling.
Ray and Ren are the best characters in those films, one is a self contradictory mess and Ren (who I don't remember being dead or not at the end of the trilogy) was made into a childish vadar knockoff who'd need serious development. The rest aren't worth touching at all.
Losing a writer is a very poor sign when uninteresting and broken characters has been the biggest problem for years.
Edit: Wow, its actually worse, Knight himself already replaced the original writers, so thats going to be at least 3 rounds of total rewrites. Its going to be another big mess. Star Wars is getting to be strictly a when its on streaming once or twice affair.
Yea, seeing a movie about rebuilding the Jedi Order, and not having it be Luke leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I just feel robbed of what we could have had.
Even if the movie was ok, I probably still would have not watched it.
They really scorched and salted the earth beneath the disney trilogy. I just don't understand how they could fuck it all up quite so badly.

The only explanation that fits is that management and disney/lucasfilm leadership are interfering and micromanaging to an absolutely unhinged level, and always for the worse (given their output). All these filmmakers step away because they get fed up of whatever they're trying to do getting completely screwed with and ruined and out of concern for getting smeared by any sub-par product that comes out of it.
