Video Description
In this video essay, we revisit the failure of the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. After Disney took over Lucasfilm, Star Wars has had a turbulent journey into a franchise low point in 2025. We go back to where things all went wrong.. the Star Wars Sequels. We take a deep dive retrospective look into The Force Awakens, The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker and figure out what went wrong, and whether or not these films have aged well. Is it more than just the incompetence of Kathleen Kennedy, Rian Johnson and JJ Abrams that led us here? The Force Awakens (2015) The Last Jedi (2017) The Rise of Skywalker (2019) Timecodes 0:00 - Intro 2:19 - The Force Awakens 16:50 - The Last Jedi 29:36 - The Rise of Skywalker
