by the logic you seem to be using, 9 also didn't undo anything 8 did, which is patently absurd

setting up a character to serve as a villain for three films then killing them off partway through the second is very clearly different than setting up a character to server as a villain for three films then killing them off at the end of the third film

snoke as the overarching villain

wow that was difficult

The flip side of that though is just you end up with detective shows and spy shows and soap operas, in space, with a splash of sci-fi paint thrown over them.

jedi are literally samurai with a splash of sci-fi paint

Jedi and Sith are a unique storytelling point, and there hasn’t been enough about their conflict with each other, and by that I mean whole organization versus whole organization wise, and them manipulating the larger politics of the various systems and so forth to their cause, etc.

you're describing the overarching plot of the prequels

The Sith as a large organization hasn’t been seen in movies or tv, only in games.

the rule of two kind of makes that impossible

if it was a standalone movie, sure

but it wasn't a standalone movie

it was a sequel to a movie and basically just served to undo everything 7 did

why make a trilogy if you're just going to have the first two films cancel out? just make 1 film

it's definitely weird

It was a stunning turn of events for Dean and his family. Green says he was very healthy — someone who went to the gym, ran nearly every day and was very careful about his diet.

"This was his first time ever in a hospital," she said. "He didn't even have a doctor because he never was sick."

But within days, Dean's kidneys gave out and he was relying on an ECMO life support machine to do the work of his heart and lungs. The night before Dean died, Green said, the medical staff in Oklahoma did a bronchoscopy on his lungs.

"The doctor said he'd never seen anything like it before in his life. His lungs were just totally ... gummed up, and like a mesh over them."

It just requires more risk, which is why it hasn't been tried as much.

"tell more stories about the jedi without retreading the same ground" is the same request as "tell more stories about the star wars universe without retreading the same ground" just with less risk, and in turn with less potential for truly interesting and unique ideas
