In the darkest moments of Star Wars fandom...

All the pro critics on Rottentomatoes are now hating TROS so I guess that makes THEM racist, misogynist, manbabies, and Russian bots.

Nice. You're saying Lando was white in the OT?! I mean, he was definitely one of the *heroes* of of the Rebellion in Return and practically blew up the Death Star himself. I really don't get your SJW agenda and why it takes priority over a good story and characters, I really don't?!?! Is it because it's out of splite for Trump

He was added because of the complaint that the only "black guy" in the main cast first movie was Vader(James Earl Jones).

Lando was very shifty, by the way, in Empire. 
I liked they brought that up in Solo

Lando did what he had to to try and save the citizens of Cloud City. I never saw him as shifty in that film. I saw him trying to navigate an impossible situation.

I hated the way Lando was in Solo. He and Han weren't even friends in that. Solo is the only live action Star Wars film I don't acknowledge.

Well shit... I rather take comfort in the hopes that they will actually make good Star Wars movies after learning of the mistakes of this trilogy. 

This is partially true, especially for the OT. I do think the prequels had more of a game plan, but Lucas still obviously made changes as he went along.

However, it worked for those movies because it all came from one person's vision of the story. The retcons worked a lot better in those. Even in the OT, Lucas was still the creative force behind all the films. He didn't just hand total creative control over to the next director. That's the issue here. Total creative control was given to different directors who were very obviously at odds with each other....

^ agree,

The most structured game plan in Star Wars was the PT. These films play like a 3-act play (light, twilight, dark) - which makes some chapters more exiting than others. Lucas knew how and where Anakin's downfall and Palpatines rise would go.

The OT storyline was made up as they went on. This explains some of the bigger OT plot holes such as Vaders changing personality, Obi Wan becoming a cunning liar, or the incest thing.  But I think that for the most part these changes were successfully inserted to create a more interesting narrative: eg Vader in Empire is this demonic, ruthless leader who wants to destroy his emperor and rule the galaxy; in Jedi he is conflicted and forgiving, but must "serve" his master (protecting him). That provided for a more interesting character development.

Same cannot be said for the ST, here, despite them building upon the already established narrative OT structure, the recons and contradictions (against the Lucas sextology and ST films) seem based on polls and show a lack of plan and coherent artistic vision.

Woulda been hard for the prequels to retcon much, with the outcome already seen decades before.

well, I am talking inner trilogy coherence and development.

Lucas had not much of a backstory except that Anakin was "a good man" who somehow became super evil. This means he is a sociopath rather than a psychopath. Lucas solved that formidably by letting Anakin stumbling over his (well meaning) attachments, fear of loss and inability to let go, which lead to him wishing to control everything and ultimately destroy what he wishes to protect (fear leads to anger etc).

Palpatine's rise was completely open, also how the republic fell. Lucas could have gone the trivial route by having the evil empire attack and conquer the peaceful republic from the outside. He chose the artistically and creatively valuable path of a democratic republic being systematically corrupted from inside and the Empire/dark side growing out of it like a cancer a la Julius Caesar, Napoleon or A Hitler, all correlating with the balance of the force concept (or even with spaceship designs eg Jedi police ship turns into star destroyer in II - brilliant!).

There are retcons and minor plot holes, eg Padmes death which was done to add gravitas to the tragedy; these holes must be closed with Force memory, empath abilities or Leia talking about Bail's wife dying.
